Tomorrow (or right now for channel members)!

We’re back with a video from Chicago, this time talking about the different abandoned railway bridges scattered throughout the city. This is one of my favorite videos I’ve ever made, so be sure not to miss it!

So it’s official, the Amtrak Heartland Flyer is dead… absolutely heartbreaking, but at least I rode it a few weeks ago. Expect a review next week, and ride it while you can.

If you’re living in the Dallas area, don’t forget several places have a vote TOMORROW on whether to exit DART. If that’s your home and you want to keep using transit, make sure to vote!

And when you come home, enjoy my video about the New York subway :)

Recently I’ve had the privilege of speaking at several events, thanks to everyone who could be there. Of course, we all have lots going on, so no worries if you couldn’t make it!

The good news is: they were recorded, and the links are live! They are in the top pinned comment.

Be on the lookout here and on Instagram for any announcements about future events.

Here’s something that doesn’t happen every day: accidentally booking a flight on an airline on their 100th birthday. Sadly they didn’t hand out cake.

Any guesses where I’m off to?

I think I need to make every video on just 4 hours of sleep, it seems to be working 😂

Also, fun fact: tomorrow’s video will feature Batman. I promise that’s not a belated April Fool’s joke.

Shoutout to everyone who came up and said hi at the Monon Corridor today! Not even a tornado warning could ruin the ribbon cutting and first run.
Expect a video very soon, and another video even sooner…
