NYC friends -- if you have an hour in the flat iron this monday night, i'll be talking about my new book with Ann Kjellberg of Book Post | @bookpostusa.bsky.social at the gorgeous Rizzoli Bookstore

how did the eastern seaboard become an acela corridor? i wrote up my answer for The Conversation U.S. : theconversation.com/how-trains-lin…

thank you David Zipper and Bloomberg CityLab for giving me a chance to talk about the corridor!

i reviewed Ben Goldfarb's beautiful book about road kill for Book Post | @bookpostusa.bsky.social & it's un-pay-walled here: books.substack.com/p/review-david…

'In the more than the two hundred years since dreamers first proposed laying tracks along today's Northeast Corridor, no one has tried to tell its story from the start through the present—until now.'—Richard G. Slattery, Amtrak

buffalo can be hard to figure out: neighbors looking after one another, leaders demanding resilience like a tax, the community that happens in places capital gave up on. harper s.e. bishop cuts through the confusion here convergencemag.com/articles/blizz…

a so nice morning run in 73% humidity, real feel 5 buffalo, ny, usa

i love new year’s parties because you eventually say things like “hey ya is all of us trying our hardest”

corridor proofs! whoever turned my *** section breaks into little train tracks is a freaking genius

i love how Jason Pearl lounges at the crossroads of clubbing, critique, & restrictive covenants w/o flattening it’s actors into florida man caricatures. great storytelling & a turnkey hypothetical problem for legal writing profs: chronicle.com/article/robins…

infrastructure week will take place this friday at happy hour, in buffalo, two floors below babeville records. everyone where your favorite late 00s H&M v-neck tee.
