Any idea if this is a good or bad thing?

Quantum at least had a "notify me when my address is connected" page. Brightspeed can't even find my address.

Gives me bad vibes when our municipal fiber changes hands in such a short time.

Better business bureau is a private business which any other business can pay money to get a good ranking or remove negative reviews and shouldn’t really ever be a part of your decision making process.

This happened yet again in our town because the people who design the infrastructure don’t give a flying fuck about anything other than the utmost convenience for people in cars and trucks. Every installation for people walking from one part of town to another is an after-thought. The number of times I’ve crossed there with my kid, on foot, inches from idiots hammering past - no protection from even a low speed incident. I saw this intersection earlier and saw pink lines and numbers had been sprayed on the roadway, doubtless indicating the long arc through which this poor guy flew. People don’t expect people to be walking near where they’re mindlessly charging along, glued to the phone or racing some other gargantuan compensatory super duty. Lighting is terrible - by Cherokee there is a pedestrian crossing which is all but invisible when it’s dark. At 530. Our city continues to sprawl in unwalkable enclaves, even if there is anything within walking distance you take your life in your hands unless you strap into your tank and burn a few pints of gasoline just to get a snickers and a Pepsi. It would be tempting, for rhetorical purposes to end this with ‘how many more people must die before we do something ?’ But that never works, with any lethal problem in this country, ever. People make money, other people die. Rinse and repeat.

Team Taco uses cardboard packaging. Thai Express uses plastic, but they're the nicer kind that's reusable. Boskys uses sustainable packaging.

I'm at a loss on Chinese restaurants.... All the standard places I'm aware of use styrofoam clamshells. Except, like the family pack (individual entrees/sides) at Panda Express with the classic Chinese boxes.

Thinking of Hong Kong Inn, Cashew Station, Bao Bao, Cashew Chef, and Lucy's.

I haven't had China King in years, but, at least the one in Republic, used plastic containers.

I haven’t seen any, but telling the drive pickup that you don’t need all the straws, utensils, napkins, sauces, or whatever helps.

I have a napkin stash in my kitchen and keep the plastic take out containers that have the dishwasher symbol for whatever projects I do in the garage or for leftover food.

Taco habitat seems to try the mostish, but the owner is a fraud for embezzling (bourbon Beale, hot clickers, taco habitat, etc)

I can’t remember but depending on what you order, canton inn, pine garden, and golden house does have the containers that are dishwasher safe. Golden house definitely uses them when you get a side of steamed veggies
