So I thought I’d blog my drive to work this morning.. it’s the last time I’ll be driving out to the VA and a time will come when I don’t remeber this city as clearly… However, it was a gloomy, rainy, overcast morning and I was taking pictures on my cell phone while moving – so I don’t know how much of this will really be nostalgic later, since I can’t recognize a whole lot. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So this first picture is on Kingshighway heading north, right by Tower Grove Park.\"Picture(87).jpg\"<\/p>\n

This one is the World’s Fair Donut Shop that I pass every morning (on Vandeventer).  It’s hard to see because of the rain on the windshield.  I’ve never actually been here… I wonder if they have maple bars (probably not).

Here is the construction at Vandeventer and Chouteau that has inconveniently removed a nice route home from school by removing a bridge.  Hopefully they will be putting it back up.

This is at Vandeventer and Forest Park.  Not very interesting. Oh well.

And here’s Vandeventer and Lindell – if you turn right here you’ll get to AJ’s school.

This is the parking lot for the VA.  Kind of empty … guess I’m early. \ud83d\ude42

This is the semi-scary alley I have to walk in to get between the parking lot and the VA hospital.  I think homeless people might take refuge there sometimes, but I’ve never seen anyone there.  Today was my last day at the VA so I don’t have to walk there anymore.

And here’s the front entrance to the VA.  The big black building with the air conditioner is the smoking shelter.  But it doesn’t do a very good job of sheltering the smoke so my lungs get just a little bit blacker each time I walk past it.
