Children now talk like YouTube videos. I just heard “spoiler alert!” mid-sentence

I can’t believe Mesa pizza closed

@NortonMpls We opposed the routing through Whittier and the Council decided to agree. Prob bad decision but made sense at the time. We’d very likely have an operational green line years ago

Liminal vibes at Civic Center Station

Giggle everytime I go by this fake Mission style bell tower for the Safeway parking garage 🤣

Corporate Pride vibes here, like ok I'll just Photoshop airbrush a vague rainbow into the corner of the page

Imagine trying to explain this to someone outside of the Midwest.

🚌 Hey DC area, The District of Columbia government has decomisioned buses at auction. Can you register a bus as an #Uber? Asking for a friend. 🔗 https://t.co/DAT4a9WPMW #localgov #surplus #auction

@rhett_carlson Glad its happening and should've happened a long time ago but given the slump in everything DTSPL will it even get filled. Housing certainly, retail? Hmmm

It's been a little time since I gave an update on our quest to try to build a better 5-over-1, so here are some notes!

I walked 26 miles from Hacker Way to Apple Park – it took 9 hours.

Here’s my Silicon Valley architectural and street scene photo journal.

Pristine shorelines, Eichlers galore, endless office parks, and Teslas in every driveway.

The Valley is stronger than ever.

Curious that Ubisofts closed SF office still advertises AC Mirage even though Shadows was planned to be released prior to its closing

@daviss Interesting they call it blight, looks more like a dead mall to me. Local retail and the cheffie restaurant scene died across the Twin Cities long ago. North Loop is prob the last place to find that vibe thanks to an abundance of new apartments and high brow transients.
