Monumental

I rode the train from our little suburb into Union Station yesterday. I have been through some of the great train stations of the world and while Union Station doesn't do the traffic of Tokyo or Victoria Stations it is a wonderful, ambitious place. It is monumental as the main train station of a monumental city should be.

It is that "monumental-ness" that is among the things I will miss in Badgershire.

On the other hand, the country is right there in Badgershire. You could drive two hours and still not be in the country here.
