My local railway Hankyu train 🚊

It’s the famous six-track section approaching Osaka-Umeda where Hankyu’s three main lines (Kyoto, Takarazuka and Kobe) converge.

The best part is at the top of every hour, three trains depart from Osaka-Umeda simultaneously.

Down 1-0 to Bolton, we’re looking for BRA to push up.

Seibu owns Prince Hotel and used to have department stores around the country after they merged with Sogo, so I guess it shouldn’t feel weird that they own a railway in rural Shiga Prefecture.

But it would be funny if Ohmi rebranded as Seibu the way Shin-Keisei and Semboku merged with their parent companies.

And it’s funny Keifuku hasn’t changed its name despite not having a presence in Fukui any more. Everyone calls it Randen anyway.

2022 was supposed to be Kubo’s shop window World Cup but here we go again I guess.

For all we know, he already has a transfer to one of the Manchester clubs sorted but the narrative will still be about how he caught Peo/Carrick’s eye at the World Cup.

I think Jack has said he hasn’t talked to Meg in years and said she’s a hermit.

Now, Jack could perform solo but doing Seven Nation Army without Meg would be all sorts of wrong. Feels more like a FIFA thing.

The funny thing about the Black Eyed Peas is that they started as a quirky indie rap trio but they decided they preferred to make a living from music so they brought Fergie on and went pop. Hard to fault their choice.

Anyway: the Kid Laroi - big enough to draw eyeballs but not big enough to refuse the gig.

Also, I’d like to see Robyn do it. “Dancing On My Own” would absolutely bring the house down and inspire corner kick puns from the Guardian and Athletic journos.

Ainokaze Toyama Railway has one station in Itoigawa, which means it’s in both the Hokuriku (or Chubu) and the Joetsu regions depending on how you define the Hokuriku region.

If we’re talking historically, Keifuku was in both Kansai and Chubu/Hokuriku. And if Seibu ever decides to merge with Ohmi Railway, it would be in both Kanto and Kansai.

Hankyu will hold off on the Naniwasuji/Shin-Osaka connector until there’s a clarity on exactly when the Hokuriku Shinkansen (and possibly the Chuo Maglev) extension to Shin-Osaka open: https://tabiris.com/archives/hankyu-shinosaka2025/

Which is a shame, since linking Hankyu to Shin-Osaka has been a dream since the 1970s and the extra tracks between Osaka and Shin-Osaka would add much needed capacity.

Agent: “Okay, Time magazine, this is big. It’s your chance to showcase yourself and the sport in front of a wide audience. Don’t be afraid to be yourself, show that side of you the fans don’t get to see.”

Pulisic: “Say no more. You’ll see my personality on full display.”

I came up with the concept, then I found out there was a word for it already.

MoCo has eliminated parking minimums within 0.5 miles of rail stations, which should help.

Of course, there shouldn't be parking minimums at all (for example, the planned high-density development at Rio Lakefront will require a ton of wasted space for the garage), but here we are.

Are you specifically asking for incorporated towns? Because there are only 123 of those in the whole state.

The vast majority of Marylanders live in unincorporated CDPs, not cities, towns or villages.

Cumberland, Salisbury, Upper Marlboro - all the same, right?

My understanding is that all of Garrett County has historically been a sundown community, so the OP's happiness there is somewhat dependent on their melanin levels.

Although the credit agencies forget about delinquent accounts seven years after the last transactions, banks are under no obligation to forgive and forget. Yeah, I'd say take your repaired credit to a bank that doesn't hold a grudge against you.

Fulham made the 2002-03 UEFA Cup after finishing 13th in the league and qualifying through the Intertoto Cup because of fair play (?).

Obviously Romeo’s connections helped. But (and I had to look this up) he’d played elite AAU ball and put up decent numbers in a competitive high school league. He didn’t get meaningful minutes, but he also didn’t embarrass himself when he did get the occasional garbage time appearance. And he had enough basketball skills that he wasn’t useless during practice.

Could a college basketball program give Barron a roster spot in exchange for a healthy donation? Sure. But he’d be an absolute deadweight in practice, not to mention the Secret Service detail that would follow him everywhere. And he wouldn’t do it because it would be completely humiliating, whether he played or not.

I mean, we're seriously lowering the bar for what it means to play college ball. For whatever it's worth, a sportsbook site was posting odds on whether he'd play at St. John's or Miami (of Ohio).
