hey if you're in chicago and want a cool treat please consider looking somewhere besides miko's italian ice.

it's ridiculous and shameful to fire someone for taking a basic safety measure that doesn't interfere with anythiny

ren and I also took the Connect BRT (also pretty Fast and Decent) out west to check out these huge catenary poles - some of the last remnants of the TMER&L mainline that once connected milwaukee to outlying cities across wisconsin with fast electric trains.

BOO!! photo thread!

milwaukee's Hop streetcar is actually pretty cool. a couple saturdays ago, @renzaro.com and i visited the city - a first for both of us.

frequencies weren't the greatest, but the vehicles were pretty nice & we moved quickly thanks to skilled operators. decently busy too!

Once again, this map both uses some artistic license and is based off real world events from Baltimore, Philly, and beyond! Feel free to ask about anything.

What if Baltimore had a legacy rapid transit system?

This is part 2 of my series exploring an alternate universe where that happens. In this map, we jump ahead to 1939, where the Great Depression and formation of the BTCO have shaken things up... Check it out :)

More maps are either coming soon/in the pipeline, so stay tuned.

Feel free to ask any questions!

What if Baltimore began building its rapid transit network near the turn of the 20th century like New York, Boston, or Chicago did?

In this map, I imagined the state of Baltimore's fictional rapid transit network as of 1914, and how it got there...

hello. i keep forgetting about this app, i’m sorry 😭

here are some shots around mount royal station on a rainy day. the light rail has been bustituted north of north avenue because a tree fell on the tracks. the mta is not good at handling it. 📸
