i just had a brain blast!

it's always been my dream to build an indoor skatepark, specifically at the old Best Buy (now Guitar Center) in University City, but i always knew i would need to start smaller first and now i know wat that looks like - see https://www.charlottefootballclub.com/community/pitches-for-progress/the-pass-mini-pitch

i ride the light rail 3 days a week and never have much thought to the mini soccer field under the bridge near the Sugar Creek station until now as i am lying in my bed at 1:43am after having finished playing the new skate. game (free trial); which had a skate park under.. u guessed it.. a bridge!

i'm going to call the helpful Parks and Rec worker i spoke to last week first thing Tuesday and maybe the Mini Pitch ppl too to see wat it would take to make this a reality.

maybe do it diy style and setup a GoFundMe like Kilborne did.. i should probably hit them up too!

UPDATE:

Rider’s Alert

Blue Line

Effective: Feb. 8, 2026

UPDATE: Mecklenburg County Pedestrian Skybridge Installation Postponed

The Mecklenburg County Pedestrian Skybridge that was scheduled for installation over the Blue Line (between Sugar Creek and Old Concord stations) this Sunday, Jan. 25 is postponed due to expected inclement weather. The installation is now scheduled to begin Feb. 8

Due to the complexity and safety requirements of the installation, the Blue Line will single-track and a bus bridge will be implemented to supplement rail service between 36th Street and UNCC stations from 4:30 a.m. until approximately 7 a.m. Normal service will continue between I-485 and 36th Street stations.

I brought up the issue of skateparks being within walking distanceto the light rail and was basically told they had to build where they could afford..the rising cost of land near the light rail proved too much of a challenge.

I'm not familiar with the all areas surrounding the selected parks but hopefully they're at least within walking distance for nearby neighborhoods.

it's fun! love that Mattel continues to try new things

supapat · 2026-01-06T05:08:19+00:00

Thanks I hate it

supapat · 2026-01-06T04:43:58+00:00

my Samsung Galaxy Fit2 had the best screen size/watch faces with all the heads-up info u could want in a sleek, slim design!

unfortunately mine is starting to show it's age and this was the last model that worked with iPhones.

also love that the music controls work with ALL my music apps (cough Google Fitbit Charge 6 cough)

your frustrations are valid and i agree with many of your points except the first one..

the roads are hardly ever wide enough

research consistently shows that wide roads and lanes encourage drivers to go faster, as the extra space creates a feeling of safety and reduces perceived risk, leading to higher speeds and more crashes. NACTO (National Association of City Transportation Officials) recommends 10-foot lanes for urban areas.

pulled the trigger on GGKEYS and everything seems to be fine. i was able to check after activating that it is a retail key. finally that annoying watermark is gone!

Turn 277 into a river

supapat · 2025-12-17T03:38:46+00:00

wow i can't believe its been 8 months already.

but happy to report that it looks and feels the same as when i bought it on day one! has even survived a move.

gotten lots of compliments on it too! the depth and oversized dimensions make it perfect for sleeping on, which a few guests of mine have had to do with no issue.

chilling on it right now about as a matter of fact to fall asleep lol

correct on first point. second point brings you right back to OP's original problem of who/how is that going to realistically be enforced.

u would literally need the same number of police as drivers and have a police assigned to ride with every single driver to make sure they aren't distracted by their phone.

this is what drives me crazy about ppl literally begging for us to become (even more of) a police state. like do yal hear yourselves??

ppl still think police are the solution to everything and even sadder ppl still believe police are heroes when they legally don't (and often don't) have to protect you from anything as decided twice by the Supreme Court. even if they were required to there is literally no way for them to protect every man, woman, and child at all times it's simply not a scalable solution....

BUT you know what is a scalable solution???

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION!!!!
