@GoTriangle Okay

[Thomas Pope @ThomasPope]

@GoTriangle But I don't think so, since I definitely was paying attention, and trying to watch carefully for the bus, since it was a bit cold out there and I was eager to get home.

[Thomas Pope @ThomasPope]

@GoTriangle So do you know what happened? Do you know if that Route 305 bus did in fact pass the Kildare Farm & Tryon stop and intersection some time around 6:29 yesterday (Friday the 21st)? There's a lot of traffic around there at that time, so it's possible I could have failed to notice it

[Thomas Pope @ThomasPope]

@GoRaleighNC Was a final notification released by 10 AM today? What was it?

[Thomas Pope @ThomasPope]

@GoTriangle There's no schedule there

@MattSpiegel670 Giddyup, Spiegs…

[Thomas Pope @ThomasPope]

@MattSpiegel670 @BarryRozner @ChrisTannehill , Chief!

[Thomas Pope @ThomasPope]

@_GXM Indeed maybe anything sounding to be from "Out West" would've been enticingly exotic and aspirational to turn-of-the-century ears in a way that we can't quite relate-to today, conferring more marketing cachet upon those names—including "Colorado Avenue"—than I'd intuitively think

[Thomas Pope @ThomasPope]

@_GXM Oh, yeah, good point. As a Chicagoan, those three street names (California, Sacramento, and Francisco) are *so* familiar that they're utterly commonplace, and one really never stops to think about or consider them, but they are indeed also a little odd.

[Thomas Pope @ThomasPope]

@_GXM Oh, yeah, there it still is (a little bit):

[Thomas Pope @ThomasPope]

@_GXM And I was gonna ask if any trace of that route still persists west of Cicero Avenue, but it looks on the map like portions of Riverside Drive in Berwyn and Longcommon Road in Riverside are probably actually another disjunct continuation of it, if I'm not mistaken.

@MattSpiegel670 Hi, Spiegs, any progress on the Our Game podcast returning?

Thx

[Thomas Pope @ThomasPope]

@MattSpiegel670 Say, Spiegs, is the Our Game podcast ever coming back this season? I haven't seen or heard anything about it in a long time, and frankly this is about the time when it's most needed, with the pennant races, upcoming postseason, and the clutter of football having begun to intrude.
