Gratuitous Travel Observation
Writing about the Delaware Bridge below put me in mind of another question raised on my last trip up I-95: Just whose bright idea was this thing:
It's the "Xanadu" at the Izod Center in the Meadowlands sports complex.
Do you know, when I first spotted that cockeyed tilt of a silhouette in the distance as I came north (apparently an "indoor ski slope"), for one wild second I seriously wondered whether a giant space ship might have crashed there?
When we actually came level with the place after getting through the Jersey Turnpike toll booth, it looked more like a do-it-yourself "Retro Soviet" mall kit picked up at the Bulgarian IKEA.
What are these people thinking?
