@Baseball_Matt @finansowaT @swetru_r Every single economist agrees that stadiums and arenas do not generate much revenue for surrounding businesses and communities. Those 6 city blocks of prime downtown real estate would be better used as restaurants, apartments, hotels.

Suburban stadiums = good urban planning

@25YearsAgoLive Okay? This would barely be mentioned in the local paper. Kind of weird to cover on a global news page.

@J_bursch @garonnevik Factories and offices from before artificial light was cheap. These places have set shift hours.

Thats why old factories and warehouses had huge windows.

@yarmulketruther @CF_Budge CF Budge was one of the few who was down on Nebraska last preseason. It was Joel Klatt and Josh Pate who were calling Nebraska a CFP darkhorse. This year, the consensus seems to be pessimistic and Budge is going against the grain.

@SlumRNA_Dog In Cars 2, Mater helps Finn McMissile by knowing about European engine manufacturing defects, which makes sense since car knowledge is hick-coded. But wouldn't car-knowledge be the equivalent of anatomy/biology in the Cars universe?

@regangrimm18 @RedditCFB Iowa has broke 85F in March in 1895, 1907, 1910, 1938, and 1986.

@RyanJFordice @RedditCFB The record high for Cedar Rapids in March was 85F set in 1938, which tied the record set in 1907. So they knew better.

That record was beat with 88F in 1986.

@CedricBts @echetus Today the Mississippi State Legislature is about 36% Democrat. From 1900-1960 there was not a single Republican in the Mississippi State Legislature, zero.

I started calling my hometown "the old country" when I tell my childhood stories. Makes them much more compelling.
