LMAO!

What's up with that lit-up Cincinnati sign?! :-)

Dreaming of Hawai'i!!!

Today we had a rare lake-effect snow event in north central Illinois; this region is almost always on the leeward side, relative to Lake Michigan (except for today, of course).

Unbelievably easy!

Deutschland ist sehr schön! Und der Dom in Köln is überraschen. Mein lieblings stadt ist München; obwohl ich nie dort gewesen bin! :-D

LS&MS/New York Central Depot in uptown Norwalk was demolished for a Tops Grocery Store.....which is set to become a Giant Eagle. People were angry that this depot was demolished to make room for Norwalk's 6th grocery store. Seriously, how many grocery stores does a town of 17,000 need?

I'm jealous!!! I want aerial photos :-) Very nice shots indeed!

Unfortunately, the next couple of days are going to be very wet :(

Nothing too, too exciting.........just went up to the Marblehead Peninsula to the lighthouse and East Harbor State Park...........a cool, windy, depressing day, but I like the way some of the pics turned out. Marblehead Lighthouse Caretaker's House Cedar Point ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- East Harbor State Park Perry's Monument & South Bass Island in the distance ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Saturday January 6, we had another river flood.........this time the water was higher that the flash flood of last July; although during a "normal" flood like this, property damage and whatnot is not nearly as devastating. I took some shots from my parents' backyard, Blue Bridge, and Monroeville. Backyard Lamereaux Road / Blue Bridge Marsh Field/Park in Monroeville That's it.............nothing very urban.....oh well :-D

Hilarious! Thanks!!!!

If you get a chance, could you do (if these towns are even in the book LOL): DEFINITELY Norwalk or Sandusky MAYBE Willard, Bellevue, Huron, or Vermilion??? *I have a feeling that only Sandusky will be in that book :-D

Sounds like a republican idea to me :) LOL Not the sharpest tool in the shed, are we? ;) town·ship (toun'sh?p') n. (Abbr. Twp. or Tp. or T) A subdivision of a county in most northeast and Midwest U.S. states, having the status of a unit of local government with varying governmental powers. A public land surveying unit of 36 sections or 36 square miles. Um, I know what a township is.........I grew up living in a township! And I was referring to the tax aspects of townships.......which USUALLY do not have income taxes and minimal property taxes..............less taxes = typical republican ideal (which is, in my opinion and many others', good.........who wants to be burdened with too many taxes?) My blades need not be sharpened ;)

Sounds like a republican idea to me :) LOL But the "river" walkway is actually very pleasant! ;)

^Exactly; can't Ted just be our governor right now?! We need to see what he can do first!!!! :) Ah politics........gotta love 'em..........

Yes, Happy New Year!

There's a nice bridge over I-80/I-90/Indiana Toll Road on the west side of South Bend that really stands out.............kinda out in the middle of nowhere, so you can't miss it! I can't find a pic of it online, sorry....................grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Merry Christmas! Feliz Navidad! Buon Natale! Froehliche Weinachten! Joyeux Noel! Mele Kalikimaka! <--- Hawaiian :) And Happy New Year, too!

Elyria's a nice town......the only thing that bothers me is seeing that ugly transformer-power station from Route 2..........just makes things look grungy......but then again, that is the big-box-store area :)

I dont understand why some people wish to be away from other people LMAO! I have wondered that as well; actually your quote summarizes my father (except he was never a suburanite, just a small-towner). That is why my home is in a township with little over 1,000 people! :-D On the plus side, the nature/scenery is nice where my parents live........and in their lifetime (and probably mine) suburban sprawl is nonexistent and won't be an issue like in such places as Medina and Lorain. But anyway, I just had to laugh as you hit my dad's personality right on the head! :-D LOL

Good news for Lo-rain and the surrounding area..........and I agree wimwar, hopefully these jobs won't be moved from neighboring counties!

I love the southern/southeastern foothills.........very beautiful!!!!

Streetscape project slated to be done in June Toledo Blade, 11/30/06 Downtown Woodville will have a whole new look by June 15. Construction on the village's Downtown Transportation Enhancement Project is to begin in early spring, now that Woodville Village Council has hired Smith Paving & Excavating, Inc. of Norwalk to do the work. Council agreed to pay the company $439,359 to upgrade two blocks of Main Street from Perry Street to Water Street as part of the project that will enhance the downtown's street lighting, sidewalks, and curbs. In addition, more trees will be added, and electrical lines will be moved underground for aesthetic purposes, said Phil Trumbull, vice president of the village's business association. He said sidewalks on the south side of Main will be replaced while sidewalks on the north side will mostly be repaired. Decorative concrete that looks like brick will be installed as a border on all the sidewalks. While the sidewalks are under construction, the above-ground utilities will be buried. "That will get rid of some obnoxious utility poles to clean up the look," Mr. Trumbull said.

Never before has that phrase been uttered, written or conceived. LOL I actually call my car "The Beast"...............it can put up with anything. It's driven through flood waters, weathered golf-ball-sized hail, hit morning doves and squirrels, knocked a mailbox off its post ( :-D), and only has 119,000 miles on it (not too bad for a '91 model). So, in this sentimental guy's heart, my Lumina is a beautiful creature. :wink: :-)

Wow. That is a sad story. Actually, every year, about 3 or 4 people are killed in town, due to the trains. Very dangerous!
