What! Holy crap. Great idea. When I was younger, I used to think that having a membership in Audubon society was like a Victorian privilege...🤦‍♀️. I grew up poor. Please don't judge too harshly.

One of my teachers was a member, and she'd bring stuff to class about the birds, and I was like 😳 in wonderment.

I had to go down Dupont Drive on a Sunday afternoon recently to drop off a package at the Amazon Hub there. It was initially a bit chaotic, but the riders were at least staying away from me and my car.

I know it's not a solution, but I'd rather see them riding there on a Sunday when the majority of businesses there are closed, than up and down neighborhood streets clogged with kids...

When I visited rhode island despite having out of state plates everyone drove respectful around me! No one ever honked, flipped me off or anything. I'm confused why driving is a problem? You could live in my state and take 1 hour trips back and forth from home to work or shopping to home etc.

There was a gas station there, the permits for the underground gas tanks were not up to code anymore because of the size of the property. He bought the land/business when it was valuable and the town made it unusable and unvaluable so he is pissed at them. The current owner has been in legal battles with the town. Unsurprisingly the owner is a POS as others have pointed out.
