Everyone goes home at 5pm; I never saw such a spooky downtown. You could sleep peacefully and safely in the middle of an intersection if it wasn't for the friendly Dallas police, who like to arrest you for jaywalking across deserted streets. Guess they don't have much to do except watch empty buildings. -- Joe Steffen, AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL, (312) 979-5381
