    Charlotte, North Carolina

    Yesterday you learned about a train…. …that would take us to the center of the city.

In March of 1985, I moved to the Dallas metro area from Denver…at the time, a little area called Lewisville.  The above photograph is the Dallas skyline from inside the restaurant at the top of Reunion Tower. …
