Underrated life advice: Get out of the house. Walk. Gym. Grocery store. Park. Anything will do. The mood that won't move on the couch usually moves on the sidewalk. Put your shoes on. You'll be shocked by how fast the day changes. Go.

We used to have these. They were called Apartment Hotels. They’d consist of a single room with a bathroom, housecleaning, a cafeteria and lounges. Imagine being able to rent month to month and not need to furnish an apartment. It was ideal. Nuts we got rid of these.

[Lisa Folliard @LisaFolliard]

@ModerateIndy Agreed, attractive!

Traditional business districts are still half-empty and waiting for office workers to return. Can younger people and families fill the gap? https://t.co/BhFS6JNy7K

Japanese people run tiny shops like this because they're allowed to. We could also be allowed to, and that's what "urbanism" is all about. https://t.co/UA682kt7LX
