And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Looks like the downtown mall has some competition.
I went to the Stonefield tree lighting tonight and was so impressed. There were so many kids and families there, and they even gave out free light-up glasses and necklaces etc. Had Elsa and Anna, Eli Cook, and even Santa. Free and family-oriented. We need more of that!

As travelers head to the airports this holiday season, the U.S. government wants them to rethink their travel checklists, their behavior — and also, their outfits. It's a part of a new campaign by Sean Duffy, the secretary of transportation, that he called “The Golden Age of Travel Starts With You.”

The stats here are horrific. Deaths caused by vehicles striking pedestrians rose 70 percent between 2010 - 2023. Mostly on multi-lane roads that cut through poor neighborhoods and fading commercial strips. High speeds and larger vehicles are also killing people at a higher rate.
