Re: Where Is It?

The Capital of South Australia is Adelaide. Adelaide being the name of the street on top of that pretty concrete. What are the odds the concrete still looks like that? It depends... without me getting out a map, is this along the DCON or the greenway? It's along the greenway, about a 1/2 mile south...

Re: New connection near Vermilion

I am from Michigan, so I'm not exactly up this location. Looking at the Google maps image it does appear the connection in question is complete.

Re: Where Is It?

3rd Ave, just north of Manchester Parkway.... Any idea what was here originally?? Those apts. look fairly new and sorta out of place as it looks like a pretty gritty industrial area off the Detroit Terminal RR I thought it was interesting too.
