Guess the Location
Alright. Who wants to guess where the following picture came from? The closer and more specific the better. For instance, Beverly Hills would be better than Los Angeles. Of course LA would be better than California. You get the idea.
I agree... Québec City. Rue du Petit-Champlain. Looking south toward the Saint Lawrence River near the bottom of the Breakneck Stairs, or l'Escalier casse-cou. Perhaps the photo was even taken standing on one of the bottom few steps. Sometime in the early afternoon, judging by the position of the sun.
Is that specific enough? I've been to Québec City a couple of times. Cool place.
I'm afraid you won't find Track Twenty-Nine at New York's Pennsylvania Station, and you wouldn't have found one in 1941 when the Glenn Miller song debuted either.
But of course, with the Internet, all things are possible; you've found Track Twenty-Nine here in the ether of cyberspace. I hope you visit often. You never know what you might find along the tracks here.
I'm a recent graduate of the Urban Planning Master's program at the University of Maryland. My interests include planning and transportation.
I got my undergraduate degree in Public Policy from the Georgia Institute of Technology and am a recent transplant (Aug. '07) to the DC area.
Unless otherwise noted, all photos on this site were taken by me. If you'd like to use one, please ask (matt.tracktwentynine at gmail.com) and give credit. Thanks!

The old city portion of Quebec city, Quebec.
That's not Georgetown near the canal, is it?
