Glad it’s not closing. It’s moving further east on Dundas. It was a favourite location for end of school year and other parties when I was working at a school in the east end. #ldnont

End of an era for beloved London diner (don't worry, it's not closing)
The iconic red Malibu Restaurant sign is being taken down from the east London building, and its owners are bringing it with them to a new home.

Put another way, we’ve been convinced that cars represent “freedom” in places where we’ve built car dependency. That dependency took away our freedom, and the car industry convinced us that we could ONLY get it back if we paid whatever increasing costs of car ownership they demand.
Some “freedom.”
Some “freedom.”
Never forget, car dependency isn’t freedom.
Some might ask “what’s more free than cars?”
Choices.
Choices are more free than car dependency.
It’s not a hard concept.
I’m not pitting cars against any other single mode of transport.
I’m rejecting design that creates dependency on just one mode.

Posts about urban biking in Dutch cities are routinely replied to with comments like “well, they have the big advantage of being relatively flat.”
The Dutch also have the big advantage of not constantly making excuses about why they can’t make clearly smarter city-making decisions. #Leadership
