i assume they had like numbers or something to sell the whole project but the more hype i hear the weirder it sounds to me that having a train rather than a bus is gonna make that many more people want to ride down university
especially if slower
i will eventually enjoy not having to be cooped up on a bus for the ride, but still, transport is transport
― j., Sunday, 18 May 2014 23:27 (ten years ago) link
some ppl that are psyched for the train are also ppl that would never countenance riding a bus w/poors so there's that
― gbx, Monday, 19 May 2014 00:29 (ten years ago) link
haha do they think the poors are just gonna keep chooglin along on the 16
one of the commenters on that article made the number of riders, at least in potential throughput, sound quite a bit larger based on the numbers. but maybe it's just a psychological/design thing. i don't think anything of hopping on the blue line when it's accessible to me, but even after years of riding the bus it's still like, a thing, riding a bus.

a 48-minute run
Metro Transit officials note that most passengers will not be taking the Green Line as a commuter rail most days, and the vast majority of trips will take place within shorter segments of the corridor.
i guess that's true about shorter segments, if you consider like frogtown to campus or midway to downtown 'segments'. but how are 16 and 50 riders not going to be riding the train as a commuter rail??

gotta admit exuding mouth and nose clouds seems like a truly novel food-effect, hopefully it will catch on and earn a mass-produced variant in the rolling food labs thread

deep fried pickles with chocolate dipping sauce what the everloving fuck
the regular old deep fried pickles at the fair are great

Things I eat at the fair every year: jerk chicken roti from Harry Singh's (because I don't get to his actual restaurant often enough), deep fried pickles (gtfo with chocolate and powdered sugar though), deep fried turkey sandwich, and an andouille from Sausage by Cynthia. And I really love the stuffed green pepper (from the little hut that's shaped just like one.)

Depends on if there are a ton of really good Caribbean restaurants where you are now? Mpls really has no others. (I've been following him to various locations since the 80s.)

Aw man, then I guess remorse might be appropriate. It's an overly-lit hole in the wall, and there's no beer license - he makes his own ginger beer and peanut punch, and there's Ting! - but the food is incredible, the hot sauce is serious, and there's soca on the cassette player. Pretty much heaven in MN imo.
