I was catching up on my blog reading early this morning, and there are just too many interesting things to pass by without linking. Via The Transport Politic, The High Speed Rail Association’s new network plan – the two routes we St. Louisans would be most interested in (Chicago-St. Louis and St. Louis-Kansas City) are [...]

The Transit Authority River City (TARC) in Kentucky put together a hip hop music video to demonstrate how easy it is to use bike racks on city buses.  All of MetroBuses in Missouri have front bike racks that each hold two bikes.  I’ve heard from the biking community that the bus bike racks can be [...]

Two entries in dArt St. Louis feature MetroLink stations! dArt St. Louis is a super cool collaborative art project, where 100 St. Louisans threw darts at a giant map of the city and took photographs of the spots where they landed. Lucky for us, great aim directed two local artists to MetroLink stations. For your [...]

Every now and then, I see articles of interest to our readers but to which I have little or nothing to add. I will, from time to time, post such links in a roundup post so you don’t miss them. Today’s links are all technology-related. Delmar Loop will soon have wind power. London car-sharing introduces [...]

Most of us would probably prefer to ignore those thoughts, but Christopher Steiner gave it some thought, enough thought for a book described in yesterday’s article in the Chicago Sun Times. The author of the article described $20 Per Gallon: How the Inevitable Rise [...]

The air smells like sparklers and hot dogs and American flags.  And you want to see music!  And fireworks!  Under the Arch!  Eating hot dogs! If you are planning on taking MetroLink to Fair St. Louis or Live on the Levee this weekend, here is information on the holiday service:

I was perusing some of the St. Louis-focused blogs today and saw several links to St. Louis real estate blogger Dawn Griffin, so I decided to click over and check her out. She’s provided a great service with this post, “Homes Under $200,000 Near MetroLink Stations.” She provides the listing for seven homes walkable to [...]

There’s a lot of anger out there against cyclists. In my years of bike commuting, I’ve been swerved at, “bumped” off the road, screamed at by people trying to startle me, had a fast-food soda cup (half-full) thrown at me out the window of a minivan, and honked at for no reason (other than to [...]

Rick at StlRising posed a question today about the WeCar Prius that he can see from his downtown office window. Does anybody know about the program? How do you get in on it? Could I ditch my car, ride Metro downtown, and then have the We Car available for trips during the day out of [...]
