Will we lose Mondo?

I have gone back and forth in my mind regarding the Hotel thing. When I learned that Mondo Video probably would not move to a new location due to the high rents charged on other parts of Elmwood, my mind was made up. Without Mondo we are all at the mercy of Blockbuster. They don't even have an uncut version of Showgirls! Since I never plan on staying at a Hotel on Elmwood Ave, Mondo is clearly the better option for me.

Horoscopes/AstrologĂ­a

I compared the horoscopes posted in spanish and english on the Yahoo webpage. I assumed they would be the same, but they are entirely different.

Yahoo in english

Quickie:
Today focus exclusively on the people and things in your life that will endure.

Overview:
Your loved ones know they can count on you for just about anything -- you've always remembered the necessities and niceties that everyone else lets slide. If they ask, let them in on your secret.

Yahoo en español

VIDA PRIVADA
Por fin, las cosas empiezan a mejorar y hay un nuevo romance en tu vida. De todas maneras no te debes dejar por el encanto de alguien, porque te puedes desilusionar cuando ese brillo termine.

Basically, it says things are improving starting to improve in my life and there is a new romance in my life. I shouldn't, however, be swept up by their charm becauses I will be dissapointed when it ends.

I looked at other peoples signs and realized the spanish ones are all much more specific about what they say. ¡Que interesante!

Steve and Dave's Toxic Waste Adventures

Skip to the LOOW my darling. Follow Steve and Dave's Toxic Waste Adventure to the Lake Ontario Ordnance Works (LOOW) site situated in the towns of Lewiston and Porter.

I was born here in Lewiston NY at Mount St. Mary's Hospital.
5300 Military Rd.
Lewiston NY 14902

image

We found Jesus along the way.


image

We fed our addiction to oil here.

I didn't know where we were going. Luckily I didn't need to know, because we had spotted a large caravan of Modern Waste trucks....."Quick Steve follow that trash!"

image


image


Hi Ho Hi Ho off to work I go!



image

1,2,3,4,5.....6 (Number of trucks we are following)

image

Modern Corporation
4746 Model City Road
PO Box 209
Model City, NY 14107-0209

Phone:
Toll Free: 800.662.0012
Local: (716) 754.8226

In case any of you have some toxic waste in need of disposing....give these guys a call.

image


What is inside those containers?

image

Right turn onto Swann Dr. Sign for KOA Campgrounds pointing us in this direction.

image

"Steve, I'm scared!"

image

Pletcher Rd. Isn't it beautiful?

image

Modern Landfill Dr. A dead end.

image

Entrance to landfill. Notice the American and Canadian flags.

image

Look for your H2Gro sticker at your local supermarket. Modern Corp. the owners of the Modern Landfill grow tomatoes in a greenhouse accross the street from the dump. Sun Valley Farms distributes them to our local markets.

Check out the link. They look delicious!


image

The Lewiston-Porter School campus was built on a portion of the 7,500 acre LOOW site. Many are concerned of toxins on the campus. I went to the campus to search for health reports and the woman gave me this link:

However, she hasn't read any of the reports even though she posted them herself to the schools website. She said she didn't have time, and the fact is I don't either.

image

Where have all the people gone? Faded for sale signs hang in the windows. As I took pictures, I began to feel ill.

image

These mobile homes filled with teenagers live accross the street from the abandoned homes.


image

Old government mailbox seen inside the LOOW. The government originally acquired the land from local farmers. Originally LOOW was a site for the production of TNT during WWII.

image

If i wanted to get in I could, but I don't want to

image

Unfortunately, the wildlife can't read the signs.

image

US. Govt. Property

image

Niagara Falls Storage Site. This is where the radioactive waste from the atomic bombs is kept. While I was taking pictures, all of my senses went numb. I had the urge to vomit. Everypart of my being told me to get out of there. Something was making me very ill.

image

Please enter your security code.

image

Beautiful home for sale. Any takers?

image

Let the children play! A nearby resident told me that she had moved in a few months ago. She said her child plays in the woods all the time. When I asked her if she knew of the radioactive waste from the atom bombs she said that I was wrong. The bombs were made in Tennessee. How right she is. They just took the waste and disposed of it here.

image

We ate at a local restaurant in Youngstown zip code 14174. The waitress informed us that this area has the highest rate of multiple sclerosis in the country. As she is not from the area, she tells us that many people in the area have rotted teeth. As she turned away to turn in our order, a man with the classic M.S. crutches walks by the window.

image

After lunch, we had enough of Niagara County for one day.

Virginity Lost

I have never posted a blog (is this a blog?). It sure is scary the first time you do it. Secretly I have been epeeping on epeeps for quite a while now. I have found I love photos in peoples journals. Question...if you post a photo here is it considered copyrighted? Originally, I wanted my username to be Señor Conejo (Mr. Wabbit), unfortunately, you can't have spaces or special characters in your name. I decided to stay with a Spanish username, Libertad. What is libertad anyways? It means freedom, but what is freedom? Why would I call my self Libertad when I am paranoid to have even more of my personal information forever stored in some database? I don't really know the answer to my question, but hey let the libertad ring.

So here I am exposed to the world in one of those ridiculous tourist attraction photo opportunities (Yes, I am supposed to be a Manatee). I really don't like these things. These "things" you are supposed to put your head through so someone can take your picture. Really, I only did it because it made someone happy, I guess that is all that matters.

Thanks Paul for elmwoodstrip.com. You must have a wonderful PR person, how else would I have known of this? Great job!

Libertad
