For example, last week in Los Angeles an associate of mine wanted to watch the Dodgers, so I tried to get him front seats, guess what everything was sold out that show how great our fans are. The prices were really crazy though 2 times the face value. Anyhow I end up getting them face value in the end using this free comparison tickets site through this link <BR/><A HREF="http://www.ticketwood.com/mlb/LosAngeles-Dodgers-Tickets/index.php" REL="nofollow">Dodgers tickets</A><BR/>http://www.ticketwood.com/mlb/LosAngeles-Dodgers-Tickets/index.php <BR/>Anyhow I though this is something would interest you, GO DODGERS!!!<BR/>God bless BaseballAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832731735778985340.post-59385199427767005652007-02-10T18:37:00.000-05:002007-02-10T18:37:00.000-05:00That last picture links back to an interesting tid...That last picture links back to an interesting tidbit: that the very first regular-service PCCs were Brooklyn's. And the PCC was itself a wonderful example of publicly driven common good occasionally winning out over divide-and-conquer commerce. The PCC brought standardization, economy of scale, and great efficiency to urban transit, and did so at the behest of the customers -- the major public-transit agencies in the US, thus PCC: the "Presidents Conference Car". The next phase in public transit appeared to have many of the same attributes, in that the standardized trolleys were replaced by largely standardized buses, but the standard was now promulgated by the supplier -- mostly General Motors -- and not by the customer. Soon planned obsolesence undid all the PCC's gains.Greg Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742426112041839326noreply@blogger.com
