Helping you experience our trip (Part II)

Continuing our picture tour:
This is one of my favorite pictures we got a hold of. Its a pretty awesome shot. You can see the multiple views. Looking at the roof now, something that we missed before, is the work on the outdoor movie screen? I can't tell. I wish we could get up there.


Self explanatory sign. We liked it.


A picture of Xanadu and possibly a parking garage?


More Jonas Brothers/Miley Cyrus fans enjoying the music of, well, we're not sure because we didn't care and why bother walking all the way over there through a crowd of screaming 12 year old girls.


I picture under the snow dome. Our best guess is that this part will be parking.

Helping you experience our trip (Part I)

Through pictures. Enjoy:

This is our first sighting of the landscape. The excitement was tangible.


A view from the road of the IZOD center. Our interview with security guard Whitney taught us that the future of the IZOD center was still up for debate. Some sides say keep it for concerts and large events. Others say tear it down. On the way home we debated what should replace it if it is in fact torn down. We couldn't come up with much. What doesn't it already have? I think my stance is that they should keep it for bigger concerts and major events. If they come up with an awesome replacement idea though, I'd reconsider.

Our fellow Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus fans. Helped us blend in a little and gave us a good excuse to be there. Plus we got to see a clown get owned in the dunk tank. Oh and $8.50 for a burger! Back in my day you get a burger for a nickel and you would still have enough change left over for trip to the malt shop. Kids these days with their music and hair and MC Hammer. DAMN YOU KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!

I wish we could get inside to see what is really here. Our best guess is the end of the snow dome and beginning of the sports district. Or possible the sports district is on the other side and we don't yet know what this is.

It was certainly tempting to go in there, but we decided to hold off. It was just under the snow dome so I don't think we missed much.

More to come!

Snow Dome Progress

On our trip today we got some great shots and info of the snow dome's progress. Here are a few pictures we got:

That picture gives a nice view of the snow dome. Its pretty high for an indoor place. So majestic.


The snow dome from the side. This picture is taken from the top of a four story parking garage so the dome is higher than it looks. Like how the sun comes down, its holy isn't it.



Thats the closest to the inside we could get (not that we didn't try).

According to security guard Whitney, the snow dome will be kept at 28 degrees year round. Awesome.
