Above is the entrance to Crown Center (a unique shopping mall owned by Hallmark). To the right you can see the walkway from yesterday's photo. The photo at left is another view from inside the walkway toward the Hyatt Hotel (a restaurant on top slowly cirles the city). In this photo you can see more of the walkway in the lower center by the office building. This particular walkway cross 2 streets and connect 3 buildings. At another point in Crown Center there is a walkway again crossing 2 streets to Union Station. Here is a photo of
Union Station from last winter that shows the walkway on the center right.

Nice shots Regina. More of your city's fountains!
Great views!
The fountain is what I like best here. So, are these walkways above the ground level? If so, I hate them. When I got to Hartford, there were many of these "skywalks" whose purpose was to hurry office workers to and from their cars and office buildings without ever walking on the sidewalks past retail stores, restaurants and other city attractions. And they wondered why the city was dying and the sidewalks were rolled up at 5 o'clock! Fortunately, all but 2 or 3 have been removed, but the damage has been done and it is tough bringing back vitality once it has been lost.
At a friends house right now and wanted to see what you've been up to. Wonderful looking mall.
