Ticket Center, Union Terminal, Cincinnati, Ohio © Doug Hickok
Although this giant "eye" looks Orwellian, it is not 1984. It is 2011, and what you see is not Big Brother watching you, but the interior of an art deco era train station. Except these days it is featured as a museum complex. Tickets are still sold for trains to Chicago or Montreal, but are also available for trips back in time to exhibits about the Jurassic period, ancient Egypt and the early settlement of Cincinnati along the Ohio River.
So don't be paranoid. You are not being watched.
You are free to do as you wish.
But wherever you go, whatever you do, and whomever you speak to,
keep an eye out for those hidden security cameras.
Have a great weekend!
