The sign makes it official AF. We turned the basement of the sickest brutalist parking structure around into a weather protected, free to use- indoor skatepark. LFG. Thanks @doughausladen @SkateboardSkoob + Bobby Murphy for making it happen. Also, Plush and Cons for the ramps. 🧡

When is this happening though @aveloair ? Just made the Houston trip and it was seamless except for the three hour drive to Austin after :)

Saddened to learn of the death of Joe Comfort, window-washer par excellence and one of the most beloved of downtown New Haven's many beloved street characters. #RIP

Recycling Bin uprising has begun..

@quartersnacks Beastie Boys

What band is this?

@AmusedToDeath1 Wish that KOC would unfence that plaza and make it a public space

Omg new housing being sighted in its native habitat 💜

Wee Bey is in Paid in Full…I just peeped

@DFANewHaven This upper Ogden bump is definitely the mellowest but it’s also the location that needs a hump the least. Hopefully they start work again this AM and don’t stop till the entire city is humped.

New speed bumps in the Prospect Hill neighborhood seem a bit flat to me (@benberkowitz?). I think the hope is that when additional much-needed traffic calming (possibly a cycle track) is installed on Whitney Avenue, these will help deter a spillover of speeding onto side streets.

@DFANewHaven You can’t roll them at more than 10 MPH without really feeling it or potentially damaging the vehicle. My only issue with them is that they are not going to be located on the lower part of the upper slopes of Huntington, East Rock and Highland where they are needed the most.

Imagine if New Haven invested 2.5 Million in skateboarding. We’ve done so much with so little but a real commitment from @cityofnewhaven like what Groton, CT is about to do would be epic.

we should bring back competitive walking matches

@carolinetanbee @DFANewHaven True. I feel like @DFANewHaven might have competed but I could be wrong.

@DFANewHaven @benberkowitz has hosted some walking competitions (not races, but more like commitments to walking regularly) years back! Right, BB?

@DFANewHaven Not all CT cities can build a partially complete bike lane over ten years protected by rubber duckies secured with chewing gum and hopes and dreams. Do better Hamden.

New (unprotected) bike lanes on Skiff Street in Hamden between Whitney and Dixwell including connection to FCH Trail. Unfortunately motorists have been 'trained' to drive 45 here over decades of 4 lanes -- bike lane won't get much use until drivers can be re-trained #bike #hamden

Hell yeah @SkateboardSkoob

@TheEvilleEye @AHC_oakland

@TheEvilleEye @AHC_oakland This is an example where we buffed over, tags on an underpass mural, but then left one tag and painted a billboard around it. We then painted two blank billboards, which you can see have been subsequently been tagged in the photo but no tags anywhere else for a year.

I’ll ask again: when did the unwritten “treaty” between muralists and taggers lapse? @AHC_oakland mural on Market St. in Oakland just ravaged. 😔

@TheEvilleEye @AHC_oakland Would be cool to see the muralist come back and incorporate the tags into the diamond color pattern.

Ah maybe. I saw the browsing announcement the other day but it wasn’t working for me until today

GPT started browsing the Internet all of a sudden today. Same for everyone else?

@AmusedToDeath1 Jersey barriers = only answer. This implementation was doomed to fail. 1/2 assed.

Sadd. The delineators had been holding up great since they actually bolted them down. Can't even put these missing ones back since they seem to have disappeared
