Post A Picture of Anything Thread II

A mural on Pearl Street in Hartford, CT and some place called Boston coming into view.

 

Wells, Maine and heading into Portland, Maine.

 

Outside of Hadlock Field (AA-Boston Red Sox). Park Avenue in Portland, Maine.

 

Looking east towards Maine Medical Center and then a children's museum on Thompson's Point in Portland, Maine.

 

Both from I-95 South: Leaving Maine on the Piscataqua River Bridge (really hurts going this way), then the recently built Whittier Bridge on the Merrimack River in northeastern Massachusetts.

 

Boston: TD Garden from I-93 South and (barely) the Chinatown Arch off of Kneeland Street.

 

South Station and a new tower which will slowly ruin the skyline.

 

Nice snowy forest with the local black hole sun in the background

 

Is the NH state owned liquor store in the I95 median between NH and Mass still there? I made that trip back in 1976.

 

It's in Hampton, NH, south of the I-95 toll plaza. Yes, they're still there on both sides.

 

That was one of those trips from or to hell. I was with a geologist and we were going to the White Mtn NF in Laconia, NH. We picked up a rental at Logan and just after we passed the liquor store the car blew a tire. It was when the remnants of a hurricane was going up the coast and we had put on a very feeble spare in the storm along I 95. Scary. So the next day we left the vehicle at a service station in Conway to get the tire repaired and rode up to a NF district in Maine with a Forest Service employee. We returned that night only find the tire hadn’t been fixed because the power had been out all day because of the storm. Shit.

 

Never saw an Easter tree before! This was at a Burger King in Springfield, MA.

 

What is up with that building directly above the trusses of that bridge? Looks like there is a whole chunk missing

 

"This is the city. Los Angeles, California. Nearly four million people live here. Every month, more crowd in.
Tourists spend over a billion dollars a year in Southern California. It’s a big business. Anything you’re looking for, Los Angeles has it. If it’s for sale, you can buy it.
Some people don’t bother bringing money. They do their shopping illegally. When they do, that's when I go to work". ... (Dun Dun Dun Dun...)

 

Are you a LEO in the LA area?

 

No. When I was younger, I was a fan of Dragnet and Adam-12, and as a teen I was with the LAPD Explorers instead of Boy Scouts. Grew up in the San Fernando Valley.

 

I enjoyed Dragnet and Adam-12 too. Hill Street Blues and Barney Miller were also good.

 

I like Art Deco. I always thought LA's City Hall building was really cool looking.

 

Had a crush on Veronica Hamel for a while. Gorgeous lady. I also had the honor of meeting both Abe Vigoda and Hal Linden. Beautiful people, both of them, sat and chatted with them most of the flight from JFK to LAX.

 

Very cool!
