[QUOTE=TheCane;2448998]I recently watched an episode of Rick Steeves' Europe, and he was in Frankfurt. I remember when he used to call his travel series Europe Through the Backdoor. Son if you only knew LOL! In the recent episode I watched, he showcased the Frankfurt Hauptbanhof, the busiest one in all of Germany I understand. My heart raced with excited warmth as I reminisced about many an afternoon jaunt to Oase, Sharks, or World that began from that very station! He also showed the nearby red light district, which I have never patronized. Well if I can't get to it, then I can at least look at it on TV![/QUOTE]I remember my last view of the Frankfurt Hauptbanhof on the night of Monday 16 March after leaving Sharks, I had never seen it so empty, it was eerie. I knew then and there that I needed to cut short my trip and head back home and tears almost came to my eyes. I decided to walk back to my hotel, the Marriott, Messe. The stroll was frightfully dreary. I dipped into the Red Light district and checked out a few providers with no intention of partaking, most rooms were empty with the available fare not the least bit appetizing. When I got to my hotel headed straight to Expedia.
