Now that the Superman set is in full swing we should reminisce about the Spiderman set again
Does anyone else remember in 2006 when Euclid Avenue was so vacant that it was dressed up to look like New York City for Spiderman 3? I found some old pictures I took (a short thread)
The Rockefeller Building is arguably one of the most historic in Cleveland and we are just letting the facade crumble onto the sidewalk
We are reaching peak bird migration in many parts of the United States. Remember to dim your lights for birds at night so that they can safely travel without becoming disoriented. 🧵

COP28 is now on the verge of complete failure. The world desperately needs to phase out fossil fuels as quickly as possible, but this obsequious draft reads as if OPEC dictated it word for word. It is even worse than many had feared. It is “Of the Petrostates, By the Petrostates…
Anyone who claims to be a climate leader but doesn't prioritize public transportation and better land use is kidding themselves. intelligenttransport.com/transport-news…
“Today 50% of people across the planet live in cities. In 25 yrs 70% will. Cities are where climate action needs to happen. Sprawl is not the answer.” - @MayorGinther @COP28_UAE Columbus OH is updating its zoning code (after 70 yrs) planning for density & 50% growth in transit.
Our new analysis of land use change in @CuyahogaCounty, home of @CityofCleveland, Ohio, published today in Urban Ecosystems. We trace how urbanization has impacted our native forests over the past 220 years, providing context for current growth. Highlights in thread:
