[edit] To-do list

• Treaty of Traverse des Sioux (from American Memory, probably many more in A Century of Lawmaking
• Map of the Cascade Tunnel using Populated Places of WA - look for Berne (f_type = ppl) and Scenic (f_type = locale)
• Monroe Street Bridge in Spokane: article on reconstruction, history of the three bridges in the location, NRHP statement of significance (with links to other NRHP sites), HABS/HAER link for the power plant
• Wikipedia database downloads, particularly all_titles_in_ns0.gz (and see Wikipedia:Database download) - can compare article titles against the lists of registered historic places and stuff (all_titles_in_ns0.gz is just the article titles) -- also use Special:Export/List_of_Registered_Historic_Places_in_Washington for downloading as unparsed Wiki markup

• Other maps in Category:Trains project articles needing maps

• More bridge articles in Brainerd
  • Minnesota Highway 371 Bridge - see my St. Cloud-Brainerd directory
  • Washington Street Bridge MN-210 - see Image:MN-210 Bridge 2a.JPG in the Commons
  • Brainerd Rail Bridge - picture in the St. Cloud-Brainerd directory is mostly OK
  • Laurel Street Bridge - picture in Crow Wing Tour, but it kind of blows

• Pictures from Crow Wing County that correspond to unwritten articles:
  • Northern Pacific Railroad Shops Historic District (Minnesota Treasures, p. 47) - can probably add them to Northern Pacific Railway as well

• Pictures from 6/24, 6/25 for unwritten articles

  • White Castle Building No. 8 - I think I can write an article about a hamburger stand (Minnesota Treasures, p. 276)
  • Washburn Park Water Tower (plaque on it) and tribe.net
  • Nicollet Avenue Bridge - not NRHP or a bridge over the Mississippi, but it's a nice looking arch bridge nationalbridges.com

  • Washburn-Fair Oaks Mansion District
  • Image:WitchesHatWT.JPG already exists for the Prospect Park water tower

• Incorporate interesting Minnesota facts from the North Star site
