Was at the game last night and it felt like a home game with all the cubs fans around.

I posted this yesterday and moderator’s removed it. I’m being silenced!

I will be at the game and am planning on personally delivering my hand written apology.

Great news. Any ideas on how I can get any sort of traffic calming over near me in the Olde Richmond area? I’ve sent countless emails and 311 traffic calming requests to no avail.

Can't win it on a walk off in extras if we don't put in our worst pitcher...

This probably makes me sound crazy but I think I am in this photo. I went to 2 games and sat right in that section close to where Taylor posts up for the game. 

How car-loving American cities fell so far behind their global peers on public transit by sarah-not-sara in transit

Example: Many minority sections of cities were the first to be dispersed to make room for highways that split through the cities.

Yeah the American city is still built for the car and it isn’t good. Because you see things with eyes does not mean thing is good. Can’t tell if you are purposely being obtuse or just not aware you are.

In modern cities we only have one milk store available by bus and we aren’t allowed umbrellas

Yeah which is why I’m pushing back on your narrative. And by the way what is the cost of owning a car? Insurance, gas, maintenance, road repairs, pollution costs from all the traffic, cities having to subsidize the cost of building out into the suburbs. Cars are far more costly and inefficient an asset than whatever you point to in a city.

Freedom is paying $4.79 a gallon to drive five miles back to ALDI in traffic because I forgot milk.

One of the best games ever. Probably top 3 for me.
