Yes you could spend so so much money decking Sunnyside Yards OR you could just BRT Northern Boulevard and demolish the car dealerships and build so, so much housing in this transit-rich, wildly important stretch of the borough.

Kelly Davis, intrepid reporter who exposed death and despair in San Diego County jails and gave voice to the downtrodden, dies at 53
The 2023 San Diego journalist of the year beat cancer for more than a decade before being diagnosed with a new tumor earlier this year; she leaves a lasting legacy in her adopted hometown.

My flight got canceled. I got hit by an egg in a drive-by. I had to take trains, planes, and automobiles. But NOTHING could stop me from seeing the Knicks on Saturday night.
I wrote about the greatest sports weekend I will ever have and a strange joy we all now feel.
