This is Times Square in NYC, also referred to as the theatre district. A while back it was really all run down, full of prostitutes and XXX-rated movie houses, but the city invested money into renovating it and it's just spectacular now. Lots of brilliantly lit-up billboards, restaurants, souvenir shops, Broadway shows, and street performers...it is alive and kicking 'round the clock. One of the most exhilirating places I've been, especially on New Years Eve - it's jam packed with people and completely nucking futs! :D

[Brian Damage]

Times Square is great, but come to think of it, everything is great in N.Y. ;)

Cool, thanks!!

I bet you feel sooooooo cool now Chris dont ya? You and your mountains. /\/\^/\^/\/\

[Fleet]

You're welcome. :)

You know, I can't imagine what a 231 mph. wind would feel like. It would probably blow anyone off the mountain! If anyone was up there on that day, they ended up in Iowa or somewhere in the great plains.

Speaking of mountains, I finally climbed a mountain peak behind my house (but it's only 2,771 feet high). I've been looking at it since 1966 when my parents moved into this area, but never climbed it until Dec., 2002. What a view from the top; someday I'll post the pics I took. On a clear day, you can see the ocean (it was not that clear on the day I hiked).

I agree one of my friends went on an FFA trip and said that the Nebraska people were some of the nicest people there because they would wave at ya and say hi when they walked by and stuff like that. Another cool thing in Nebraska we'll it's one of my favorite things is Smith falls along the Niobrara river that is so beautiful to see and the Henry Doorly Zoo is a cool place to go it has the largest indoor desert in the world.
