@MetroGram Yep. I have been talking about moving off this app for over a year. Beyond the ads I absolutely don’t want to see, I have to constantly delete accounts I know are not real who DM me or follow me. I hate it that it once was useful for me and I connected to a lot of folks.

In 1904, 120 years ago today, the New York City Subway opened – an absolutely remarkable system of mass transit. With 472 stations, and over 248 miles of routes, the Subway is also an engineering and infrastructure marvel.

Continued investment in passenger and commercial rail is good for our economy and communities across North Carolina. This monumental investment from the Biden-Harris Administration represents a major step forward in enhancing our rail infrastructure.
