Definitely! There are several trains everyday that go directly from this station to CDG in ~3.5 hours, and we have a tram stop a two minute walk from our apartment, so it will make travel, especially with kids and luggage, much easier. Before, there was a somewhat convoluted bus transfer.

Yes, we were just talking about this this morning! It’s so satisfying to see useful infrastructure get built!

New tram line from Gare Sud de France train station to Montpellier city center opens on Saturday!

About half the high speed direct trains from Paris arrive at Gare Sud de France, so this is a huge advance in connecting a main transit hub to the city. And all trams and buses are free for residents!

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

Thank you. My dad also died from ALS 15 years ago, and his brother of it before him in 1997. Horrible disease. Makes me so mad about the research funding cuts knowing that more people will have to deal with it as a result.

ALS sucks. Sorry your family is affected by it too.

If you’re selling a set of six chairs, don’t be a jerk and list them with the price for one

The fact that you’re noticing it at all and posting about it when it’s been a longstanding thing and you’ve been to Europe before is what gave me that impression. I don’t think you’re endorsing/condemning/judging and I don’t think there’s anything “bad” about you noting it!

I also think you might just be a lil American-politics-brained lol. Which is fine, so am I (tho I’m trying to detox).

I think the Cabela’s shirt is just “here’s an old (camo) shirt; we’re selling it as vintage” vs. anyone caring about the brand. And that’s been happening for decades.

Chicagoland is a friendly, safe, vibrant, & fun place. I’m very happy my kids have grown up in the Rogers Park neighborhood of the city, & in Evanston. They’re both wonderful places.

But ICE is attacking us. People are doing everything possible to protect their neighbors. But it’s hard.

They fundamentally do not consider us whole people

We had 25 eggs in our house on Tuesday, and now we have 4.

The egg consumption is out of control in our house. My 3 and 5yo are now regularly eating 3-4 eggs every morning for breakfast.
