Andrew Carroll began a wonderful journey marking forgotten places of historical relevance through the Nat Geo sponsored Here Is Where project.

Mr.Schwarzenegger, what art thou contemplating??

Arnold, I understand that you've got to stand true to your Republican ideals, but this failure in resolving your state budget that is in complete shambles - like really, issuing IOUs? common man..! - is disappointing. Avoiding substantive reforms till the last moment, you are running the state budget on a tightrope. Would you really put college students, poor, sick and disabled Americans, grandpa and grandma in jeopardy (recollect advocating cuts in college aid, healthcare and welfare?) rather than consider Dems advice on hiking Vehicle license fee, Tobacco tax, and tax on oil drillers? where's my terminator hero??
