Farewell to a Tunnel

This is surprisingly poignant.  The tunnel is closed and a new one will be built right next to it.

That is kind of eerie, it’s like a ghost town. I love the look of the wall art in the tunnel, I hope the new one retains the charcter. Thanks for sharing this vid.

I know that the wall art is being saved.  Also, RTD thoroughly photographed the tunnel.  Furthermore, large parts of the tunnel are being saved - the signs, for example.

My mil went to a wedding last night and the bride and groom gave some of there guest a rose each and they formed a tunnel holding the single rose up in the air, it seems like a cute idea, has anyone else done this before? and how much would it cost to buy 200 sinlge roses?Sound Proofing |Soundproofing

Today I was feeling quite nostalgic as I walked through the pedestrian tunnel under Denver Union Station for the last time. I go through this every time I go to or from work on the light rail. It is being permanently closed on Feb 1 as part of the redevelopment of the station. While there are just two Amtrak trains that stop there each day now, one going east and one going west, the signs through the tunnel are a reminder of how the station used to be a major transportation hub. And the good news is that it will be an exciting and thriving place again with the redevelopment that they have plannedreal estate contract |real estate contracts

This is a tragedy. There is no good reason RTD’s Airport train and the Gold line couldn’t use this tunnel and the current platforms. Obviously they are in perfectly good shape. Instead they want to waste money to rip it all out and replace it with an ugly box, that will never fit in with the historic character of the station. It’s no wonder that RTD is in its current financial state. cafepress coupon code | cafepress coupon

From the new light-rail platform, travelers can get to Union Station by walking underground through the bus terminal or by walking at ground level along a newly constructed and landscaped 17th Street above the bus depot. Three sets of escalators and elevators will convey passengers from the underground station to 17th Street.cafepress coupon code | cafepress coupon | cafepress promo code

I heard about the tunnel closure a while ago. The video is quite good and makes me feel sad and nostalgic. They chose the right music for the video. Really fits.  Guitar Lessons in San Fernando Valley, Piano Lessons in Studio City

Carpel tunnel is a narrow passageway found in your wrist. In this passageway, you will find the median nerve and nine tendons, which offers you the ability to feel. When you continuously type in computers for a long time, your carpel tunnel tandons swell and compress therby causing damage to the median nerve.

The operator was desperate for a cuppa and was awaiting the light. As soon as he saw it he pressed for the bucket to come down and my dad was suddenly left like a dead weight against it’s side as the bucket disappeared into the fog. His colleagues tried desperately to haul him up but is was 17 stones and he was unable to get enough purchase on the side to get up. Eventually he fell and thought he was a dead man but he dropped “thirty or forty” feet and landed in the bucket. I believe things got a little heated at the bottom.Online Reputation Management

My dad worked on the building of these towers and I was taken up as a lad to see the view when they were close to completion. They were using an open air “bucket lift” that ran on a track up the side of the tower. It could only be operated from the bottom so you needed someone on hand to see you out at the top to return the bucket. One very foggy morning, my Dad went up with a couple of others and they were quickly out of sight of the operator at the base.affordable seo services

As reported by the local papers in the past couple of weeks about sealing off the tunnel, it housed a lot for the paranormal investigator. It is unfortunate some folks that visited the tunnel did not go there for its vast history or to go and admire the craftsmanship of the tunnel. They went there to party. Drinking, taking drugs, and spray painting the walls and trashing the place by setting fires on the old board walk that used to hold the old rails that went through the tunnel, as well as having campfires just outside of the tunnel and leaving trash after they had their parties.

At first I wondered if it was a scam, but decided it seemed genuine and I went ahead and filled out the application, though it was a couple of days after the deadline so I wasn’t sure if I’d missed my chance. That was 5 or 6 weeks ago so I hadn’t given any more thought to it, so it was rather nice surprise to find this today! And I’m quite honored to be on Google’s list of worthy recipients! Will have to hope it’s not a Trojan Horse that lets Ed Parsons monitor my every movePenis Enhancement| Bigger Penis
