It’s been about a week since I came down from the mountain and like any mountaintop experience, it changes you. Of course this was good for me. (Having company, good company is always good too ;)). Meanwhile, just wanted to bullet out some stuff that’s been going on and point you to some cool stuff […]

The first time I encountered the word beltline in terms of transportation, it was referring to the Raleigh Beltline. The Raleigh Beltline is an urban loop highway that was built in various stages and with various standards over the past 50 years. I have many fond memories of commutes and various adventures that were found after I took […]

When I go home to Greensboro, this is what’s around the corner. My little edge city. (Image from a YouTube screenshot). My whole writing existence, at least at this blog and a little bit at my one just before that, has been making sense and defining the cities I’ve lived in, against how they, and […]

I’m finally getting around to doing a fantasy transit map. My inspiration? My trip home from D.C. to Greensboro via the train. It takes approximately 8 hours to do it in the daylight and 5.5 hours to do it in the middle of the night. And those are the only choices, just the two trains […]
OnlyFans remains the largest subscription platform in the creator economy, but a growing number of subscribers are quietly reallocating parts of their monthly budgets to competing fan platforms. That shift is rarely about brand loyalty and almost always about structure: how a site prices access, how it handles refunds, how it appears on a statement, […]
Thoughts and reflections as I turn 40 this week, and learn how to dwell at peace in space. In my fifth week of working in mall retail for the first time, I have learned that I am excellent at selling things. Actual things, like soap shaped like balls. And sometimes pink Since my last email where […]
I mentioned in a prior post that I do a fair amount of walking and I no longer have my car now that I’m in DC. I wanted to break that down and help folks getting started here without a car to understand how car-free life works. This is very D.C. specific, but I used […]
The keys to my commute. Yes, that includes my headphones and my library card. There’s a reason I walk around with my DC SmartTrip card hanging around my neck. And I post time-lapse Instagrams and such of the KC Streetcar working well. Why I wish I could park my car for good and why I […]

Would you like to put your business in front of a popular urbanist media platform that has a targeted ad base, that is willing to click and see […]
I’m breaking my inspiring person rules today, to highlight someone I’ve only met virtually. Yet, when I read their writing, I feel like I already know them. Plus, pretty soon, I plan to fix the fact that we only know each other through our blogs. That person would be Kaid Benfield, currently in transition from […]
I wanted to discuss a comment about cities that came up in the debate/ town hall last night. Note, this is not a post endorsing one or the other, although I’ll say that I’m with her. But the issue brought up is one that trips up a lot of people when it comes to talking […]

I used to hate GIFs. Not the software itself, but all the memes it begat. I definitely didn’t think they had a place in formal PR communication and most certainty not in a place like the Smithsonian. And then I saw these Via Smithsonian Libraries Tumblr Imagine history coming alive at your very fingertips. Imagine […]
