New St Thomas arena is absolutely awesome! Only a couple small notes:
- $25 is a little high for the cheapest ticket. (And they advertise it as $13 cause that’s the group ticket price). I’d suggest a cheaper standing room ticket around $15
- alcohol sales are only in the suites/club

“CVS has done nothing for years. The clock has run out.”
@mollycoleman.bsky.social absolutely hits the nail on the head, gets 7-0 vote to demolish CVS. This is a HUGE step for Midway & I’m so happy Molly is our CM!

I think @zachlowenba.bsky.social is still the only NBA reporter to directly reference the actual CBA language that makes clear that the Leonard deal simply being clearly beyond market value is, in and of itself, a violation of Circumvention rules.

Feel a little silly not knowing but I believe this invite for a Gold Line shared use path tour is the first I'm hearing of a new path being added alongside the Gold Line guideway?
Can't find any other info. Any fellow bike nerds with a map, somehow? www.metrotransit.org/Gold-Line-Bi...
