Mimi's is apparently a chain for "ladies who lunch" as it is very popular here is Northern Virginia at Dulles Mall. Often hard to get into and specializes in 'american style home cooking"

However they do it be very very wary about Toll roads. Maquarie, an Australian company has got us by the short hairs in Northern Virginia, charging $4.00 plus for a one way trip (15 miles) to Leesburg - with no separate charges wherever you exit from start to finish. As I remember Fla has a good understanding of toll roads, just don't let the Aussies get involved!

IIRC, they're the one who bought the two toll bridges around Montgomery, and raised the fee from $.75 to $1.25 last year.

Cool!

Just got back from Destin earlier tonight, and I've got a question. When will the I-65 construction in Montgomery be completed?

Most likely fall of 2009, if it runs on time.

The wife and I had a good time eating out at The House Sat. night. Everything was very good and the service was great.

Haven't got alot of time right not...about to go plant flowers around the Ren. Hotel and Convention Center. So if you see a bunch of guys laboring out there one of them will be me.

Some nice pictures my friend shot with his HDR camera. Didn't think they were thread worthy, so here they go.

SouthSky · #**2970** Posted **May 6, 2008, 7:44 AM**

Really cool pics! The middle one looks like CGI.

Capital Heights · #**2971** Posted **May 6, 2008, 2:44 PM**

Great pics. I really love the panoramic pic showing the skyline. Good job.

10101000 · #**2972** Posted **May 6, 2008, 4:20 PM**

Yeah, nice pics. Thanks for posting.

Port_of_Bama · #**2973** Posted **May 6, 2008, 4:52 PM**

not bad at all i`m realy feeling the last pic looks very urban to me !

You guys hardley ever post pics of your city , and those 3 have me wanting to see more.

midwestrabbi · #**2974** Posted **May 6, 2008, 6:05 PM**

Where was the location of your last pic taken ? Yes , those were some great pics, I wished you guys would place more pics on this site ( memories of life in Montgomery ) especially at the Lower Commerce Street area and the new Riverwalk along the river.

thoraudio · #**2975** Posted **May 6, 2008, 6:12 PM**

I'd posted several threads in the past, but my website went kaput. I'll see if I can make a new thread with some cherry picked ones soon.

**edit** my site is back.... weird. I need to grab and save the pics.

Brown Duckz · #**2976** Posted **May 7, 2008, 2:50 AM**

They were a friend of mine's pics who just picked up the HDR camera. I'll try and find out where he took the pano & I guess I need to kidnap him and take him to some good spots.

hiijakd · #**2977** Posted **May 7, 2008, 3:12 AM**

it looks like he was on the northern blvd bridge right where it crosses the tracks. that apt building on the left hand side is an abandoned one behind the fire station off of court st.
i love the HDR pics. i might have to get me one.

We've posted plenty of pics on this site of Montgomery over time. Thoraudio had plenty and hopefully he'll get his site back up so you can see them. I've taken plenty also and have posted them, but my camera died a while back. But the good news is I bought a new camera today.

It's ironic that we're talking about pics on the day I got a new one finally.

Those are great pictures. I can't believe how much better the HD looks.
