Ontario: $102.2M to buy 3 trains for a 435 mile route. Michigan: $269M to add 11 miles of flex lanes.

Just to illustrate how far Timmins (pop. 41,000) is from Toronto (pop. 2.7M). Meanwhile we can't even get a train running from Ann Arbor to Traverse City let alone Detroit to Grand Rapids. The three train sets will cost $102.2 million. We're spending twice that to add a flex lane

Five shapes of apartment buildings, each with 60 homes. Top left, a wide block with doors off a long hallway, is the most common type built today in the US. Top center is common in Europe. Today we'll also look at a few other styles. Which do you prefer? 1/

Drone shots of the ongoing demolition of the United Artists Theater for another parking lot in downtown Detroit. I cannot fathom how political leaders actively encouraged and subsidized this.

Most silent-era film productions have been lost to time & hardly *any* material shot by Black filmmakers pre-1920 has survived. But recently, the earliest known footage produced by a Black film company was found, hiding in plain sight, in our collections. go.loc.gov/VNWH50L1gre

Today, in a city where more than a third of the residents are impoverished, billionaire Dan Gilbert is asking Detroit for an additional $60 million in tax breaks for his long-delayed high-rise project at the Hudson's site.

The @SEGA Dreamcast VMU was top tier. Had way too many of them. 😳
After many years and many watches, I still till this day completely merge the Insidious and Conjuring universe as one. Ask me to describe one, you'll get one fractured story describing two movies. 😳

Spooky season tip. Oversized blankets that touch the ground, allows demonic dust mites with a grudge to reach you that much easier.
