Teenage Train Hopping Ends in Death

A northeast Minneapolis teenager has died in an accident hopping trains with 2 friends. The body of 15 year old Chris Hanson was found along the railroad tracks near 14th Avenue Northeast and Filmore Street in Minneapolis Thursday night.

Growing up in Northeast, I used to hop trains to school along that very same rail.. All respects and prayers go out to his family. Hundreds of people gathered in a vigil last night to honor his memory.

New NorthEast Minneapolis in Google Earth

I though I was doing a fair job creating a handful of models here and there... But a new geo-modeler has stepped on stage. "JCorySharp" is single handedly getting it done! Every day I check, he has numerous new, extremely high quality models done for landmark buildings in Northeast. In the last week alone he has produced 30 new buildings to be showing up soon in Google Earth. Sniping out a few of my attempts.. I don't know what the guys story is.. is this all he does? All I know is he does it well! So look for JCorySharp models showing up live in Google Earth in time for Halloween.
