You're not wrong, but it'd still be better than city streets.

Plenty of wooded areas with dirtbike trails in the semi-local area too if you know where to look. Don't even have to go as far as Big River.

I had noticed a while back that the prices in the app were sometimes higher than the ones on the board in-store.
They have also started upcharging for more total flavor shots than the 'standard amount'.

One that was never put up for vote after we already voted no on keeping the pawsox. They knew it wouldn't pass. Now surprised pikachu it would cost more than we were told.
This is a bad deal. One we don't want but has at least partially been forced on us anyway, and just went south.

This all just keep circling back to the point of "if it's such a good idea, why can't they find the money? Why do they need to steal ours?"

Season tickets means they're paid for whether or not there's a butt in them. And the numbers still don't sound good.

No, I said using that as a driving factor to build a train station in a location that's not exactly convenient for such a purpose was stupid.
And again, if there is so much money to be made from stadium operations then there should be plenty of opportunities for private funding. When so much of it is to be left on taxpayers that's generally a sign the real risk is higher than what they're trying to sell you. Tax money is not a VC fund.
And AGAIN, WHY WAS THERE NOT A VOTE?

Then they should have no problem raising the funds privately!
Maybe consider doing a Kickstarter?
I also can't wait to see all the tourists that are supposed to come in on the train to take a bus to downtown past downtown to this new stadium.
(For the record I'm fine with the train station. But the tourism justification was stupid. The reality is it's a commuter station. Which is okay. We needed it.)

Exactly. And exactly why would we want to spend more on another less popular sports franchise.

I think it's more like, we're just a little more civilized up here so we wouldn't have as much of those either way. ME, NH, and VT, are all Constitutional Carry states. Definitely not as shooting-crazy as Texas. Or the gun control capitol of Chicago, for that matter....

>“The city’s top priority has always been protecting taxpayers,”
If that were true, there would have AT LEAST been a public vote to approve the project.
WE TURNED DOWN KEEPING THE PAWSOX FOR THE SAME AMOUNT YOU PROMISED THIS WOULD COST US.
Fuck you, Grebien.

Sadly I'm not even sure they have an interest in making sure subs like this have reasonable leadership.
Their approach may be subjectively "reasonable" to them, but it just seems like another avenue to help sway the opinions of the masses however it favors them.

TL;DR: Auth-left mod whose dayjob is narrative crafting for facebook loses his shit at anyone who doesn't agree with him. Bans people trying to discuss racial issues like helping an Indian couple find a community they will feel safe in. Also goes off on anyone who questions the relevance of continuing to post Ukraine news in this sub. Eventually just starts banning anyone who isn't lockstep with his agenda. Super meltdown mode as the exiles start to organize, lies to everyone about what's going on, recruits mods to help protect the sub from the nonexistent threat of a bigot brigade. Then ky1e comes back and saves the day by kicking them all out.

When you hear the saying "never let a good tragedy go to waste," these are the people who take it to heart unironically.
They actually think they are doing society a favor by censoring everything but the approved opinions.

The dark arts of logistics sometimes dictate that it's cheaper and more sensible for them to fill an extra suitcase with quality products that will last than to ever buy the Walmart grade shit back home.
EDIT. And it's not just manufactured clothing either. Some of these people know how to clear out textile outlets too.

The "parking lot in the middle" is because certain types of shoppers like having direct access to the stores they want to visit (or to feel like they do). Find where you want to go, park in front of it, and walk inside. Which is fair, to a certain extent.
But then you have the developers that just go too far and completely ignore the walkability aspects that other shoppers may enjoy.
There's a happy medium in there somewhere, it's just going to take someone willing to find it.
