"The city owned land has been nicknamed 'Tunnel Park'..."
In fact, the #archives of the Hartford City Parks contain a halftone printing block for Tunnel Park. Those blocks were used for the publication of the Parks annual reports. From here I can't tell you which year, but what this means is...

I live in a city within a city, which is a concept I don't quite understand. One consequence is that I can't vote for the big city's mayor. So when an ad appeared in my FB feed for one of the two candidates - whose half brother is actively causing harm to this country - I reported it. No regrets.

I believe this was covered once on Car Talk. Answer was 'yes,' if I recall correctly.
A reader asked: "I love browsing TikTok while I’m doing my business. Will this give me constipation or hemorrhoids?" Here’s what we know.

Amazes me that with all the info FB gathers on us, they can't figure out that someone has died and that maybe there's no need to wish them a happy birthday.

I've collected a bunch of photos for #FridayFlowers, but not getting much of a following. Today I'm going for #FridayFauna, though not intending it to be a regular feature. Bambi and her mom, as viewed on my bike ride last Saturday.

Per You Snooze and Whirrled Rapport, I moved from the #19 place to live to...one that didn't even make the list. Oof. As I have been rather impressed by the cycling infrastructure in my new location, though, I'm more convinced than ever that they just pull names out of a hat.

And take note, #Hartford. This goes for several miles and passes *gasp* businesses. It also snows here, so don’t try that excuse.
(Also, the buses have WiFi.)

My new city is earning points w/ cycling infrastructure. This is a US Route w/ a 2-way protected bike lane & an island for people to wait for the bus. Bus doesn’t have to stop in bike lane. Even a bench while you wait! Sure, it’d be nice if there was cover for rainy/cold days, but it’s something.
