Perspective from a Small Town

Sat, 27 Feb 2010 12:25:00 -0500

marco:

“Since businesses are obliged by zoning restrictions to locate far away from residential areas, most Americans drive to every store they visit. This means that store visits are often discrete trips that must be undertaken consciously and planned out ahead of time. As a consequence, shoppers will want to visit stores that carry the most diverse inventory—Wal-Mart, Costco, et al.—and avoid shops that specialize in one particular kind of good—the local paint store or flower shop, for instance.”

— [Why Conservatives Should Care About Transit](http://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2009/04/209)

I grew up in Collingswood, New Jersey. One of those towns that has a quaint little Main St. (We call it Haddon Ave.). I got sent to the market when I was a kid to go get things for my mom. I walked to Wawa to get a soda, or a sandwich from the deli. (Wawa’s there are quite different from the convenience store/gas station thing they’ve become as they’ve expanded). Some of my favorite Saturdays as a teenager were spent hopping on the PATCO high speed line and going to South Street in Philadelphia, or hopping the gambler’s express to Atlantic City and bussing over to Ocean City.

I have always maintained that the one problem that really plagues Richmond, VA and probably tons of communities around the nation is the fact that you have to drive everywhere. Typically, my argument is based on the accessibility of nightlife (no need to have a designated driver if everyone can take the train home). I’d never thought about the downfall of the local store as a result of the lack of public transportation. In fact, I’m going to add it to my arsenal the next time I’m complaining about being the DD.

Selected reblogs from today’s Tumblr announcement that reblogging long text posts now defaults to a link to said post:

wait what. i don’t like this ok.

i dont know how i feel about this.

i dont like this. i’m too lazy to go to ppls pages to read long posts. which means i’m probably going to stop reading the few tl;dr posts that i read now.

tumblr, you turned into shit.

I hope we can turn this off. No offence Tumblr staff, but it’s shit.

thats okay, I figured out how to work around it ;)

Already hating it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO[…]

This kind of sucks, IMO.

are people just too lazy to scroll these days? IT’S NOT THAT HARD.

I apologize to my friends at Tumblr because I love what you do and I recommend our users to use Tumblr when starting a blog, but…. you guys seem to be increasingly out of touch with your community.

LOL, etc.

where’s my cheese, etc.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 19:33:49 -0500

Went to my first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class tonight here.

I decided to get into it because a old co-worker of mine lost about 30 pounds learning jiu-jitsu, and I’m getting fat.

I’m already sore. My legs are tired from trying to keep the guard, and my biceps are bruised because my partner neutralizing my arms while trying to pass my guard.

I loved it. I can’t wait to get back.

Went to see Fucked Up playing with Kurt Vile last night (Happy Valentine’s Day, Heather!). It was amazing, although I was surprised to see such a young band — and to hear backing vocals like that from a guitarist that looks like he’s about ten years-old. And their vocalist, who calls himself Pink Eyes, is hilarious — he was basically doing standup comedy between songs, as well as offering his band up as slaves, smashing plastic cups into his forehead, and at one point, poking me and then hugging me. Great night!

Kurt Vile sucked hard by the way.

I’m gonna listen to Fucked Up all day now.

Ilya Kovalchuk dealt to the Devils

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:08:32 -0500

Ilya Kovalchuk dealt to the Devils:

Good for the Thrashers for finally dumping the player that was single-handedly holding back the franchise from growing.

Thanks for trading him to a team in my favorite team’s (Philadelphia Flyers) division for a score of young talented players, effectively making the Devils a shit team next season as Kovalchuk is a free agent at the end of the year.

Nice shot, Getzlaf.
