Me posing at the “I Love PR” sign at SJU Airport.
And with the 16 visited Tren Urbano stations on this trip, that marks 15 of 16 US metro systems where I’ve visited every station, only one to go! That makes me one very happy urban planner :)
Thanks for reading! /end
And with that, my brief two night stay in San Juan, PR has come to a close. I had a wonderful time in the metro area, exploring a corner of the world I had never been to, eating some stellar food, and seeing some truly beautiful historical sites.
The side of The Cheesecake Factory at Plaza Las Americas in San Juan, PR.
Plaza Las Americas, at least as far as I know, also has the only Cheesecake Factory in all of Puerto Rico? @nerd4cities.bsky.social might be interested to know this information 😛
The entrance to Plaza Las Americas. An Applebees can be seen to the right.
Looking down on an indoor mall at Plaza Las Americas, with palm trees dotting the plaza.
The sign for Universidad del Sagrado Corazon
I didn’t have much time today before I flew back to NYC to spend time with family due to my flight getting cancelled + rebooked onto an earlier flight, but I did manage to visit Plaza Las Americas, the largest shopping mall in the Caribbean, as well as the campus of Universidad del Sagrado Corazon
Overlooking the beginning of Calle del Tren, a busway that stretches from near Old San Juan to the other edge of the island (near the interchange with Avenida Ashford)
Also, shout-out to the busway, Calle del Tren, which allows for bus routes 3, 5, 9, 10, 21, and 53 to avoid almost all of the traffic between the Capitol Building and Avenida Ashford, I’m sure that busway saved quite a lot of time for me and others taking the bus.
The Roots Fountain in Old San Juan. A statue is on top of the fountain.
An arch shaped like The Sun that says “Bienvenidos a Cataño”. Old San Juan can be seen in the distance.
The Capitol of Puerto Rico building.
A sunset over the Bar Channel overlooking Parque Nacional Isla de Cabras.
Today I explored both Old San Juan and Cataño, taking the Puerto Rico Ferry to get between them. I also went to the Territorial Capitol of Puerto Rico, and saw an absolutely breathtaking sunset at El Morro, what a day.
A broken, blue heart
With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man.
I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.
A Tren Urbano departing Universidad Station.
Me giving a thumbs up at Bayamon Station, the end of the line, signifying that I have been to all 16 stations.
A photo on the UPR campus, highlighting a sign signifying the beginning of the campus.
Of course, the very first thing I did here was ride the entire Tren Urbano. This 16 station, 10.7 mile system has one line, and some surprisingly cool underground stations, but man the land use especially gets pretty rough. I also checked out the University of Puerto Rico’s campus, which was nice.
Me pointing at a Puerto Rico flag on an ad.
Hola from San Juan, PR 🇵🇷! I’ll be spending a few days here, so expect some posts about what I’ve seen around the city and broader metro area 🧵 😁

Yesterday, I went to The Museum of the City of New York to check out “He Built This City: Joe Macken’s Model”, a full scale model of New York City. I wish you were able to walk around the entirety of the table holding the model, but this might be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in my life.
Oh crud, I forgot the Alt Text
Alt Text: Lloyd Garmadon from Ninjago Season 1 holding a map. There is a green number 5 on the top right of his skeleton patterened shirt.
When I was younger, I was so confident that Nya was going to be the Green Ninja, boy do I feel stupid in retrospect lol
@duckbricks.bsky.social pointed out in his Ninjago retrospective podcast that Child Lloyd in Ninjago Season 1 literally wears a Green 5 on his shirt…because he’s the Green Ninja AND the 5th Ninja! 🤯

I spy Wart in the bottom left 👀
Could he be the head honcho at the casino?
I've been to all 472 Subway stations on the New York City Subway
While i'm sad Maestro Man didn't make the final 6 for the Robot Master Design contest, the six that did make it are awesome.
I think at this point I'm rooting for Cactus Man to win; he was my second choice during the voting, and the concept is incredibly creative. Best of luck to all the finalists!
I also get the feeling Izumi learned from Takuya Aizu of Inti Creates accidentally leaking that Mega Man ZXC was in development at one point in a livestream lol /hj
I always love these sorts of interviews where people expect devs to be like "You know we hadn't announced anything but I feel like this random interview may be the perfect time to announce our entire lineup for the next ten years, thank you for asking"

I respect that, especially as a fan of video game series such as Street Fighter, which also had some rocky beginnings, but I think it is important for this game in and of itself to be fun for me to recommend it, and Nindroids just isn't imo.
Between losing multiple lives due to the isometric view point being difficult to see, the poor quality of the new voiceover, and the subpar level design, I am shocked that a game of this poor quality has the Ninjago name attached to it. I really hope Shadow of Ronin is better.
I'm also quite appalled at the voice work done for this game. There's an entirely new cast for the characters compared to the show, and despite some big-name VAs, the voice direction was atrocious; everyone sounded so flat and lifeless. What happened here?
Ninjago Nindroids is an absolutely awful video game. The developers tried to mix the isometric viewpoint of LEGO Battles Ninjago with the casual action/platforming of the other LEGO games, but not only does the level design suck, it only covers 5 of the 8 episodes of Ninjago S3: Rebooted!

MTA Chair and CEO statement on latest congestion pricing lawsuit court decision.
Humorously, I think some of these fan-made levels in Rayman 1's engine are better than some of the official levels, especially when compared to Rayman's New Levels 😓
That said, I did notice quite a lot of repeat level design choices, and it's clear which fans actually knew level design lol.
