"Just to clarify the record re: Verizon, AT&T, and Ameritech... When Ameritech and SBC merged (forming the company we now call AT&T), both Ameritech and SBC had wireless networks in St Louis and Chicago. In order to complete the merger,…"

Justin B Newman replied to Gene Tenner's discussion 'Mayor wants to increase fines for reckless cyclists, motorists'"Just remember, if you're an Alderman, the law doesn't apply. "
Justin B Newman replied to Steven Vance's discussion 'Chicago bike sharing will be known as Divvy, be Chicago flag blue'"The station density in Boulder is much lower than it's expected to be in Chicago. Also worth noting that even in nearby Denver, maximum ride time is 30 minutes. Having used B-Cycle in Denver for a week this past fall, 30 minutes felt quite…"
Justin B Newman replied to Adam Herstein (5.5 mi)'s discussion 'Group ride back to the north side after Critical Mass?'"If you'll propose an alternate route that doesn't end so far South, you never know, you might have a crowd follow you. There's no magic in one person's proposed route..."
Justin B Newman replied to Steven Vance's discussion 'Chicago bike sharing will be known as Divvy, be Chicago flag blue'"Bike Share is really not intended to get you all the way across the city. For that, you can use transit, or buy a bike. That said, worst case, you ought to be able to get 3-4 miles within 30 minutes. Also note that you can (generally) turn in a bike…"
Justin B Newman replied to Steven Vance's discussion 'Chicago bike sharing will be known as Divvy, be Chicago flag blue'"Definitely getting a membership. I expect to use it primarily as a "last mile" for 'L' trips. Living off of the Blue Line, there are large parts of downtown that'll be much easier to get to...

For a grade separated crossing, with the road going under the railroad, the Illinois Commerce Commission (who regulates the railroads) swears to me that there are no road jurisdiction issues ... the…"

Justin B Newman replied to youngmancycle's discussion 'Best cycling/bike shop in chicago (personal opinoin)'"The two are vastly different. I have bought both of my bikes from Working Bikes, but I buy accessories and service from Boulevard. If I were buying a new bicycle, Boulevard would be my first, and likely last, stop."
Justin B Newman replied to Ace Mann's discussion 'Report potholes- city fills potholes. Potholepalooza from cdot. I hope chainlinkers will be very active'"Any potholes not reported this weekend will remain unfilled until 2014.

Justin B Newman replied to Jennifer Vacanti's discussion 'Bike Stolen in Irving Park...Please help me find my bike.'"All pawn shops and second hand stores are required to document the purchase. The police just chose not to require Cash America to turn it over. There's no obligation for them to check the Registry -- doing so is just a way to protect themselves…"

Justin B Newman replied to h' 1.0's discussion '[In search of suburban life?] Chicago to get its first Olive Garden'"It's possible that when looking for a home two years ago, I expressed to my lovely wife that I simply could not live in Naperville. That said, one could argue that Naperville itself has been a victim of sprawl. It has a nice central…"
Justin B Newman replied to h' 1.0's discussion '[In search of suburban life?] Chicago to get its first Olive Garden'"As to "strip malls and corporate monoculture," there's not much to be said for this. It's an Olive Garden going into a K-Mart parking lot, a block from the expressway.
On the other hand, one could see this as Olive Garden…"
