I assume you're talking about college students, which make up 30K+ people in the city. Even when they move out, they'll be replaced by more people who's interests are similar, so I wouldn't discount all of their opinions. That said, even light rail is dumb expensive in the US and I think people get way too optimistic with imaginary transit maps. The busway would be easy routing for light rail, but it isn't where more transit is needed. Building a busway in the south hills would not be cheaper than maintaining the rail and rolling stock

All 3 million residents have died. except those who use Reddit and never go outside. You should probably tell your boss you can’t go unless they provide you a gas mask. The city will be uninhabitable for years

Yeah, I went to the Banksville location - first time I'd been to an EnP since 2019. Went for two reasons - I wanted some salad bar, and I wanted grilled stickies.

Salad bar was sadly pretty unfulfilling, and then they didn't have the stickies.

A day or two later, they popped up on my FYP on TikTok, so I asked them what was up. Evidently their supplier shut down, so they can't get them anymore. But they're trying to come up with another vendor.

In the meantime, if you're really jonesing: https://www.grilledstickies.com/store/p3/Plain_Grilled_Stickies_-_6_Pack.html
