From the Fifth State of the Nation Address of President Fidel V. Ramos , delivered on July 22, 1996:
“Kaya ito ng Pinoy! Kayang-kaya!!”
"We have demonstrated our own capability to manage our economy towards stability and sustained growth—earning the respect of the global economic community and making it unnecessary for us to depend on the IMF’s “Seal of Good Housekeeping.” Next year, we shall end 30 years of stringent economic programs under the IMF’s watchful eyes—and asserting full responsibility and credit for managing our economic growth and development into the 21st century. The IMF cites three reasons why our economy has overcome its historical cycles of boom and bust: First, growth today is being boosted by exports and investments—and not by consumer spending or government pump-priming. Second, growth is being accompanied by some increase in private savings and not necessarily by increasing external debt or foreign loans. Third, the economy has become more resilient to economic shocks."

The Eastern State Penitentiary (ESP[4]) is a former American prison in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is found at 2027 Fairmount Avenue between Corinthian Avenue and North 22nd Street in the Fairmount section of the city, and was operational from 1829 until 1971. The penitentiary refined the revolutionary system of separate incarceration first pioneered at the Walnut Street Jail which emphasized principles of reform rather than punishment.[5] Notorious criminals such as bank robber Willie Sutton and Al Capone were held inside its innovative wagon wheel design. When the building was erected it was the largest and most expensive public structure ever constructed, quickly becoming a model for more than 300 prisons worldwide. It was designed as a panopticon.

Oh I drool over these cruisers. I want two! Both with pit maneuver bumpers! I got the right light tonight. They catch a break at the Starbucks near the hospital to get ready for a long night.
As you can see, we've only touched the "tip of the iceberg" so to speak when it comes to this State Park. The Freight Yard Pub is only a part of the great State Park! There is a Science and History museum, but we have to go back their hours not very regular hours right now. I will have to show you the infamous and famous Hoosac Tunnel. Stay
tuned, that will be coming up next. It is said to be haunted and was featured in a book
about haunted places in the Northeast.
Best viewed in large size.

A former railroad yard, this urban park uses historical artifacts and exhibits to bring to life the controversial and danger-filled construction of the Hoosac Tunnel, one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century. The tunnel was dug 4.75 miles through Hoosac Mountain, linking Massachusetts to Albany, NY. 200 men lost their lives building the tunnel, which is still being used today. An audio-visual presentation takes visitors back in time, where the sounds of dripping water, pickaxes against stone, explosions, and debates re-create the hardships and heroism of the tunnel's construction.
Several beautifully restored buildings that were once used to store freight and commodities surround a cobblestone courtyard. The buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Programs and exhibits in history, science, culture and environmental education are offered regularly to the public.
The Visitors Center
The heart of the park is the Visitors Museum. Imaginative exhibits are designed to reveal the impact that the railroad industry and the Hoosac Tunnel project had on both northern Berkshire County and America. Children and adults can experiment with a vintage floor scale that was used for weighing loads up to half a ton. A 30-minute documentary film provides a history of the Hoosac Tunnel. Allow approximately one hour to view the exhibits.
Things to know before you go…
Visitors Center hours: Thursday through Monday 10am to 4pm
Closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Call for Holiday Hours.
Admission and parking is free. The building and exhibits are universally accessible. Program access may vary. Reasonable accommodations available upon request. Group tours and school visits may be arranged by calling in advance. While touring northern Berkshire County in the spring, summer and fall consider visiting: Natural Bridge State Park, just two miles away on Rte. 8; and Mount Greylock State Reservation, with its summit at 3,491 feet, the highest peak in Massachusetts. The drive from Western Gateway offers spectacular views of the Berkshire landscape. It can be easily reached from the Furnace Street exit of Western Gateway.
