If you want to keep on the Brontë theme, perhaps Villette? Or for other Victorian/Romantic/Gothic lit vibes, The Woman in White

we gotta get him on here, I think he’s in DRCA maybe Tim can recruit
imagining a license plate on one of these
This is on the save del ray page, it’s mostly Margaret arguing with me and one other pro bike lane guy, the initial post from yesterday about their petition has like 16 likes
Oh it absolutely sucks but at least I only have to drive like once a week max thanks to transit options and walkability ☺️. maybe I should share with Margaret the good news about simply not driving 🤡
somehow it’s the “bike activists” who are selfish but she can’t stop talking about her own driveway
Lmao she is also talking to someone whose driveway backs onto Mt Vernon so this is also not the gotcha she thinks it is
Facebook comment from Del Ray Cafe owner Margaret Ticer Janowsky reading: Rebecca Turner when bikes are registered, inspected and taxed and bikers are required to have licenses to ride on the street including safety exams and required safety gear, then let’s talk. The “city” is nothing more than the collective of its citizens and its goal should be to serve the needs of a majority of them, not a handful of bike activists. BTW do you have thousands of cars driving past your home daily? Do you have two-way rush hours two times a day that makes your driveway rendered inaccessible?
i cant even with these unserious antisocial people 🤦🏻♀️
Asked my husband when he got home from the dog walk if he was ready to get beaned up
Absolutely using “beaned up” in perpetuity
now that I don’t have to work with them professionally anymore - fucking hooray for this, Youngkin’s parole board was absolute trash, and it boggles my mind that he appointed as chair the mastermind behind abolition of the board in the 90s

Whoa whoa whoa let’s leave You’ve Got Mail out of this, the Da Vinci Code movies are the clear choice
Wtf is that first paragraph

I used to volunteer at the Dalí museum and Peepsistence of Memory is sending me, thank you.
What a DREAM omg
This is true, RIP. La’baik is good but really lacking in the window game
As someone who walks around a lot with a double stroller and a dog, the Holy Cow/Pork Barrel walk-up window is honestly incredible. If anyone wants to start a coffee/pastry window I WILL invest
Bless you. I thought about it, but everything I drafted was too spicy. I might chime in later if I can rein it in.
I even double checked the survey questions before I posted this to make sure I wasn’t misremembering- something the author of this email could have easily done as well! www.research.net/results/SM-m...
The short answers are this, there is a working group of residents working on the appeal. They have inquired about the emergency vehicles, all is well was the response. At the TPB meeting, there was an overwhelming presence of residents who are affected by this and they opposed it. The reference may have been related to a city survey taken last year. The surveys usually ask the same questions, such as do you favor bike lanes. Most people would agreed that they are not a bad thing. The survey never asks you if you would be willing to give up your parking for them. They don’t ask you if you want single lanes at the intersections.
Says a lot about the anti bike lane folks that they can’t seem to make their point without flat out lying (yes this is shade on the latest rosemont spin off listserv response)
Tag yourself, I’m big nostalgic chicken
Get her, meatball boys!!
I remember when I picked up my Z4H sign way back when you warned me she was a huge NIMBY but uh, wowsa
I wonder if the 12th St address has permits posted for ALX 🙃
The number of times Gouda has thrown the brakes on and refused to walk until jay came out and gave her a treat is SO high 😂
Thank you for this, Ryan! So helpful to see the positions laid out like this.
oh noooo you hate to see it
DUPLEXES, Becky! Can you imagine????
