i posted this photo a couple of weeks back, but the place i got it from didn't describe where it was. i wonder how much that piece of property is worth. looks lovely - Cee Bee
yeah... now we have a stronger dollar, both islands and the better side of the falls - Stewart Rogers
Wikipedia denies it: A popular tale among local guides is that the bigger part of Zavikon is in Canada, while the smaller part is in the United States, and the foot bridge between them is the "shortest international bridge in the world". However, this is not true as both islands are Canadian Territory. So, Citation needed :) - Nikhil Dandekar
Great example Ross, I'm so stoked for this terminal! - D rek
Me too! It is definitely going to change the SF skyline... should be exciting! - Ross Miller
And with it being the endpoint of the California bullet train, this place really might become SF's Grand Central Station. It's almost a shame that they no longer have train tracks on the lower deck of the Bay Bridge. (Yep, until 1963 when they turned the lower deck into more car lanes.) - Kevin Fox
Whoa. Our office is adjacent to that. So are some huge new fancy condo towers that are going up. Quite a revitalization of downtown SF. - DeWitt Clinton
Haha... He must have missed it... It's pretty cool though... FriendFeed is going to the midnight showing of Dark Knight tonight... can't wait! - Ross Miller
Hmn... sounds like if you wake up to coffee and white bread and eat baked beans with a Guinness and glass of red wine for dinner you'll be healthy as can be... - Ross Miller
@Ross...I think I have failed you in the nutritional knowledge dept. - Skye Miller
In other words...your suggestion above is a nutritional fail! - Skye Miller
Coming to a Hot Topic near you. Better wear Sunscreen with that. Absolutely useless in public for 3-9 months out of the year depending on where you live. - Jacob
"...and in the future, people pay good money for clothes with holes cut in them!" - Karim
Karim, don't you remember the stupid pre-torn jeans you could buy for $100 back in the 90s? - Tad Donaghe
Those are kinda cool, but will probably only survive washing maybe once?? In the close-up on the site it doesn't look like the edges are finished in any way. - Shannon Jiménez
I saw a young woman in the DB ticket station with these. They looked kind of funny, but they looked good on her (she had a body that could show them off) --- and yes, the holes were in the front. - Piaw Na
"This dork, James, however, is someone neither of us speak to. Why bother? Look at him. Lights are on, but no one is home, as our friend Ethan says." - Jim Norris via Bookmarklet
@Jini: 2020. The system should be in service in 2020, and become "commercially self-sustainable" in 2030, when it would cross 100M passengers/year. From the text of proposition 1 (which you should vote for in November): "At a minimum, the entire 700-mile system described in the
High-Speed Rail Authority’s Business Plan should be constructed and
in revenue service by 2020." See http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/... - Tudor Bosman
Construction should start in 2010, and 10 years to build a California-wide train system is a long time, but not unreasonable. Of course, judging by how long it took for BART service to be extended to the San Francisco airport after the project was approved, I'd say 2050 is a more realistic opening date... - Tudor Bosman
I'd pay extra to not have to go through Fresno. - Jim Norris
Sonoma County votes "Yes", Marin County votes "No". Marin is delaying me from accessing SF via smart public transport. Get your "Yes" vote on, Marin! - Andrew Meyer
i just really like the site! great visualization at work here. - Nice Fish Films
Nothing good ever starts from Fresno. - Steve Craft
Nope, not kidding...it's in Folsom actually. My parents are coming up Saturday to look at it. I'll have them bring their camera and we'll post some pics. It's not finalized yet so I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but I am excited about it!!! - Emily Miller
Wow!! Good luck!! I hope we can have a party in a new house soon! :) - Erick Jimenez
