Re: Dave Lavery VCU Hint!

This is kind of a 6 degrees of seperation thing. I have lived in Richmond for all but like 3 months of my life, so I know a little history and such of the place, not as much as some, but still enough. If you looked around behind the Seigle Center there were some train tracks that would dead end into buildings and such, and if you just look around Richmond, you see much of these strange things. Back like 6 or 7 years ago, the Science Museum of Virginia did some remodeling in the back of it. There were these old train tracks. Now for those that don't know SMVA was once one of the biggest train stations in the South, and probably the biggest hub for transportation from the South to the North and Washington DC. But in the remodeling, those bueatiful tracks were removed, but the loading platforms and shelters over them remain. My new theory, after seeing a picture of me sitting in the lap of my grandfather, while "operating" a front end loader that was pulling out some of the tracks, is that next years game might have something to do with tracks, a platform, a two fold task: getting up onto a 10 foot high something and then doing a task on it (from the shelters, don't ask), and still the pendulum. This clue might have more to do with the Museum's intresting past, and not just it's exhibits. I know there aren't many signs left of it's past around there, but if you look in certain areas, you will see them. Cool note, my grandfather's paving/construction company was contracted out to remove the old train tracks when I was little, that's why I have that picture, and if it hasn't been covered up my initals "MAI" are there in the back somewhere.
