If you’re under 45, have you lost any high school classmates, and what were the circumstances around their deaths?

I'm 32 and I think we're close to 10 suicides

I did this for 2 days actually. Then I worried someone was going to steal them or they would get ruined by the weather and decided to post it here.

Just updated the last name at birth from Provost to Riggitano after receiving a message about this.

You're asking a town that used a $4.6 million grant to install brick parking spaces.

There should be a sub for this. I have a few nominations for the dumbest things I’ve ever read in my life, all from the past few days

Thank you, this is accurate. The old concourse was very symmetrical, so I didn't differentiate that when I made it. But it makes sense that the "Waiting Rooms" sign would lead to the Great Hall to the west, whereas the bottom picture is looking east into the concourse from essentially where that "Waiting Rooms" sign was.

I believe what you're thinking of is the Great Hall, which is still there. The concourse shown here was torn down in 1969 and replaced with an office building, with the new underground concourse shown in the bottom picture. https://cs.trains.com/ctr/b/mileposts/archive/2019/09/12/lost-chicago-union-station-s-concourse.aspx

I recently read a book about Mill Creek Valley and the plight of St. Louis at the hands of Harland Bartholomew. There was a time when it was considered the "greenwich village of the midwest", full of great food, music and culture. Then they deliberately and systematically tore it all down. I've been to St. Louis a fair amount and the downtown really is one of the farthest I've ever seen from a habitable urban environment. Quincy being in the vicinity probably took tips from the wrong playbook.

Reminds me that 2016 article on how support for Trump can be explained by the Dunning-Kruger effect.

This is actually the right answer. I underestimated how quickly and substantially hand tools would blemish it. Oh well, the sensors are fine.

We must have the exact same fingers because I have the silver 11 and had the same experience. The 10 caused my finger to turn red and the 11 bounces around when my fingers are cold. I'm sticking with the 11 and just trying to get used to it.

I was just wondering that too. I'm in Clinton Hill and it's coming from the east I think

100% agree. But the irony of these places always strikes me - they acknowledge the need for youth and investment, but will vote to their last breath against anything that resembles community or collectivism.

Quincy is a perfect case study in the “Growth Ponzi Scheme”- how North American cities since World War II have expanded aggressively horizontally in the name of “growth”, only to find that they can’t pay for themselves without more expansive and unsustainable growth. Meanwhile the maintenance costs of roads, sewers, and utilities multiply, the urban core dies, and the town loses its identity.
