I make lots of "airport runs". I travel quite a bit and it seems my family and friends travel quite a bit as well. My favorite "airport run" to make is to Laguardia Airport (LGA) Its about 30 minutes from my house and the traffice usually is good. Because of living in the Bronx and working in Brooklyn I pass by Laguardia airport often. I see the planes landing and taking off and wonder where are they going, where are they returning from. Any way here are two photos of the American Airlines buildings that still have the old look that the other terminals used to have but as the airport expands and looks more modern I like the old look better. After taking those photos I decided to circle around to Shea Stadium, home to the MLB team The NY Mets. I lived in queens until i was 12 and grew up a Met Fan. Lee Mazilli was one of my childhood heroes. I remember Dave Kingman hitting home runs in to this very parkinglot. Just behind the stadium they are erecting the new Citi Field and I'm not sure what they will do with this one. Then on the way home I shot a picture as I crossed the Queens side of the Triboro Bridge. A connector of Queens, Manhattan and The Bronx that I often use to get to and fro. Its been under heavy construction but its looking nice and beautiful.
