We're taking a short break today

Another day of waiting 3 years ago. Meh - even less to talk about with each day of waiting. But the wait wont be long - come tomorrow, everything kicks into overdrive.

So anyway, Welcome to October people! 69 degrees, overcast, drizzly nasty stuff. Yep - halloween must be right around the corner. Of course, I'd take this over the 90+ heat we were having. Then again, anything over 80 and I start getting cranky.

I just wanted to show you all something.

If anyone can tell me what this photo is of, I'll give you a brass filligree with bronze leaf.

And one more photo.

You know, maybe having the sign down is not the worst idea. It would be a hell of a conversation piece. If you could find a blank wall somewhere in town, or even maybe stick it in Elmwood Park, at ground level - and let it be lit. Be a novelty anyway.

So welcome to my day off from the BST, I'll be back with more later.

I'll bite. Overlooking the place behind Crystal Spring/Roanoke Memorial where the railway/trolley went up the mountain?

Bingo - its from the top down. If you know where the loop road on Mill Moutain is at the top - but go to the left instead of the right - you come across this spot.

Better than just finding the old incline? Finding there are still structures there. Those photos coming soon.

Oh cool! I've always been fascinated with the incline. My kids used to argue with me that it never existed. I was glad when I found pictures of it.

Brass filigree, eh? :D
