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)

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. 🧵

At the @APTA_info conference, a Vancouver, Canada public transit planner said that they keep increasing frequencies to address overcrowding, but it just induces more ridership so the crowding comes back. We haven't begun to saturate the market for fixed route bus service in…
