Jul. 7th, 2005 12:30 pmI feel a little sick.
Kings Cross station: This is the train station depicted in the Harry Potter movies. The subway station was where one got off the Picadilly line, from Heathrow, to take a Northbound train. We did that every couple of years, going to visit the rellies in Newcastle.
Russel Square: My classes were held in a rental hall of a church a block and a half away. I walked through RS to get to school each day of Spring '95.
Edgeware Road: One stop off Paddington Station.
Tavistock Square: You walked through there to get to my flat from St. Katherine's House, where the national archives were. I did some geneology searching while I was in country, and spent a lot of time there.
Moorgate/Aldgate/Liverpool St.: East End. We walked all over tehre, taking a Ripper-ology walking tour of the East End, led by one of the experts on the subject, Bill Fish. Nice guy, a little nutty. Called me Ginger, incessantly.
I feel more connection to this, than I did to WTC. I *know* these places.

My base camp on my first trip to Europe was Russell Square, at the hostel a block from the museum. I've probably spent more hours reading in the park there than I have at Volunteer Park. And on a bigger pictures scale that's more emotionally detached, I'm livid that anyone would even think about setting any bombs off anywhere NEAR the British Museum.

Life has enough hardships without artificial ones.
