EvilGentleman: 24 - Too many people in Montreal drive like Quebecers, too many people in New York drive like New Yorkers. We should all drive like Italians - Full Speed! LOL, just kidding, they already do that here.

in response to Things I Hate About... Traffic

EvilGentleman: LOL, sometimes I feel like my discussions wind up becoming like US Government legislation, with environmental protection clauses attached to defense spending, etc... But I must say, an interesting little aside there, Jack. :-) (Now that I said this, I wonder what direction we will wind up in next?)

in response to Open if Not Closed

EvilGentleman: Gang violence, an apathetic, uncaring public, and a justice system more concerned with the rights of the defendant than those of the victim, these are all hallmarks of an advanced liberal society. If only Plato and Dekanawitha could see what has become of their beloved legacy of democracy... As far as...

EvilGentleman: My guess is 1968, based on the clothing, hairstyles, and automobiles

in response to London in the 70s

Laura : 20. People who open their car doors (or the doors of cabs) without looking to see if there is a biker coming up behind them. One day I'm gonna get killed!

EvilGentleman: Was that building in Ghostbusters? Looks like the right style... btw, wonderful pics, elicar.

in response to A Rainy Visit in Manhattan

Elicar: Colavito is right. It is the Municipal Building. www.emporis.com/en/il/im/?id=171397 The City Hall is right accross it. It took me awhile to google it. I found old drawings that says Municipal Building, so that's what I googled. Thanks to the both of you anyway. I remember my girlfriend did say to me...

in response to A Rainy Visit in Manhattan

Stranger: Yeah, it's a nice view... but how many people realize that Brimley Road (the road which leads into the bluffs) was actually a landfill site years ago. You would never know that now because of all the trees that have grown.

in response to Last Summer - Bluffer\'s Park

Editor: lol!

in response to What Is This Man Sucking?

EvilGentleman: I remember being shot at when I was stopped at a red light in Cabrini Green back in 1990. Thankfully, they missed. Actually, I have no idea if I was the actual target or not, and I was not about to investigate to find out. Since the streets were deserted,...

in response to Cabrini Green [whats left of it]

danielle: nah, it's a man made railway in New Zealand. It's quite amazing. This fella built this massive railway thru his property, and takes people for tours. He has 2 bridges, and along the track he displays his art work (for sale of course) It's pretty sweet as...quite a feat.

in response to Choo-Choo

danielle: 17. People driving cars with massive amounts of black smoke coming out of their mufflers...which forces the rest of us to roll up our windows on a nice day...really pisses me off.

in response to Choo-Choo

EvilGentleman: So hard to believe I am now able to criticize the driving of others, when back in my teen days, I used to gauge a good driver by how fast he could take a turn, or how far he could jump. I guess I grew up at last. Still wish...

in response to Things I Hate About... Traffic

EvilGentleman: Thanks Laura, you just reminded me of: 14 - Speeders who appear in your rear-view mirror flashing their headlights doing twice the speed limit

in response to Things I Hate About... Traffic

danielle: 14.Now, i don't have ANYTHING against playing some tunes in your car, and rockin' out. HOWEVER...there is such a thing as noise pollution...especially little teenagers in their punked-out Cavaliers, with that bass at 8am...i mean, come on man...it's too early for that shit. (Maybe i'm just too old)

in response to Things I Hate About... Traffic
