Why do you want to take pictures of the metro, anyway?
Ah the morning after a night of drinking where you know you’ve narrowly avoided a hangover, but your mouth still feels like sandpaper. Thankfully I had my clothes laid out already, so getting out of the house was no trouble....
Metro cutbacks and fare hikes?
There’s a proposed 2008 budget for Metro that would result in both reduced service and fare hikes (makes perfect sense to me!) that has more than a few riders crying foul and reaching for their car keys. I remember living...
you can’t please ’em

Who’s that fat guy to the right of him?
