Next Stop



The light rail will be passing over the Black Canyon Freeway at Mountain View just north of here at coffee presently. Will be a mess commencing in near future, I believe. Looked it up on the Valley Metro site several months ago but have forgotten the details - the question here... take the time to pull it up? OK. Will be a while. The extension out to Glendale's municipal complex will be worser. Don't know whether the public hearings are over with regard to using Bethany Home Road or Glendale Avenue; whatever, major inconvenience. Why they don't continue west on Camelback to Grand Canyon University corridor and then up Grand Avenue beyond me. 

And then there's what in 'downtown' Glendale. Used to be a destination but the crunch of the vaporous mortgage crisis devastated small businesses like the closely held antique and knick-knack shops, to say nothing of Bitzee Mama's, which is still going but, I mean like, who goes there beside the city employees and local merchants? They drive through the breakfast burrito purveyors just about automatically.

Here they've got this here photo of Grand Central Station. I wonder how many people, sitting under, passing by, paying the tab, know what they're looking at if indeed they have a care. There's other aspects of the interior but, frankly, who's got the time?
