No maps down here, only satellite. Looks a little brown as this picture is a couple of years old and we were right in the middle of a summer drought. That’s Australia if you can’t work out why the cars on on the wrong side of the road 😃 ---

> [@Mr Bus Guy](#): > > There’s a school bus company on Glenwood/Chicago Hts right next to the nursery there. I ran that place for three years before I came where I am now. > > Flossmoor huh? We did some work in there while I was there for the school district. That retaurant still there in the train station? Yep-Flossmoor Station–they are adding on. I know the people who own it, slightly. I like their restaurant and all, but they are ruthless folk. They closed down a really nice straight from Mayberry lunch place (kids went there for hot dogs and the like-NOT upscale food by any stretch–more a snack bar kind of place) because they were the landlords of the property and they thought that it was taking business away from their lunch traffic. The two clientele were completely different. Irritated me (I like to support local when I can). Oh, well. I know exactly where you spent your time! I believe those are the very buses that take my 3 kids to 3 different schools locally. Halsted around there is getting very built up. Glenwood school for boys sold alot of their Halsted frontage-there’s a Walmart there and a church, too. oops-sorry for hijack. ---

It’s a general aviation facility, so noise from planes usually isn’t bad. But the city’s police and fire department helicopters are based there, as are the helicopters owned by local TV stations, and noise from them can occasionally be bad. But it’s a central location within the city, which can be very handy. I can get to five different freeways/highways after driving just a few minutes on surface streets. ---

> [@Mr Bus Guy](#): > > And you two **Dorjan** and **elmwood** …The Bus Kid’s in Berea right now, sweating through a final. Would ya consider dropping by with a caramel macchiato for her? Even though I’m relatively new to Northeast Ohio, I’m sccumbing to one social geographical quirk of the region: the East Side/West Side divide. I live in an East Side suburb. Berea is on the West Side. Even though it’s not _that_ far away as the crow flies, in the mind of an East Sider, Berea, Westlake, Rocky River or any of the other West Side suburbs might as well be outside of Toledo. For a fellow Doper, though, sure. 🙂 ---

> [@elmwood](#): > > [So, which month are you?](http://flickr.com/photos/jmgiordano/page2/) 😃 Jesus, that’s so pathetic. People in the city make so much fun of people from Dundalk - and might I add, with good reason. Big hair, bad teeth, blonde hair with black eyebrows, and Nascar shirts seem to be the order of things around here. We’ve been here two years, and won’t spend another one here. I believe I should just add where I used to live. [Canmore, Alberta](http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Canmore,+Alberta&spn=0.047431,0.163078&t=k&hl=en). Green and beautiful, in the Rocky Mountains.
