The other option is the documentary shoot with two competing hosts, one talking about the flora and fauna in this meadow, and a more belligerent John Cleese butting in to steal the mic to talk about a battle fought here centuries ago. It then goes back and forth, escalating violently.

I remember after the 89 earthquake, the power was out and me and my roomies all walked down to Geary Street and the one open pub had a Coleman lantern hanging from the rafter and the place was packed, and everyone was drinking as fast as they could. Good times.

Also the signal timing for getting to/from the center islands needs to prioritize pedestrians. On International the wait times were 1-2 minutes for those 1/2 crossings & even w no traffic around. As such riders got accustomed to crossing against the signal, which was associated w at least 1 death.
