Cities

Miscellaneous pictures of Chicago, the sorts of pictures you get when you keep a cheap 35mm in your glove box.

Cincinnati (aka Porkopolis) is an okay place. I was there for a class one week in downtown Cincinnati in the Hilton, right across the street from Fountain Square.

I have bad memories of Dayton, mostly due to the fact I spent months there on a job. Actually, a couple of jobs, plus a bunch of side trips since the place was the headquarters for the corporation.

I was there once for 30 days, and the sun only came out once. Remember that character in Lil' Abner that always had a rain cloud over his head? That's Dayton.

Surprisingly, I have few pictures for the amount of time I was there. The link will take you to the Ohio State Page.

I vacationed in Florida a lot. Mostly to the Theme Parks, but there were trips to various Gulf beaches associated with those trips. I found myself maintaining 4 very small pages of some of those trips. A pain. With the version 5 update, I took all five Florida Gulf Cities I had pictures of, and combined them to a single page...

Those cities are: Pensacola Beach, Siesta Key, Marcos Island, Key West and Venice.

I was following the Gulf Coast on my way to San Antonio, and took a drive through Galveston. It was the first barrier island I had driven, and I can see how a hurricane could impact the island. You can tell the place still hasn't fully recovered.

If you're in Glenwood Springs and you want to pay your respects to one of the quasi-legendary gunfighters of the Wild West, prepare to walk up a few switchbacks. But hey, a visit to Doc Holliday's resting place in the Linwood Cemetery was pretty cool.

This link will take you to the Colorado State Page.

I was breaking in my new car in 1996, so I did a road trip down a part of the River Road in Illinois and Missouri, and stopped in at Hannibal.

I actually stumbled across Nauvoo on the same trip I stumbled across Hannibal, breaking in my new car when driving across Illinois to the Mississippi River. I found it an interesting place to visit.

I went to New Orleans in 2002 to make sure I saw the city before the inevitable catastrophe occurred.

I did all sorts of tourist things, a steam-paddleboat tour, a swamp tour, rode the trolleys, visited the site of a pre-civil war fort, toured the grounds of the Battle of New Orleans...

I was in San Antonio twice, both times for a computer security conference. One time it was in the Marriot, the other time in the Hyatt, both off the Riverwalk Area.

But I probably spent more of my free time visiting the San Antonio Missions than I did in San Antonio...

Tombstone has some real cred as a Wild West town, and they've tried to keep some of that reputation alive.

I didn't bother with the OK Corral reenactment, but I did visit the courthouse and the Birdcage Theater...
