And here is where the shop is located! The Ville baby!
Bethlehem, PA:
Main Street: Tons of "quaint" shops. I don't frequent the downtown area so I really don't know what is there.
Main Street at Christmas:
They give horse and buggy rides during the Christmas season:
We have many historic buildings too. I posted in the Wikipedia thread about where you live. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethlehem,_Pennsylvania
Home to Just Born: Maker of the Peeps, Mike and Ike's, etc.
And then we have this:
It brings tons of people from all over the world. Why? I have no idea. :shrug: Some locals may make a stop at the stupid festival but most stay away. Parking is an absolute nightmare too.
LauraSVT may enjoy a few featured acts:
http://www.musikfest.org/lineup/2008.asp
Jethro Tull, .38 Special, Poison, STP, Dennis DeYoung (from Styx for those that don't know) and Boston will all be making an appearance.
Me, I may hit up the Poison show. OK, probably not, I hate that damned festival. I'll try to catch the show on TV.
For you Jared (LauraSVT)... I do like Jethro Tull, .38 Special and Boston but I was never a big Styx fan.
I was a big hair band/metal type of chick in the 80's. Still into the metal.
One last shot. Since it was requested to have a Contour in a picture....
That was taken at the now closed Bethlehem Steel. They're in the process of making that area into a casino, building a hotel and shops. It's my understanding that those blast furnace stacks will remain. They will preserve some of the other buildings and will also have a Bethlehem Steel Museum.

New house, 2007-current, Brooklyn Park, MN. In the heart of the ghetto:nonono:
Your f'nnn crazy i would give my left nut to have a house like that. I mean who needs a left nut anyway when you got the right nut.
Luca, you'd probably appreciate this, with your musikfest..
Austin is home of the South By Southwest film and music festival. Also referred to as "SXSW".
I had to drive the celebrities, directors, actors, etc for that event. The most tiring job I've ever had, including working offshore. But, I got to rub elbows and atend VIP only performances, signings, and parties. so that was cool.
I just figured you'd enjoy it.. unless you could care less about the musikfest in the first place.

I wish I could go to SXSW, hell musikfest sounds pretty good too.
Not to insult you, but... stealing your 'girl' friend doesn't make him any less gay... AFAIK all Emo's are the same sex... feminine men.
yeah dude, im super pissed... I couldn't get my hair to do that flippy thing.

My truck on a road just outside the city
Mean Green parked in the field beside Sask Place (stadium here)
My ZX3 parked at Sask Place
My Focus parked at the park overlooking the South Saskatchewan River at the edge of the city
Parked about 30 feet down the road from my appartment complex, I live right beside one of the nicest parks in the city
My old Focus parked on a road going through my Dad's old farm
At my Dad's gravel pit, it has expanded alot since this shot, the loader in the background is two stories tall, the Focus fits in the shovel
Purple people beater in October, no snow yet but all the trees have lost thier leaves
The Micra, also parked in the park beside my place

They are TD Monzas in 18x8" with 215/35R18s
I hate Musikfest and so do most of the locals.
Traffic jams, no where to park (non issue for me since I live about three miles north), trash, fights, underage drinking, DUI's and the list goes on. Basically, you stay away from that side of town during those days. Hell, the people that live in that area either take vacation and leave town or they take vacation and stay home. If they take their car out of it's parking spot they won't get one even remotely close to their house when they get home.
Now driving VIP's around, that sounds cool.
More tiring than working offshore? Wow! That sounded exhausting to me, staying up for 24 hours, etc.
The parties and signings sound like fun though.

A pretty typical summer sunset
Then a road about an hour north of me, very near CEG'r rkneeshaw
A formerly abandoned, now being renovated mental hospital in my town
Then just a shot in my driveway test fitting my cf eyelids
