Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Washington D.C. is the only place I've ridden the subway and it was pretty bland. I hope that someday there will be a convergence of time and money to get to one of those places.
It would have been cool if Kansas City had kept their public transit system, but only a few tracks remain.
Actually, that would be hilarious -- determine destinations based solely on public transit.
I really want to go to Moscow, Hong Kong, & Sao Paolo after reading the descriptions of the subways there!
Why is it sick and disgusting, Cindy? I think of it as terribly unneccessary (I can mist my own tongue, thanks), but that's about it.
Because there are people not eating, while other people are paying to have their tongues misted with port. It's fetishizing (word?) food, at great expense, when food is something everyone needs. I have a cut off in my tolerance of the-good-life sort of stuff, I think. I don't think I'd make a very good rich person. None of this may be logical or supportable, it's just something that makes me feel a little sick.
What the hell would I do with a $750 atomizer? I can't even wear it on my head! What's so fuckin' great about that?

It was there when my dad was growing up - he used to talk about it all the time. Actually we have a few KC cars on the vintage care F-Market line here in SF. Also, streetcars from: St. Louis, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Kyoto, St. Petersburg, Milan and the English coast (an open air one - very fun. Looks like a boat. Probably some place like Brighton).

You could then stay at home and mist your own tongue while you eat brownies. Think of the money you'd save!

Fair point, if you can't wear it on your head it can't be so fuckin' great now can it?

I like the one from Nagasaki. It's from the 1920s, right? Or is that the one from Milan?
I love the F-Market line. It just (re)started running while I was living in SF. Some of the streetcars are really art deco-ish....

Sounds like you'd be a really good rich person.

People keep trying to start up light rail here but it's really hard to come up with a practical plan. The city is so spread out that every plan combines high cost with small coverage.
