  5. A little more back on topic... ...what is really sad is the number of grand movie theaters that have fallen into disrepair as a result of these cities going sour. Even in smaller northern/central California towns, there are beautiful Spanish Colonial or quasi-Moorish movie houses in their small downtowns that are shuttered or have a less than optimal use. They all look "tall enough" to have a balcony...something you will never see in a new movie theater...and their detailing is something from an era gone by. This saddens me. I think the last vibrant icon of this era (that I'm aware of) is the Fox Westwood Village in the area right around UCLA. This is an incredible movie house and I saw a James Bond movie there once shortly after it was released! It has a balcony.

  9. I remember that, for a U of I studio project, we had to go to St. Louis. My verdict: East St. Louis - NO (we were driving around there because the project focused on redevelopment and were urged to leave by some locals who seemed to be cautioning us) Lake St. Louis - YES (very nice suburb to the west) "The Hill" - DEFINITELY (it's their "Little Italy"...and there is some good food to be had)
  10. I was just going to ask you where you were. So, if you had to pick, do you like Phoenix or Denver better? You can only pick just one. Back to OP...I didn't know Saint Louis and Cleveland were coming back. They have decent suburbs, I hear. I've been to some St. Louis suburbs, but never to the Cleveland area. Yes, some of those towns like Flint seem to be God-forsaken. I know Pittsburgh has indeed come back. So many QOL surveys indicate this. The only problem is that I'm not crazy about cold weather and a gray winter. Interestingly enough, places like Charlotte and Atlanta are feeling the pinch right now. These were veritable engines. I'm sure they will come back. However, for now, their previous unbridled optimism (and overbuilding) is causing them some pain.

  13. I'm thinking it's because your population is largely concentrated in Calgary and Edmonton, and that the whole province numbers 3 to 4 million (w/o looking it up). Even then, Calgary and Edmonton feel fairly "spacious." I wonder if they test emissions in Ontario (specifically Toronto). I'm only torqued about the Nox component. Evidently, a lot of cars run higher in this area. On the other components (seemingly common to all states), it runs super clean. This causes me to shake my head. At any rate, I only see my car going through one more emissions testing cycle as it is nearing 270,000 miles.

  19. Cordoba/Charger(on the Cordoba platform)... this question was a "reach" for me, since I really only miss Oldsmobile and Pontiac...
  20. Happy birthday (I'm just waking up).

  24. Thanks for the advice! A couple of things: - it never really ran hot, but since I put in a new radiator last year, it runs REALLY cool...maybe that will be good - since I'm not getting any lights, I'm going to try to hold off on the O2 sensor - wow...so the high NJ taxes get some free perks...here, the inspections are at private places that are state approved A few questions: - I had an O2 sensor done about 50,000 miles ago...do you believe in routinely changing these even without the OBD amber signal? - should you run the F.I. cleaner in the tank BEFORE the inspection or DURING the inspection? Together with 89, instead of 87, octane? Thanks!
