Pictures of a sleeper car roomette

Image
Originally wrote this post in December 2006. These photographs were taken at the end of a vacation this time to Dallas, TX on board Amtrak's "Texas Eagle". This trip was definitely notable in that this was the first time I had ever rode in a sleeper car (i.e. first class). You may want to know how much this costs. Basically you have to pay an accommodation fee in addition to a coach seat fare. And the final price depends on when you purchase a ticket or when you make a reservation. It may be expensive if you're planning your trip say a month or so in advance but the closer to the trip you get the cheaper a sleeper room will be. I am talking about first class after all. In any case, you may be able to buy a ticket and start with a coach fare but say if you give them your contact info and/or if you ask, they'll allow you to change your accommodations before your trip. In addition to that if you're already on the train you can change your accommodations wh...

Somewhere along Michigan Avenue in Roseland

Today I decided to stroll through the Roseland community walking along Michigan Avenue. I knew tha t a candidate for Alderman opened his campaign office nearby. I had other things I wanted to do so I didn't go inside for the grand opening. However you see there's a classic car out front since that is one of his interests.

The first multimedia message

Back in March 2007, I owned a Motorola Razr phone and took this snapshot of the campus of Morehouse College around that time. It was the first mobile photograph I ever posted to the internet. Below was written around that time. So this is going to be a first. I got me a new phone over the weekend and this means that I'm going to start posting pictures here from my camera phone. Neat huh. Hopefully they'll be of interest and if not well this is just new content isn't it. I'm going to have fun and I hope you enjoy. BTW, this picture is on Fair Street. The tower is on a dorm, Graves Hall on the campus of Morehouse College. It's a Freshman dorm with a lot of history and nicely designed too.

This is officially a mobile blog

I probably won't only show pics taken from my mobile phone. It will show many different things, but if I have a snapshot or an instagram it will be show here. I've uploaded some past posts here too so expect them to be shown here at some point in the future. May even start today!
