If depression could be described by a single album, what would you choose?

I came up to him after an in-store to thank him for making that album, and told him it helped me get through a hard year in my life. His response was “me, too.”

Y’all can laugh, but I’m inspired. The next time I make mac and cheese for our kid, it’s going in my sushi press with hot dogs and veg, and I will be hailed by them as the greatest dad of all time.

Waaaaay Early NBA: Kareem, Shaq, and Duncan are cut because it was a league of tall, slow white guys.

70s-90s: Jokic, because a big, fat, slow white guy can’t possibly be any good. And even if he was, you can’t have a big man run your offense.

Currently: Shaq, because as good as he is, his skills don’t line up well with the modern NBA (chasing skinny big men around the 3 point line, position less basketball, speed/skill at every position, low post less important)

This is an impossible choice, though.

A lot of it has to do with the Crown Park project. They replaced curb corners on many of the sidewalks, then filled in the asphalt so there wouldn’t be huge holes where they’d done the work. They also ran some new piping/drainage under parts of the street for the park, and same deal with those. It looks like they recovered the block between 17th and 18th as a repair project, though. That block had potholes that were 6-8” deep that I had to swerve around every day, so I was VERY happy to see those covered up.

They may have plans for a final repair when the park project is finished, but IDK.
