The Alpine scene painted on the front of the bank is an artist's conception of the famous Gotthard Pass in the Alps that separates Switzerland from France. This railroad tunnel is 9.3 miles long. A small passenger train actually comes in and out of two simulated tunnels, which can be seen to the left of the painting. This tunnel was completed in 1881.
Hi.
I miss you.
It was nice. I got here 4:20.
The trip was on the 5th Ave.
Andy was waiting. It's a good place away, but it's a really nice home and street. Nate said too bad you couldn't make it.
See you
Ann
