Can we talk about how trash this new iOS is? You know what I love when I get a notification? Straining my eyes to read it because the background is blurry

For those asking about the new trains: nearly all the trains are still being built. They have to go through rigorous testing in multiple locations. The first trainsets will begin testing here in this spring. All the new trainsets are scheduled to be in service by the end of this year. 💚🤎🤍

What even is the fucking point of opening a brick and mortar store if you need an employee for each customer in the store just to unlock everything
Walgreens just opened a location across from Barclays Center and honestly I’m shocked they still construct modern stores but the majority of everything is locked in cases.
Just go back to full the old school counter style store where a guy gets your items off a giant shelf using a sliding ladder.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

If you go to a suburban mall, you will probably have to park outside and walk in. You don’t expect to drive in to your store.
But for some reason in urban areas it’s considered an injustice if you can’t park directly in front of the store you want to go to.
