That's the ONLY explanation for the 5ft onramps, on a curve, at some entrances!!!<br /><br />I do strongly suspect the plant was there first, otherwise the fwy would not wind around as it does, nor would the railroad tracks wind as they do. As a child I used to REALLY enjoy seeing the fountain lit up at night!Trishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37900702.post-58577347134342511832009-05-18T21:44:00.000-07:002009-05-18T21:44:00.000-07:00Cafe, you may be on to something there!

That's my high school right next to the power plant, which, if I'm not mistaken, is a historic monument, so it's probably even older.sjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722064514085502251noreply@blogger.com
