I'm looking forward to connecting with people in this space. If you're into Black culture, urbanism, transit, music, travel, books, and dark humor and following my journey of being a new homeowner to my old house then feel free to connect with me.
Glad to see Connecticut stepping up to help Thanksgiving travelers by increasing service on the Hartford Line…especially considering how stressful and tenuous air travel has been.

Tower Avenue’s streetlights are out thru Keney Park, the worst place to have no lights. Between the potholes and the random wildlife it has become Hartford’s version of the Merritt Parkway.

Glad that Subway Builder is a thing and optimistic about updates and city additions. I feel like this game (which sounds too elementary of a word for what it is) helps bridge the gap between activists and folks in the field between dreams and reality

I want to like Jon Stewart on The Daily Show but I don’t like how because he gets one day a week we get stuck in limbo on having a real host.

This probably would have a better rate of return than my retirement plan.
I started a swear jar the day Trump was sworn in. Tomorrow I will post a photo of the Porsche I am buying.

Roughly 10% of CT residents rely on food stamps, with about 34% of Hartford residents rely on them. We need to find ways to support them and increase access to fresh food in our cities!

360,000 CT residents get food stamps. Why the government shutdown could take that away
The food shutdown also would impact grocery stores that could lose an estimated 5 to 10% of business as nearly 10% of all state residents currently receive food stamps, officials said.

Well if Albany is getting Metro-North service, the Governor might as well electrify the Hartford Line so we can get direct service to NYC without the need to change locos at New Haven.

Metro-North to extend service to Albany, competing with Amtrak service
Gov. Hochul says the expansion will partially fill in for reduced Amtrak service as the national railway repairs the East River rail tunnels heading into Manhattan.

I miss living in a city with a grid system because hearing a block number and a street would allow me to locate it. #Baltimore

I don't say much about that city at the end of 91 with that Ivy League university but I do appreciate it's Union Station and both of the Dunkins that are on the app, so I can hit the downstairs one during a transfer. I wish Hartford Union had more to offer other than the Subway smell.
New Haven Union Station has TWO Dunkin’s!! The one downstairs was closed for the day, with a sign telling folks to visit the one upstairs! Sooo New England!! 😂🚆🍩☕️

A shame of losing local journalism is that reported news is generally copied from a press release with no context or fact-checking or confirmation. Prime example, news about the Hartford Line.

The 20 minute layover on a through train between HFD and points south of NHV for the locomotive switch makes me think I’m in the olden days
Meanwhile Hartford Line trains are scheduled to take up to 8 minutes to go the one mile from New Haven State Street to New Haven Union station

Figured out a Hartford Line hack…fares went up recently to $8.75 from HFD to New Haven, but Amtrak sells tickets for $8 and they are valid on all Hartford Line trains. It works to State Street, haven't tried it from Union to Union.

Called 311 because my trash didn't get picked up…then no one answered 311 because they were closed in the middle of the day, then called DPW and got no answer, called the mayor's office and now we wait.

Just watched the show Ghosts, the American one, and I was pleasantly surprised. Surprised enough to binge the whole thing so now I wait for the new season.

I'm just a man, waiting for an email back from Hartford DPW. Maybe I will get a response before the new year.

I find it odd how the state rep who doesn't even represent Hartford but does more than most of the Hartford delegation loses a lawsuit against the city after getting attacked and the police fumbled the ball.
