The monorail was in the basement of Leonards, and for me, at least, Christmas wasn't Christmas without a ride on it.

Looks like only a marginal increase in seating capacity. What'll they do if Trent Johnson manages to make basketball actually catch on at TCU?

Does anyone know if any consideration has been paid to making the new bridge bat-friendly?

These "frakes" (quakes due to fracking), as I like to call them, are but minor jigglers compared with the ones Mother Nature occasionally lets off on the Ring of Fire, where I live.

I have to agree; Farrington's the best site. Most of the infrastructure is already there, the stadium needs the sort of reforbishing AGC Stadium got, and the location can't be beaten.

Ideas and Suggestions for Projects
From what I've seen of the AGC renovation, they did a good job of keeping the original Art Deco look while modernizing the facility. That's what you'd have to do with Farrington, aside from removing the track; and it wouldn't come cheap. But, with some ISD's spnding up to $67 million on a football stadium, you might just be able to sell the idea.

One thing I've noticed about the new upgrade is that it does not automatically readjust to fit the screen if the screen zoom size is greater than 150%; indeed, even at 150%, a little shifting from left to right is needed to bring the text portion of posts into full fiew. I don't know if anything can be done to fix this.

Looks like the forum's virus-free now. It's taken a bit to get used to the new look, but I like it.

As a native Southern Californian now living in Texas, I have to ask - why would anyone actually choose to live in Cali. Southern or otherwise?
We've got better weather, by far.

Just be happy y'all get nothing but little jigglers from all the fracking. Pardon my saying it (as a native Texan, now living in southern California), but they don't build for major quakes in Texas, and a six-pointer would do considerable damage anywhere in the state.

I lived in Ridglea (3904 Floyd Drive) 1956-67; wonder what's become of the place.
