I was in NYC in 1985 for my high school Senior Class trip. As an 18-yr old, I paid absolutely no attention to where things were in relationship to each other; we just went where we were told to go! So, this may be a silly question to all of you natives out there, but where does Penn Station...

I'm not sure the added cost of the Acela is worth it for a short trip to Washington, but would definitely consider it if I headed to New York; thanks for the tip about traveling on Saturday. I was planning it for Saturday anyway, since Sunday is Easter. By 'both places', I meant either...

I am in the Baltimore area through the middle of next week, working, and found out I will have the weekend off. Since I'm this close, I am thinking of a day-trip somewhere. I've been to both places, 25+ years ago. All you locals, are there any special events going on in either one, that will...

Have you (or anyone) ever gotten points from a Priceline hotel purchase? I've booked flights with Priceline before, and it states that the segments flown are not eligible for frequent flyer miles (and I didn't get them despite showing them my frequent flier card); I was curious whether or not...

Didn't see any lockers. I will admit though, I just ran through during my lunch today. I will take a better look for you when a little bit more time allows it.

No lockers the last time I was there, but I am headed downtown St Louis this weekend, and will stop by the station and check.

I was wondering what had happened. I was downtown (celebrating the Cardinals World Series win last night :D ), and I saw it roll into the station about noon.

I am spending a couple of days in California next month, and since I will have a free day, I am taking a (very) short day trip. The plan is to depart from Santa Ana, and travel down to San Diego for the day, and then back up to Santa Ana. I am trying to find a little information about both of...

I think it is a trestle on the Empire Builder route. I can't remember for sure where, but I think it is west of the Glacier National Park station, right east of the Essex station. If that is what it is, it is where the train crosses the Flathead River. I don't really know, I'm just taking a...

Thanks. I don't know why I didn't think of that myself. Been a long week I guess....

I am potentially planning a trip to Bloomington/Normal in November to watch my Northern Iowa Panthers play the Illinois State Redbirds in football. I can easily catch the train here in St Louis for the trip up to Bloomington. However, I know nothing about the area, and am hoping that someone...

I second that! I lived in Vegas for three years, and it was, well, not so much fun! I was just there this week too, and it hasn't gotten any better...LOL! I travel all over the country for work, and every large metropolitan area has their share of bad drivers, but I think eventually, they...

I've overnighted at the Days Inn also, and I really wasn't all that concerned. I'm a single female traveler, but I travel a great deal with my job, to a great deal of locations (some good, some not so good) so a hotel in a sketchy area I guess doesn't bother me. Of course, once I got into the...

There's a Days Inn hotel about three blocks away (Days Inn St Paul Minneapolis Midway). They have a shuttle that will come pick them up, as well as plenty of cabs when the trains arrive. It may not be the best hotel, but it was definitely adequate for the one night stay I did there 2-3 years...

Mine shows me at 100%! I wonder what I did that you are all missing. I need to check my account tonight for some missing points, so I'll have to take a look at that too. Maybe I'm just special.. ***edit*** I checked my profile just now, and I have no blanks anywhere, three phone numbers...

In January, I celebrated the 5th anniversary of my 39th birthday. Or, my 15th anniversary of my 29th. That one sounds a little bit better, so I'll go with that.

Steam Engine UP 844 passed through Kirkwood today, and is overnighting in St Louis tonight, on its way to Little Rock (here is a link about the engine: UP 844). Union Pacific held a contest, 'Great Excursion Adventure, You Route the Steam', and the route that was chosen was the Little Rock...

I work for a company based in Australia, but has offices in the US, Japan, India, Mexico, England, New Zealand, and probably a couple of other countries that I can't remember. We each get the holidays for our specific country. But, on top of that, many of us work in different states, so we...

There are several pictures and videos of the storm, and the aftermath. Check on youtube, or just do a google search for '2011 St Louis tornado', and you should get multiple sites. If you would like some specific links, PM me, and I'll send you a few.

Yep, they showed the first plane flying back in tonight. Open tonight for arrivals only, tomorrow for arrivals and departures. It appears that the main terminal, concourse C, will be closed for a LONG time, as that is where the majority of the damage was. The airlines that arrive and depart...
