Last week was LA, this week let's look at OC!
✅Buses are clean and fast
❌Buses come once every 40+ minutes
❌Most routes are East-West or North-South, so you'll probably need to transfer... and wait another 40+ minutes

We rewatched Volcano, one of our favorite disaster flicks, recently. It holds up surprisingly well.
Key to the story is the Red Line (now D) extension.
This fictional extension was preparing to open... in 1997.
Better late than never!

Would love to see this reformed. It's so arbitrary.
"Today, there are roughly 23,000 street vendors across New York City – but nearly three-quarters operate without a license because of arbitrary caps set decades ago...
That’s a failure of government – and it leaves everyone, especially immigrants, vulnerable to scapegoating"

Opinion: Fixing NYC’s street vending chaos is a moral obligation – and a simple one
A newly amended City Council bill will create a regulatory system that balances incentives with enforcement and builds dignity for street vendors.

Congrats to Kansas City on their streetcar expansion!
We rode it earlier this year. Free fares made it really easy and low-stress for an out-of-towner, and it took us from Amtrak right to our hotel (give or take a couple blocks)!

We walked through NYC's West Village on Halloween once. Closed to traffic.
The feeling of safety was amazing. No threat of being maimed or killed if you carelessly wandered a few steps to the left.

Halloween is the one night of the year kids get to take over the neighbourhood - but when it comes to the risk of being hit by drivers, it's also by far the most dangerous.
