Flipped Out's photostream  

Hon Kee on Argyle St. is one of my favorite holes in the wall restaurants in Chicago. Their noodle soups are excellent.

Amtrak station at Croton-on-Hudson, the last stop of the Lake Shore Limited before Penn Station in New York City.

Took a the Amtrak overnight from Chicago to New York City. Pleasant 20 hour ride. I will do it again.

This is one of the bridges that spans the Hudson River around/near Poughkeepsie. Since I do not know the area, I will just arbitrarily assign this to Poughkeepsie ....

Taken from a running Amtrak train (Lake Shore Limited) that runs from New York - Albany - Chicago and back.

Big fire crackers display on Argyle St. earlier today to celebrate the Year of the Dragon. The fire crackers looks so innocuous in the photograph, but, believe me, our ear drums were perforated ... :-). They didn't skimp on firecrackers this year.

Meet up with the Chicagoland and Northwestern Illinois Meet Up Group.

Argyle St., earlier today. Argyle St. in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood is also known as the "New Chinatown" because of a preponderance of Chinese/Vietnamese stores and restaurants.
