I once heard that the best way to get a point across, is to get them laughing, and then to hit 'em with the punch line.[:)]
Anyway, thanks for the laugh everybody!

Today I went down and took some pictures of the Rock Island Depot and the unfinished building for the Clinton Library. They had a sign showing how the finished library would look. The depot is shown on the sign so I truly believe it will be saved and used somehow in connection with the libray. When the pictures are ready I will email them to anyone interested, just drop me an email and I will send them to you.

This does not have anything to do with trains, transportation yes, trains no. I took Duchess Von Levy (my Doberman) to Petsmart today and on the way I saw a motorcycle doing a wheelie on the interstate. I don't know how long he held it up but he had the front tire way up. I could only glance at it quickly but man oh man was he asking for trouble. He did it around McCain Mall which is probally the busiest area of our town. There was an entrance from a side road onto the interestate about 1/4 mile from where he was doing it. The road also splits having a lane headed to Memphis and two going towards Little Rock. It was something else to see, and could have been a really bad accident if ... well you know.

Also I have been wanting to add this somewhere so I guess I will put it here. The old Rock Island Passenger Station is a majestic looking brick building that once housed a restaurant and offices. It sits right next to the Arkansas River and the Rock Island Railroad Bridge (not used by any railroad) comes across the river right up to the old station. This is the site for the Clinton Presidential Library. The station will be used (to my knowledge) somehow in connection with the Library. They are building a new building behind it but as far as I have heard the station will be saved. The railroad bridge is going to be used as a lookout platform and maybe a walkway from North Little Rock to Little Rock. I am not sure if all of that has been worked out. That is the good news. Now for the bad news. They were tearing down an old warehouse in the area to make room for the library and discovered another old railroad structure (building). Few, if any, knew it was there. It was inside the warehouse building. There was a small bit of legal maneuvering to save it but it failed and the structure was razed. I am like Alex (Alaskaman) and Mitchell (Sask_Tinplater) I just hate to see railroad equipment, buildings, or artifacts scrapped or destroyed. They are a piece of history and when destroyed are gone forever. I just hate that [V]
