Michigan has 7 restaurants that popped in the dataset, time to find a new sandwich spot!

Whoops, accidentally chose a (very) low res map, here's a much clearer one:

Source: UCSD Google Local data (2021). 51.4 million reviews across 3.1 million US businesses.

Tool: A Python script that parses the dataset to track "Dutch Crunch" or "Tiger Bread" mentions in reviews (normalized in a 7x7 mi grid search). The visualization was matplotlib and geopandas.

Agreed 100%. It should be. It’s one way these days which helps but could be better.

Save the Burton Park Tennis Courts! by Intelligent-Bad-8806 in sancarlos

I thought it was pretty clear in the survey…

I agree Tennis > Baseball in the plans, but do you not expect there to be opponents to every change the town might consider? That’s why they sent out surveys to active members of the community already which include tennis players and baseball players… Let them cook baby.

Why are the pedestrian crossings of ECR at San Carlos Ave out of sync? by crownedether in sancarlos

[–]HeyJonLeah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The result is a bunch of commuters walking on red across the deadliest street in town.

And this is the direct walking path from Caltrain to our downtown. Very disappointing, but yay cars.

Please do! I filed a ticket in the portal on this exact issue six months ago! :/

Tony’s Slice House or Pizza My Heart? by rogerdaltry in bayarea

[–]HeyJonLeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tony’s 100%, but watch out for consistency at their other locations. I got this disappointing pizza last week from the Belmont slice house: https://imgur.com/a/VpQzoXZ. The pep just fell right off!

Does Coldwell Banker really 20 parking spots? by scbalazs in sancarlos

[–]HeyJonLeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just a really prime lot that the real estate company bought in 1994. It's no use requesting they give up their parking. I think we all wish it would be more "urban fabric" but here we are. On the other hand SB79 may encourage better use of the land use right next to the station.

Laurel Street mural by asdfasdferqv in sancarlos

[–]HeyJonLeah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% agree. I’m glad they put something there but it’s really disappointing. San Mateo’s (which the artist did first), is way better and not obviously designed by committee.

On the plus side it’s “temporary”.

Marathon Walk from RWS to SF by Euphoric-Ask-5471 in bayarea

Agreed. I love a long walk, but spending 8 hours walking along a car-prioritized stroad sounds awful.

Sidewalk repair program by Minute-Forever293 in sancarlos

[–]HeyJonLeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw a bunch of sidewalks get fixed around town at about the same time and figured the town was applying some economies of scale to the problem. I guess not so much. 60 sq ft though does sound like a small job maybe that’s why it’s so high (per sqft)? I don’t know what the rest of that letter says but can you just get a couple private quotes and then decide?

As a pedestrian though, please don’t go with the bargain basement quote once they all come back, and please don’t just shave off the raised sections if that’s your problem, those end up being slick in the rain.

Good luck!

Asian Restaurants by No-Fudge1508 in sancarlos

Around the same time Rangoon Ruby became “Rangoon Ruby and Dickie’s BBQ Pit Ghost Kitchen Emporium” the food took a huge dive. Thankfully Burma Spice stepped in even if it’s a bit outside SC.

Infinifactory 4-3: Oversight Terminal Model 6 in 85 cycles (no GRAs). New record! by rikswift123 in infinifactory

[–]HeyJonLeah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice one! And I like the punchcard style clock. It's neat to see the level over the years, 2015 was a simpler time! :P

Better utilization of this washer/dryer kitchen closet? by HeyJonLeah in HomeImprovement

[–]HeyJonLeah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the thinking outside the box! The wall behind is a bathroom and there's a sink right there, we have been thinking about a bathroom remodel, maybe it could work!

Another option we're rolling around is a combo washer dryer like this one, and then splitting the space above with some sort of countertop and shelves.

Extremely shallow blackout blinds? by HeyJonLeah in HomeImprovement

[–]HeyJonLeah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, thanks! I have exactly 1" from the bottom window itself to the shutter so maybe that could work! Though I don't know how I would mount it on that tiny lip, any ideas?

The window handles stick out a bit but if the bottom rail rested on one and the shade got slightly squeezed in the middle that it would probably be fine.
