I spy some new @Amtrak_Cascades trains at Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station. They’re heading out west later this year after they learn How To Be A Good Train from their east coast cousins.
At 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, a large photo of the most elegant electric locomotive this country ever produced: The GG1.
As a kid, I remember my father taking me to see the final revenue run of the GG1 through our town.
Police in Halsey have had just about enough of locals commuting around town on their lawnmowers, according to this week’s edition of the Brownsville Times. #orpol
@CustomHester Arguably Oakland was the last city to lose its only (remaining) Big 4 franchise when the A’s left town in 2024. Of course, Oakland specializes in losing franchises, so perhaps not the best comparison.
One of the curious results of the Oregon Capitol renovation is that all the labels have disappeared from the portraits. Not even a name, much less an explanation as to why this fellow is standing on the beach or why that other guy is sitting by a river with a medical bag. #orpol
The importance of a good editor: Waiting in the drive-thru, I saw an employee finish up the message on this sign. A manager opened a door and called out: “It’s supposed to say ‘Closed on Christmas.’”

I love how Eugene's neighborhood associations, which are kinda/sorta part of city government, have to post an official agenda for their summer picnics. After the chair bangs the gavel down following Agenda Item 1, there must be absolutely no socializing during the concert. #orpol
@TaylorWAnderson We have something like that in Oregon each summer.
"It still isn't burning. Here's when it might burn."
"Wildfires are coming. Here's when, where and how much to expect."
"It burned. Here's how many acres burned near you."
