Hey LowKat, I'm givin' up posting for a few days. Heading out toward your area in the morning - well maybe a few hundred miles north (Vancouver/Whistler) - looking for BigFoot & maybe some fishing.
Hope to have some pics next week BTW, Great additions to the thread tonight!

 

could this possibly be 45the street (Manhattan) right between the entrance to the Helmsley building and the entrance to the Pan Am (MetLife) building (not built yet in this shot)? as soon as i saw it i felt like i recognized it, i walk up that block every weekday.

 

I was going to post some more but go ahead and jump in if you want. The more the merrier.
