Are you sure it's a typo? It's pretty accurate, actually...

That new metro train in Portland sounds cool. Seattle had a new one called the "SLUT." But Seattle transportation had to rename it quickly. When I was there in June with my youngest sister and her husband, they told me about the new metro in their area. I did get to see it and it looks like the Metro line we have out here.

Portland was 2 hours from where I lived. I lived in Corvallis. That was 20 miles north of Eugene. My dad worked at Walchain in Albany. We would always have fun when going pass that paper mill. The most boring place to take a family was to The Enchanted Forest. I know think about it and I thought it was cheasier than Hobby City near Knott's Berry Farm. Hobby City has the smallest theme park and it is falling apart. One of these days they should bull doze this place out of here. :D:

Yeah, a new monorail to and from MCO and the TTC would be the best idea yet!!!

I am sure the bus company would be a little upset.

The San Francisco area has the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system. Fresno wants to put in something similar.

It is. The 5/99 Split is about 150 miles south of Fresno, and 35 miles or so south of Bakersfield.

For a preview, google on Houston's "Wham Bam Tram".
