I alternate between despairing at how many cars are in Boston against the fact that when I bought my e-bike 3.5 years ago I never saw other people on them
And now I see 3-4, often parents w kids, every time I leave the house
The molehill is expanding

If you're an Economist subscriber (or not) and you cycle and are into this story btw, please do share it far and wide, because I'm trying to prove that there's a giant audience for urbanism!

on the dating apps i've used recently that show adverts, plenty of fish and veggly, the ads are overwhelmingly for crypto and gambling and, besides giving the apps a scammy feel, that just makes me wonder on either the dearth of other advertisers or what advertisers think of the user base

Last month we celebrated the two year anniversary of Oonee Hudson Square with local BID.
