Not sure I would call Grad School a diner. That said the Full Ride cheeseburger at Grad School may be the best burger I've ever eaten (not tried the Corvino/Ravenous counterpart, but want to!) I guess what is or is not a "diner" is a matter of more debate than I thought. Prefab type structure with a...

How the heck does Town Topic not count? That's as dinery a diner as ever dinered.

I walk on Baltimore between 12th and 14th several times a day, and so do at least five or six other people.

Well, there go my plans for a ska fusion band called Mighty Mighty Metrobus.

Tangential, but does it annoy anyone else that the Library stop is a lot closer to the Metro Center than the Metro Center stop?

Yeah, I was just referring to the beautiful-looking weather which was replaced by a haze of frozen precipitation this morning.

I can't get on board with removing the North Loop stop. It doesn't get a lot of traffic at the moment, but if and when that sea of parking gets developed it should, and having the stop there would seem to incentivize said development to some degree. So I say keep it.

I'm guessing that had to be yesterday, cause it sure doesn't look like that today!

A street having signs with different letters on it than it had before means racial justice is a higher priority than if the letters stayed the same?

Hot take.

I am somewhat sympathetic to that position, but if rejecting a poorly-thought-out change that wasn't run by the people impacted by it means we're all racists, bring on the nuclear holocaust because Trump is going to be leader for life and I don't want to live in this reality anymore.

You know what would have brought funding to help rebuild those urban communities? VOTING YES ON THE STREETCAR EXTENSIONS THEY OPPOSED

My suggestion of Truman was mostly tongue-in-cheek based on Truman's history of saying thing like, "Any man's as good as another as long he's not a n***** or a Chinaman," and then desegregating the military.

Count me as a yes. I've always loved the name. I failed to graduate from the highschool that borrowed it. That is just about the only street I would have objected to. If we got to propose an alternate, I'd maybe suggest Truman. Or any of the boring numbered streets. Anything east-west really, tying ...

Hyperloop is just the latest spunk-madness .. Just like "self driving cars": Don't get your heart set on those, either. "Self Driving" is decades away.

Just like flying cars have been for 60+ years...

Hyperloop operations is at least 7-10 years out. The near-term possibility is a test and certification track, if KC is selected. Wait now, the whole reason I was converted to a streetcar supporter was because you convinced me that nobody would ever spend money on unproven PRT tech that was way less...

Sigh.

I don't know, but City Journal isn't exactly known as a conservative hit-piece rag, which was my initial thought when reading that piece. It can't be that bad, right? Or perhaps excessive wokeness makes for shit public policy in the same way that excessive anything tends to.

That sounds right to me. Driving around San Antonio's highways, or the highways that run next to the highways, gets so confusing because there's an H-E-B and a Bill Miller and a Rudy's, and probably a Taco Cabana and a Whataburger at every exit. It's like living in Groundhog Day until you get far en...

They are closing and they are saying lack of parking is to blame. I dunno about that. I thought it was pretty bad. The sandwiches were very small for what u paid and the food wasn't that great to begin with. We will never get a true Jewish deli in the city What!? The one time I made it down there, ...
