There's a lot of links out there this morning and rather than skip them all . . . I wanted to compile a few of my favorites:

And yes, the NICE photo gallery of Nadine Velazquez is probably the only thing that really interests me.
LOL. I lived in Portland when they inaugurated their West side line of The Max (light rail). It was the social event of the year, and the cars were sardine-packed with they type of citizens you cite in your post. It was a hot, horrible ride. The car (or maybe the whole line) malfunctioned while the car I was in was in the tunnel under Washinton Park. At the beginning of the ordeal the riders were trying to act like they were having the time of their lives, but by the ride's end they were, for the most part, an amusingly frustated bunch of North Westerners.
ReplyDeleteAfter that I never had any trouble finding a seat on The Max, but I rarely used it because it was just easier getting around town on the regular Tri-Met buses. No matter where you went on The Max, you still had to wait for and catch a bus that would get you to where you were actually going. There was really no time savings, even just getting downtown.
And I remember that before I came back to KC many Portlanders were grousing that the cost of the The Max would have been better spent on more buses.
Portland don't call it the Meth Express for nothing.
