the air in the burbs isn't always great either. every summer now i get so angry every time there's an air quality index warning in the maryland burbs saying i shouldn't take my son outside to play.
― some dude, Tuesday, 27 September 2011 18:07 (twelve years ago) link
some dude, Maryland has been subject to those air quality index warnings ever since they came into existence. At least for as long as I can remember.
In many, many cases suburban air is worse than the nearby cities. I'll be moving out to Cumberland or something. Peace.

not super, lived in and seen a good part of europe but never been to east asia/africa/south america. mostly just cause I've never had a lot of money to burn, feel like travel is the best thing you can do if you it.

way overpriced, crappy independent grocer
Overpriced compared to what, though
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, September 27, 2011 11:21 AM (Yesterday) Bookmark
Well, compared to regular bigger supermarkets and Trader Joe's, certainly, but also compared to other independent grocers like the produce or meat markets in various ethnic neighborhoods (they're small supermarkets, but they specialize in produce or meat).
A factor in their higher prices is probably their disadvantage in buying and distribution - though they are member of a regional wholesale network - but I wonder if the bigger reason might be related to their being on really expensive property.
Anyway, $6.50 for a box of cereal is about the norm there, and that considerably more than you would pay at any other grocery store in town.

I'm not saying that $6.50 is the mean price there, but that's what chocolate Cheerios cost the other day when I didn't buy them, and comparable cereals cost about the same.

Porches, Jaguars, Alfa Romeos. They also had a lot of influence on some early Volkswagons, Kharmann Ghias...I'm not sure if it was a former designer or someone moonlighting or what, may not have been the official design house, but the lines are def there.

I get confused because there's a design house but also a person to whom a lot of the iconic designs are attributed to
― (╯°□°)╯︵ mode squad) (dayo), Tuesday, 4 October 2011 15:04 (twelve years ago) link
tbh design houses are kind of a "head guy tells people broad strokes, accepts or vetoes their work, stuff goes out the door with his name on it" sort of thing
same with big time music producers, really

I think the service will do very well in paris (haven't looked into the costs) esp. since there's already a strong bike-share culture and this will be seen as a complement to that
