I loved Blob’s Park! I think the family that owned it now owns the Bavarian Brauhaus in Hanover but I’ve never been; seems like a more typical sit-down restaurant.

The graph shows it is not useless.

It has to be enforced or it is useless.

> scooters and bikes are the greenest, fastest, and all-around best mode of transportation within a city. I think people and the DOT over-react to minor violations while ignoring many other sidewalk issues.
Well, that is because scooters and bikes are also the fastest and most dangerous modes of transportation on sidewalks. A pedestrian, even in a wheelchair, has very little ability to hurt other people due to their movement. Bikes can and do kill people, so they require more regulation (just like cars have even more regulations than bikes because they are even more dangerous).

Studies have shown they kinda don't. Overall, they tend to reduce side-impact collisions and can actually increase rear-end collisions.

My parents were so excited when I got my license so that I could drop them off at Blobs where they would do back to back shots of Jaeger, get completely shitfaced, and then I'd have to go pick them up after.

lol, you're a mod in this sub. I didn't even mention her name yesterday. My comment pointed out when she moved here. What she ran for. What zoning changed. Who gets fined. Why the neighborhood's being destroyed.
tbf you're not the mod who was dogpiling me and someone else. BUT you can see what's removed in the sub. Can't you?

Yeah. Ive been going 30mph towards a green light and had them fly through a crosswalk past parked cars and had to slam my brakes. It’s like they think that they’re in a car and have some protection and wont be immediately dead or permanently disabled

Or the ones that go the wrong way down a one way street. I started pulling out the other day and a guy on a scooter almost nailed the front of my car

I know this is bad, but whenever I see a dislocated bumper and other debris laying nearby traffic calming infrastructure, a part of me is filled with glee because some dipshit done learned they need to slow down.

You want them off the roads. Someone else wants them off the sidewalk. I don't know where I'm supposed to ride them now.

It’s a church surrounded by townhouse subdivisions now. The road is still called Max Blob’s Park Rd though.
