The other day a friend came to the door (here in NYC) collecting signatures. She told me about how she'd been hit by a car on a street that had very briefly been closed to cars as an open street (fuck you Portofino's, I hope you go out of business for getting that open street shut down.) It fucked her leg all up; after surgery she's been having to do lots of physical therapy. She was still limping.
DOTs consider this a minor injury, barely worth working about.

I found two adorable stray kittens on a busy urban street. At first, there was only one, who I monitored all afternoon, and then another appeared.
With the help of a friendly passerby, I caught the two and am keeping them in a spare bedroom until tomorrow afternoon, when I will take them to a no-kill rescue shelter.
If anyone in the DC area would like these two sweethearts, let me know. I don't think the mother is around because the white one is skin and bones.
Oh no Google didn’t make as much money as Wall Street decided they should and the stock dipped. Quick Sundar, lay off another couple thousand people to get that number up!

The Rick Steves guide to life
When he’s not traveling around Europe, writing about Europe or running his multimillion dollar European tour company,
the prolific TV host and author likes to squeeze in some local activism.
The roundabout routine is his push to block off Edmonds’s very American Main Street for pedestrians.
If you squint at it, you can see what Steves sees:
this would be the perfect place for a lively town square.
