Still need to get to Niagara Falls now that I've lived in Westchester for 11 years (although word is I have to be on the Canada side b/c the NY area is depressing).  While living in NYC, though, I went to Lady Liberty more than once -even got engaged there- and it is quite a sight to stand at her feet and look up.  The long line for the crown was not that worth it b/c the windows are small and the herd behind you is pushing you along.  But just to be at the start of so many immigrants (including two of my grandparents) is just cool.  :)  So who exactly were the people swarming the bookstore on a Tuesday morning.  High unemployment in Portland?  Or just fellow dominators?  I'd love to see that city!
