The Greenbrier looks like a first class hotel. Is it a SPA in White Sulphur Springs? Nice stationery. Did you stay there?

We didn't stay there (not rich enough for that), but spent a day touring the Greenbrier, the former top secret Congressional nuclear fallout bunker beneath it, and the first summer White House (where presidents like Tyler, Van Buren and Buchanan stayed).

Alas, no electronic items were allowed on the bunker tour -- so I left my cellphone and camera behind and didn't get to take any photos at the Greenbrier.

That did answer my inquiry...

I guess what I meant is greener as in less experienced/comfortable with the trappings of wealth and the wealthy - as well as, perhaps, more eco-friendly. She seemed more envious of the lifestyle of most of thee people who stay at the Greenbrier - and the things she was wishing she could experience didn't interest me as much as her. I'm just as envious of their wealth, I imagine, but less at ease with and less desirous certain bits of their lifestyle as I perceive it (one example involved a dress that looked like a poorly made large sock with sequins that was selling there for thousands of dollars).
