Saturday morning Winter Portland Farmers Market

Just a couple of Saturdays left in the winter market in the green space behind the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland. Lots of tasty foods prepared on the spot and fresh produce to bring home.

Grand Central Station in New York City

New York’s Metropolitan Transit Authority is celebrating the 100th anniversary of Grand Central Station.
Cheers and here’s to 100 more — at least!
Here’s a shot of the station taken on a visit back in February 2011.

From what I can see, Santiago Calatrava’s pedestrian bridge in Calgary continues to draw non-commuting visitors, especially on weekends, in addition to folks who use the crossing in a functional manner.
Despite the controversial way in which the structure was acquired, I’m happy to see it being embraced by the community.
