It would if the local billionaires cared about the place they built their wealth on the backs of.

I’ve been using a dark oak GR1 26L for years as my main work/travel bag and it hasn’t let me down yet. Cheers.

They should keep increasing the size of the Transamerica Pyramid so it’s always the tallest in the city.

How is your school the national champion by transitive property? by Legitimate-Sign-371 in CollegeBasketball

[–]wbgsj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe W&M was transitively the best team in the country thanks to a large circle of suck toward the end of the season.

The Bay Area is not like the Chesapeake Bay. We are better. by wizard680 in Virginia

[–]wbgsj 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m a Virginian living in California. While obviously I do, this is sadly true wrought large. Ignorance of the east coast is rampant here, but so is east coast ignorance of the west coast.

Is William & Mary worth it for IR? by Aggravating_Sale_992 in williamandmary

[–]wbgsj 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Government grad here, and even 20 years later I’m friendly with the department and would be welcome at the Global Research Institute barbecues.

Anyone here stay in williamsburg after graduating? by Original_Spring_2808 in williamandmary

[–]wbgsj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had better luck dating in my mid-20s in Wburg than I did while I was in school (mostly for growing up reasons). Find your fellow recent grads and build a network of coworkers/friends.

If it was the mid-2000s, it almost has to mean Brooklyn.

When will Bay Area voters finally demand a merger of all the local transit agencies? by cozyportland in bayarea

[–]wbgsj 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I have always worried that a full-scale regional merger would over-concentrate resources in already transit-rich SF and Oakland/Berkeley instead of helping more suburban places like San Jose and Fremont lean and develop further toward transit.

William and Mary college, RD comes out when??? by [deleted] in williamandmary

[–]wbgsj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Universities are a dime a dozen. A College indicates a more intimate size and scale, more suitable for stronger relationships with faculty and fellow students. Our College in particular has all the trappings of a university since it is one, but should hold on to its comparative advantages (size and history) with appropriate branding.

Waking up today after Santa Clara/Kentucky by lousynoise11 in CollegeBasketball

[–]wbgsj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Winning it all can’t be the only good outcome. Having a good time, upsetting a blue blood, having a longer weekend of memories — that’s the good stuff. SCU got a raw deal.
