A genuine attempt at this challenge from @AndyMasley’s blog, without cheating, in no particular order:

Panasonic Plant, Ford Plant, GM Plant, KCI, Lake City Plant, Whiteman AFB, Meta DC, that big evergy plant on the east side, that food manufacturer in NKC, the chemical plant in the East Bottoms

What am I missing?

I'll share more soon, but the past 5 days off from regular work I did my part for this year's KS hemp harvest as 1 of 2 sampling agents in the state.

Aside from incredible scenes I'm grateful to have experienced, today was special cuz my dad joined to learn about the process. 💚

This is what I'm crying about today as my $8400 bill from UIC for 1 semester (plus books) isn't qualifying for any financial assistance

Parked cars can be an excellent traffic calming tool.

Modern traffic safety culture. 🤦‍♂️

This is the kind of statistics I bring to meetings about parking, new major employers in large cities and how tech companies see the Midwest as parking lots for low-wage employees and future data center fields

When it comes to American cities there’s New York and then there’s everywhere else

JP Morgan in Manhattan: 14,000 workers on <2 acres of land

JP Morgan in Dallas: 4,000 more workers on 30x as much land

You'll also see counties where the town names are consciously aligned with the name of the county. For instance, Greeley County in Kansas was named for Horace Greeley, influential editor/publisher of the New York Tribune. The county's two towns are named Tribune and Horace.
