    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Or a house or building that a famous or infamous person, dignitary, etc is connected to.
This is one of Bruce Springsteens ( im not a fan...) childhood homes.
We lived on the other end of the block for a while. Whenever Bruce was playing NJ buses would stop by, and throngs of fans would pile out and photograph the place. One of the sycamore trees next to the house is apparently famous as well. My wife was friends with a girl living there growing up, and while there one day Bruce stopped by unannounced to check out his old home. Somewhere my wife has a snapshot of a young Bruce in the house...i wonder if its worth anything........

Here is what i had...

Nelson Ledges Road Course.... I guess there is a long history of bike and car racing here back to the 70's.....still have races and track days.

Nice job on the track......I figured that not everyone had one in their backyard, hence the choice of 2

What do you mean choice of 2? Did you google my area and see we also have Thompson Raceway Park?.....
Anyways, Thompson Drag strip has been there a long time also, back in high school we would go down on "run what ya brung" Thursday night.... Yeah I pulled some pretty fast times with my moms 1985 Chrysler LeBaron. haha And my 1984 Chevy Caprice Estate Wagon. Ahh...the high school days.:)
 
Choice of 2 was the track or the building a famous person was connected to....
Should have wrote choice of 2 tags I guess......
Regarding the high school days.....Mine were, for the most part spent riding bicycles on trails and skateparks and such. Mechanized foolishness came shortly later.....:p good times indeed.
 
Well I found one. I present to you The Hawk Shop. Since the last tag was easy, I'll keep the next tag simple too. A phone both. Any type will do. American kiosks, British red boxes even Brazilian orelh?o.

Phone booths are becoming a rare item around here. I saw one the other day and thought to myself that it was first one ive seen inna while.

I imagine city folk may find one or two still out there...Im way out in the country. We used to have one out in the middle of no where on the side of the road. Just off to the side of a country road, not even a place to park to use it. The Amish would use it.
 
I have a better chance of finding a cheetah in a snowstorm than finding a phone booth.
Good tag. :rolleyes:
 
If you want I'll change it or give you the option to chose one. I just didn't want to use a tag that has been done before.

Took this photo this morning at breakfast. Hydro towers

And of course, the phone booth, with my 'looks great at 10 feet' 83 T!

And since I got both tags of a two-fer, I'd figure I'd pass on a two-fer, one of which is a two-fer in itself!


First one is either a grain truck or an oil (liquid fuel types only) truck.

Second is an uncontrolled railway crossing, meaning no lights and no gates!!
