| Danger! |
Coming back to NYC from the North Country, where he was doing some research, your correspondent approached the fearsome West Rock Tunnel on the Wilbur Cross Parkway. That sign (at right) sternly warns drivers to "Remove Sun Glasses at Tunnel" (NB: not before tunnel,
at tunnel). While I generally strive to respect the rules of the road, I hesitated. The tunnel is barely 400 yards long. Maybe just this once....

Reader, I dared! And the light on the other side was all the more glorious for it. Come and get me, Joe, if you think you've got the Joementum!
I never knew the tunnel was called the
West Rock Tunnel, nor that it was in New Haven. It's actually the only highway tunnel in New England going through a landmass, the hill of West Rock State Park. Maybe we should consider creating a similar park on top of the BQE somewhere; with snowmaking technology we could have skiing and snowboarding, as well as hiking and biking. Mount Maspeth?
Y-Boy:
ReplyDeleteYour best idea since flooding the BQE for dragon boat races. Maybe we could get the old Winfield Bobsled club up and running again! Break out Das Klister. Lets just say i'm an NYC Winter Olympic Dreamer, hey no weirder than Vancouver.
Keep dreaming (but not while driving)
