I went to a Church Leadership Seminar in New York at the Journey Church of the City (which meets in a hotel conference room on the weekends. We met in their studio office space in Manhattan.)

The conference was great, and I learned a lot. I snapped some photos on the train and around town. Hope you like.


We stayed at the Peekskill Inn outside town. Nothing Spectacular, but they had wi-fi, and a hot shower, and the bed didn't smell like cigarrettes, so it was good enough for me. The view overlooking the Hudson was gorgeous.

Then we took the commuter train into the city. I was amazed at how much money and time people spend commuting into the city everyday to work.


At the train station, I noticed the speakers had spiny things on them... After some investigation, I discovered that the spines keep the local pigeons from making nests there.












We finished up the 45 minute commuter ride at Grand Central Station, and rushed through the tunnels to get to the next subway trains.


We also saw a lot of street musicians playing tunes in the subway. My favorite was this group of guys.




















Another thing that caught my eye was a lack of parking, and this contraption designed to stack cars into a limited space. I don't ever want to hear folks in Bradford griping about a parking shortage until they try to park in one of these babies!

15 year old Ariel Campbell of Bradford snapped these great winter pics and sent them to us of the Valentine's Day 2007 Blizzard

























It looks like Ariel and her brother Gage have gone a little crazy from being cooped up in this weather!

Then we went to the Swap Meet. Lots of vendors, lots of oil memoribilia, and even the Sadie Green Sales Jug Band!

We had a blast. And again.. the cost... FREE. Can't beat that.
