Traveling by MAX across downtown is a fairly slow -- sometimes frustrating
-- process, as it is all through way through the Free Rail Zone. The
blocks are very short. And there are traffic signals at every cross
street. Station stops sometimes seem to take longer than one might
otherwise hope for.
The station sign to the right of the train is for
Galleria/SW 10th Ave, then the last inbound stop on the Red Line. There is much
heavy-duty shopping in this area. Even in the heart of downtown, trees
seem to be everywhere. It is a pleasant and somewhat unusual sight in a
major American city. |
