I woulda gone with you - I just stayed home and watched football and fell asleep.

we started out heading to cottage grove. but by the time we would have gotten to it, it would have been on its way to st. paul. so we made the trip up 61.

Hey look! Casey Jones!

Thank you, thank you!!

I just love that skit! :sillygrin:

Cool, there's the Post office in the center. All those train tracks are now my parking lot for work.

but isn't the city gonna move the postoffice for the depot? do you know where you're getting moved to and when that postoffice bldg is gonna get torn down? Its got an awesome view of down river and up river - what floor are you on?

I'm on the 4th floor.

As far as I know we are moving to Eagan and the building is going to stay. I think the building might be on some historical registers (not sure). They would probably remove the dock attactment. They would do a transit center where the trains would pull in and back out. (That's how it used to work years ago) Someone brought an old picture to work of what it looked like. Similar to the one above. As you can see from that picture all the train tracks with the builking still there. Right now there is only one track that goes behind the building.

Our move to Eagan isn't going to happen for at least 5 years. I'm guessing 10. The St. Paul Processing and Distrubution Center would be put next to the Bulk Mail Facility.

Alright. Pics from my trip a week or two ago.

1. Grand Central

2. Rockefeller Center

3. Animated snowflakes (set to music) on a building across from Rockefeller.

More Pics

1. Radio City Music Hall

2. Times Square

3. North NY Skyline (Empire State and Chrysler Buildings)

1. Jersey City 9-11 Memorial (looking out over the WTC Skyline)

2. Same memorial, showing the old skyline in a granite monument.

3. Liberty State Park, Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty.

1. Flag Display on Ellis Island (was like one of those pictures that if you move it one way or another a different image shows up)

2. Statue of Liberty

3. A salvaged piece of art from the Trade Center Plaza (Now in Battery Park).

Fantastic pictures, KC! I've never been to NYC but my family is talking about taking a family trip (sans children) sometime.

You have a good eye.

1. World Trade Center Site

2. Don't know why, but this scene just struck me as photo worthy.

3. World Trade Center Memorials

OT, you need to go. I dragged my parents there a few years ago and while they were a little nervous at first, they had the time of their life.

I used to go all the time because hubby worked there and commuted back to here. Right now, hotel rooms are very expensive (Christmas is high tourist season) but if you go at a more rainy time (like March) it isn't as bad.

1. Overlooking the Trade Center Site.

2. This Fire Station is right across the Street from the WTCs I imagine they were probably the 1st ones on the scene.

3. Cross memorial (wasn't easy to get an unobscured shot of, they have fencing up all over the place).

Nice Joel

1. Hayden Planetarium (Saw a show while I was there, pretty cool, would be nice to see a planetarium built here again).

2. Now on to D.C. National Archives (Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights)

3. National Capitol

1. D.C. Subway (Metro) Looks like a 70s sci-fi scene.

2. Looking out on the mall from the Capitol Steps.

3. Inside the Dome.

1. National Capitol Steps

2. Supreme Court

3. Old Library of Congress

1. Now in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, Space Ship One.

2. X-1

3. Spirit of St. Louis

I've been to DC. A one day trip with my son's 6th grade class. One day, including flying there and back. :eek: One of the chaperones was sick and boasted that she threw up in the rest room of every national monument. :lipsealed:

Beautiful pics kc...I went to DC when I was in 8th grade. Too bad I was too much of a shit to enjoy it.

New York city is somewhere I have always wanted to go. I almost got excited when I went on a roadtrip to Horseheads New York.....Definatley not even close!!!!

1. Back on the Mall, Washington Monument.

2. White House (didn't get close, they were lighting the White House Christmas tree so the area was too crowded and secured).

3. WW2 Memorial looking towards the Lincoln Monument.

Almost done.

1. Lincoln Memorial (thought this one turned out interesting)

2. Inside the Lincoln Memorial (I woulda got a shot of Abe, but they were renovationg and had scaffolding all over :angry: )

3. Vietnam Memorial Wall

Thats a trip we will take when the boys are old enough to enjoy it.

Last one, This was as close as I could get to the Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony (Never saw the Pres, but saw his motorcade headed back to the White House)

That lincoln memorial one is FANTASTIC!!! What a neat picture.

Thanks, I've had a few compliments on that one. Guess I just happened to be in the right spot at the right time.

Good shots Joel.

I like seeing the X-1, Spirt of St Louis and Spaceship 0ne all hanging so close together.

Thanks, this guy at work wants me to get him a copy of the Spaceship One shot, his wife works at the Lindbergh Foundation (he liked how one shot I had of it had the Spirit of St. Louis in the backdrop of it).

All great pictures Joel!! You took me right back there. Same time of year too. Was that WTC 7 almost done? That was the new building on the north end of the site. Did you take the subway? I know they stopped allowing cameras and video equipment down there just after I was there. I gotta make it out there again. Especially the beginning of December. Too cool.

This baby deserves another posting. It's fantastic! :smile:

I agree with that shot -its a beautiful sky

I thought the Spirit of St Louis was at the Mpls/St Paul Airport -Lindbergh terminal -guess not

Hayden Planetarium (Saw a show while I was there, pretty cool, would be nice to see a planetarium built here again).

Wasn't that planetarium used in a movie? I talked to someone who said supposedly the mpls library has the 'space' already saved for a new planetarium but it would cost millions.

Isn't there still a planetarium at como elementary school?

nice job joel...half that stuff I wonder if you would have found it without a gps :wink:

Did you venture up Broadway to the Ed Sullivan theater and Central Park?

In the bonding session last year, a bunch of money was set aside for the planetarium, so we should be getting one in the next 5 years or so.
