St Louis Union Station is a behemoth of a structure. When it opened in the 1890s, it was the largest and busiest train station in the world. Sadly, trains stopped running here in the late 1970s. Now it’s a hotel & entertainment complex, and home to the STL Aquarium

A few years ago, the City gave the owners of the Small City Taphouse a grant to support their brewery expansion & exterior renovations. The new windows went in a couple years ago, but they’re just now doing the exterior facade work.

St. Louis’s most iconic landmark is the Gateway Arch, but before the arch, it was the Eads Bridge, and rightfully so. It opened in the 1870s and is the oldest bridge crossing the Mississippi River in the US. It carries vehicles on the upper deck and MetroLink rail on the lower

Even though it has some beautiful buildings, and pretty good urban form, and not many parking craters, downtown St Louis kinda sucks. The city shines in its neighborhoods. There’s just not much activity happening down here at all.

I finally got around to downloading all my aerial shots from St. Louis this past weekend. Unfortunately, most of downtown St. Louis is restricted air space due to the nearby airport, so this is the best angle of downtown I could get.

The main reason I came up to the Loop was to ride this stupid trolley.
It only runs Thursday-Sunday, from like 11am-7pm, and only once per hours. Oh and it’s not climate controlled. This might be the most useless form of public transit I’ve ever been on lol. But it’s free!

“Too large and dense for the historic district”
The Cleveland Landmarks Commission approved a proposal to build a new, six-unit apartment building on historic Hessler Road. Several longtime residents of the street opposed the project, saying that it was too large and dense for the historic district.

Says the guy who killed a federally-funded passenger rail project and oversaw a drastic decrease in public transit funding while he was governor.
It’s time for conservatives to stop burying their head in the sand when it comes to climate change. Climate change is real. So, what are reasonable reforms to begin making a positive difference?
Looking fwd to discussing this and more with

If Haslam wants to build a dome in Brook Park, and pay for it all privately, go ahead! But if there’s public money in the deal, I think it should be downtown.

I love coming across old defunct railroad infrastructure. This is the old Delmar Station built by the Wabash Railroad in 1929. MetroLink has a station in the same spot today, as it uses the old Wabash right-of-way, but the station building is sitting unused.

There's so much talk about the Great Lakes and northern Ohio benefiting from being a "climate refuge" in the decades to come, but I suspect intense storms like this will become ever more frequent, and we shouldn't pretend that we will escape negative effects of climate change.

A thing I appreciate about Cleveland after visiting recently Detroit is that we didn’t destroy a bunch of our business districts to widen our main arteries like Detroit did with Michigan, Gratiot, etc. You don’t really see any intimate commercial districts like this in Detroit.

It took me about 25 minutes to walk from the CLE Amtrak station to Tower City to get to the Rapid. Not ideal, especially with luggage.
I’d love a better pedestrian connection to Mall C. Or, for the WFL line to actually run. Or, ideally, relocating the Amtrak station back to TC.

Why do northern Ohioans so often tend to go south for vacation in the summer (notably Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, OBX, Florida)? Why not northern Michigan, the UP, Minnesota? It’s so much more pleasant going north this time of year than to the south.

Toledo’s Amtrak station is pretty unique. It opened in 1950, making it one of the last major rail stations to be built in the US, so its Modernist style is one that you typically don’t see with train stations.
