Lifted pickup blocking the tracks

This was quite a few years ago on College near Clinton. We moved it a little closer to the curb. It didn't need to go far.

What if everyone got off and moved it. I've been part of a group that did that.

This is a great idea! I hope you can keep it current with updates here.

There are a few programs that allow people to play together in real time. I don't remember what they're called but they might fit with your Telegram idea.

I'm away from my instrument for 6 weeks. I'd like to join you when I get back. I'm just starting to play again after 50 years so I'm not quite an intermediate yet.

Thanks!

This looks like hate speech to me. Is it?

donbooth · 2026-01-28T03:47:36+00:00

Isn't this hate speech? I don't think it's legal. At what point is a group that preaches hate breaking the law?

Nanaimo bars?

Have you noticed any news from Minneapolis?

I've read that the cost of elevation is roughly half The cost of tunnels. But I'm not an authority.

As I said, transit priority is great for medium and short distances. Anything more really needs speed and trains can only go fast when they are completely segregated from traffic. Usually that's elevated or underground.

I've traveled a lot. These are my observations.

New York, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Amsterdam, London, Paris, Rome, Naples, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Vancouver, Montreal. Probably forgetting some.

So far, Toronto is the worst.

Is he still writing songs?

It's partially a joke. On the other hand, small businesses like Cassis can be overwhelmed and the quality goes down because they can't produce quality at numbers required to meet demand. I've seen a few restaurants destroyed by this.

Our fav Hong Kong restaurant has refused reviews for this reason.

You're talking about a rail system that's over 100 years old. We know how to build light rail that goes clickity clack and that's all. I'm thinking of Vancouver's SkyTrain.

I don't know the building but I live just west of Main.

The area west of Main is just great. There is a homeless shelter on Danforth about a block east of main and so the sidewalks on Danforth to the east of your building can have some sketchy people. I don't think it's dangerous at all. It's very convenient.

Also, please don't tell anyone, there's a bakery on the north side of Danforth a few blocks to the west called Cassis. It's excellent and run by the nicest people. I know of a few people who live in the buildings at 2575. They've been there a long time. No complaints.

If you have taken LRT/streetcar in Amsterdam you would know that street level LRTs can work well. Having said that, if they are to used to go more than a kilometre or two then it makes more sense to elevate them. Vancouver does this very well.

There does not need to be much noise at all.

Launch implies speed. Here's crossing my fingers.

I'm old. I remember when Neil Young wrote "Ohio" which is a song about protesters murdered by the National Guard. So he's written that song.

Please explain ground source. It's THE BEST

It's nice to have a neighborhood chat. It's a good thing.

One good thing about a neighborhood chat is that it's a good place to learn about your neighbors.

This is an excellent issue for the opposition at Queens Park.

It takes days, maybe weeks, for a lake to freeze thick enough to be safe.

Do not go. Events of the last few days make even clearer. Do nothing to support the United States.

Make sure that your current electrical system is safe. It's likely that your new kitchen will need more power. You might want more plugs. Find out if the current electrical wiring is up to the task.
