Dallas. I once serviced a copy machine in the Dallas DP headquarters, got all the DP I wanted to drink, in the meanwhile. That was a hot, hot summer.

I've been skydiving though. Jumped out of a plane from 14,000 feet when I lived in Michigan.

It was pretty surreal passing through actual clouds. ☁️

Wow cool

Did you go solo or were you strapped onto someone else?

reply

[–] michaelDclarke (1819) a year ago

Non-tandem (solo). I had my own parachute but I had two people on each side of me guiding me and holding onto my arms.

Once I got closer to the ground, they released and I was left on my own. Deployed my own parachute and all.

Chicago (live there myself, now)

[–] mtxmind (3296) a year ago

Not Chicago. California, SF Bay Area.

Parts of Terminator 2, & American Graffiti 2 were also filmed here.

[–] jriley555 (8118) a year ago

Before that, CC filmed in Chicago.

Where in the bay ? I used to live in the city, Sutter & Octavia. Beautiful area, between Japantown & Pacific Heights.

[–] mtxmind (3296) a year ago

East Bay Area. Roughly half way between Oakland, & San Jose. Essanay had a 2cd Studio here.

The studio was founded in 1907 in Chicago, and later developed an additional film lot in Niles Canyon, California. (Present day Fremont)

Love the bay, miss it.
