  4. to quote kelly "To start with, he's a member of Lakewood Church. And we have had a running agreement .... that people who go to Lakewood are screwballs and nuts... I'm very familiar with that church. We try our hardest not to put anybody who goes to Lakewood regularly on any jury."
  5. i can see that if there weren't stairs coming down. looks like the corolla can't pull up farther so it would have to be parked in a way to block the invisible sidewalk. the placement of the no parking sign in that pic is interesting. i wonder what that is about.

  16. on the stations no from what one of the artists told me. she had to go to pete marzio to bypass the METRO paver requirement. she said she put the saved money to good use on another portion of her station (museum dist). from METRO's own website Rebuilding and replacing sidewalks along the rail line is part of METRORail construction. This includes replacing the city's aging underground water and sewer system along the Main and Fannin alignment. METRORail construction on Main Street is timed to coincide with METRO's Downtown/Midtown Transit Streets Project, a more than $250 million program to repave streets and to add lighting, sidewalks, bus shelters and landscaping. the DD did do some of the work from what i was told, but METRO had a significant hand in the process.

  19. when the system lowers cross town travel times from 2:00 - 2:15 to 55 mins, that's why people use it. it is all about saving time for the commuter.
