G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Cannot believe how lucky I was for that to be my first-ever Lynx game!!💚One of the most beautifully-played games of basketball I’ve witnessed in person from Olivia Miles, and an overall exciting and intense contest! Love the Lynx! 4171
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 14/05/2026I am p sure it started eating the fallen petals after this😍 010
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Oh, you needed to see a baby bunny? Well, you’re in luck!💜🐇 141
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 25/03/2026This isn’t from a recent protest (No Kings Mpls in Oct 2025) and even THEN the college students were getting way more involved than they had been earlier in the year! I mean, are you gonna try to tell me anyone but a bunch of college dudes would have created this sign? 😅Lol. Students hate ICE/trump! 1212
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 31/01/2026ICE is not just in urban areas!! They are in our rural county seat towns and even smaller places! Immigrants and refugees are a major part of rural Minnesota, especially southern Minnesota! 120
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 15/01/2026Please spread the truth!! From StarTrib, it was the man’s FAMILY who came outside of HIS HOUSE to defend him, they ran inside and he was shot in the process. the man had been chased by agents (with knows WHAT warrants) and he drove back to his house! there were children in the house! 063
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 11/01/2026Truly, you cannot silence us, and Minnesotans have—to put it lightly—had it. 030
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 11/01/2026You cannot silence Minnesotans! Minneapolis, Jan. 10, 2026 050
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 08/01/2026We will not be silenced by the evil that has invaded our state. 040
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Minneapolis showed up tonight; solid blocks of people at peak, which was a bit later than this video (& this only captures not quite half the crowd). ICE OUT NOW! 130
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 07/01/2026[if you haven’t seen it this is the meme format I am riffing off of; it has become one of my absolute favorites lmao] 000
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 27/08/2025As a Minnesotan not living in MN, my heart is once again torn apart by what’s happened there today. I can offer these photos of the stunning sunset (with rising new crescent moon) in Durham, NC last night as a bit of peace. Thinking of those directly and indirectly affected + everyone in MN. 030
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 12/08/2025On one hand, this game includes the poor 2025 Minnesota Twins. On the other hand, baseball on a night like this! ❤️ 030
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 16/05/2025The S. St. Paul Monorail owners proposed a connection to downtown St. Paul, but that never happened. The company (Enos Electric Railway of NJ) also proposed a line connecting Minneapolis and St. Paul, as shown in this fanciful rendering! Would've been a sight to see if it'd happened! 5252
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 16/05/2025For something completely different: One of the few photographs of the famous, very short-lived (as in, several months) South St. Paul (MN) Monorail, shown in 1886-'87. A demonstration line, it was only 1,260 ft long & went to the top of the river bluff along Bryant Ave. 35312
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 18/04/2025For something not the news: Amtrak Piedmont train #74 departs downtown Durham on a sunny day in late March, heading to its final stops at Cary and Raleigh, NC! TONS of passengers boarded—looked to be over 100. Happened to have my phone with me on a run and couldn’t resist watching and recording. 071
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 05/04/2025“Say it loud, say it clear, immigrants are welcome here!” #HandsOff Raleigh, NC. Refugees are welcome! Asylum seekers are welcome! Students who write op-eds are welcome! Down with the musk-trump takeover! 020
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 05/04/2025#Handsoff Raleigh! North Carolinians have HAD it! Great crowd. This shows the central portions (but not all) of the protest. Really impressive energy all around! I liked the “fire musk, save Elmo” sign. This was almost 1.5 hrs into the protest on a hot day so some had left already, too. 071
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 05/04/2025Sen. Tills does *not have* a spine! One of my favorite signs. 030
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 05/04/2025Outstanding turnout for #HandsOff in Raleigh! Zoom in on this pic to get a sense of how packed it was in the central area. Organizers said 10,000—that may be high but I’d say at least over 5,000 in total! Protest was dispersed on the mall + multiple city blocks so hard to get a full picture. 071
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 04/04/2025Everything I've seen from the construction update emails + this map on the website (metrocouncil.org/Transportati...) indicate "2025" for all the remaining trails to open. We'll see! 120
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 18/03/2025You have to be kidding me. The survey responses were THIS overwhelmingly negative towards moving buses off Nicollet in the online survey alone, and they're STILL trying to move ahead with this by 2026?! @hpan3.bsky.social I will put out my hope feelers on you writing about the disconnect here 120
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 13/03/2025From last week: Paralleling the Lynx Blue Line (hello Siemens S70!) on the way out of Charlotte, NC. Amtrak Piedmont train 72, complete with seemingly improved wifi and comfy seats as always! 100
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Tonight I learned: During the heyday of Twin City Lines running steamboat service on Lake Minnetonka, there was for a brief time a TCRT employee had the epic title of Commodore of the Fleet, who (naturally) was in charge of coordinating the steamboat operations. There were 4 routes in total! 240
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 06/03/2025Pregame genuine excitement levels + general noise levels in the Spectrum Center tonight are at like 2010-2011 Target Center levels; I feel the pain of Hornets fans! Loud cheers for Naz and honestly anytime the T-wolves do anything good! So many empty seats 000
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Was a great turnout! Glad to see people taking the time to be in community like this! 010
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Much better vibes than other things going on: Mardi Gras celebrations in downtown Durham, NC earlier tonight! Also an example of biking serendipity because I only encountered the fun because I’d just picked up my bike from the shop and decided to bike around on a warm evening❤️ 120
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 01/02/2025Here it is: your moment of zen. From a bit over a week ago, after we received a light snowfall here in NC and things were nice and frozenish for a bit😃 Sound up to hear the babbling creek! 020
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Your train moment of zen for today! Piedmont 72 arriving at Durham, NC. North Carolina’s Amtrak-operated, state-run Piedmont & Carolinian services are some of the most successful in the nation, with record ridership for several years in a row. NC is looking to add a 5th Piedmont in a few years! 060
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 10/01/2025It gets worse-Quid pro quo! "Once buses are moved off Nicollet Mall, what improvements do you like to see." ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Many of these things already exist/happen; 3 of the new things could happen today! Also galling to see public restrooms on there as an option only once transit riders gone 120
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 10/01/2025I'm sincerely sorry, but in addition to seeing no clear promises of *how* transit service would materially, holistically IMPROVE for regular riders, it is an indictment of a certain American mentality that moving 1,000s of transit riders OFF a major street is meant to *improve* (buzzword) vibrancy! 160
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 15/12/2024@lollardfish.bsky.social Received it a few days ago, and and am pumped to jump learn tons about a part of history that I know very little about today! Keep on writing! 060
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Bridal Veil Falls circa. 1865 to 1880, Upton's Views of Minnesota via MN Digital Library collection.mndigital.org/catalog/mpls... 020
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 05/12/2024The first rendering I've seen of Macalester College's new combined 250-bed upperclass dorm and admissions/"welcome center" building, sent to Mac alums + community members earlier today. This would be on Grand Ave., replacing the Cultural House [controversy], a parking lot, and a vacant lot. 1/8 152
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 18/10/2024A freshly painted bus-only lane on W. Lake St., Minneapolis, MN for your Friday!! A thing of beauty. Photo taken by Metro Transit and sent in today's construction update. Metro Transit's B Line (arterial bus rapid transit line) is under construction and slated to open in June of next year. 1469
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 17/10/2024Hello new followers! I greet you with my first Bluesky video—of Amtrak, naturally! North Carolina has, without much popular [non train people] noticing, developed more frequent Amtrak corridor service than most of the country outside the Northeast. Huge crowd of ppl got on at Cary a few weeks ago! 280
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 28/09/2024Play More Viola, said no one, anywhere, ev—said this bumper sticker, the only pro-viola anything I’ve ever seen in public!! And you know what? Play more viola, indeed! (As a mediocre viola player I can poke fun🎻) 030
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 23/09/2024Finally used GoTriangle after never having a logical chance to give it a try! 2nd comfiest old American cushy-style bus seats for “commuter” type buses I’ve ever experienced. 11/10 on the seat pattern! Sad for the nearly empty bus (2 people boarded later), but thanks to driver for a smooth ride! 030
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 17/09/2024Amtrak's new Borealis service passed the Empire Builder again today! The EB waited for the Borealis to pass before crossing the Mississippi into La Crosse, WI. I'm happy for all those on the Borealis who'd otherwise have no other option but to be on the train that was ~2.5 hrs late into St. Paul! 080
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 17/09/2024I guess I was/am user #761,985! “Certified Bluesky Elder” lol 120
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 12/09/2024Seeing this good old map validated me so much! Love having data back me up as to "man why do I never feel like there's a good breeze where I live in the Piedmont of North Carolina!" Compared to even the Twin Cities of MN, average wind speeds are notably lower--and ~ half of where I grew up in SW MN! 220
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 12/09/2024(this is what the wind farm setup is like in my home county + adjacent area. Very sci-fi effect when all the turbines off I-90 would--or still do, haven't been there at night in 4+ years--blink red at the same time. Also why I was surprised at opposition to small hilltop w. farms in Baden-W. in DE😆 120
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 11/09/2024The school dist., ISD 518, is one of the most diverse in the entire state now. The district's lower elem. school is only 12% white, which is an enormous contrast to most of the surrounding districts/counties (though some are now more diverse via open enrollment). rc.education.mn.gov#demographics... 010
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 11/09/2024Heard someone said Minneapolis is “burned to the ground;” I mean yes, it’s quite the scene. Didn’t get a pic but you should have seen the ghost vintage streetcars by the lake with the sailboats. Haunting! /s 080
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 08/09/2024So, Bluesky: in Cashmere, WA, this is known as a “krispie!” It’s huge! Was described as a flattened cinnamon roll w/extra cinnamon sugar. (Can’t see as clearly, but it is very thin) I’d never seen such a baked good anywhere! Is this common in eastern WA, or elsewhere? 120
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 05/09/20241/? For those following the on-time performance of Amtrak's newest route, the CHI-MSP Borealis: CPKC/the freight RRs are having issues moving the Borealis through the congested area (past railyards, etc.) from far SE StP. to Union Depot. 15-ish mins of delay almost every day, even if on time at RW. 2112
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 21/08/2024I haven't see Amtrak's Borealis (train 1333) be perfectly on time or close to it for this much of its run in a while. Slated to actually arrive in St. Paul right on time! Feels like CPKC's dispatchers took pity on it after yesterday's 3+ hr delay caused by the tragedy (bike vs. train) in Oconomowoc 110
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 08/08/2024One of the most meh to (imo) fairly ugly but functional war memorials in MN is the Nobles County Library--that is, the War Memorial Library, or the Nobles County War Memorial Building - Library and Museum (as originally conceived). Inside, it does have the whole plaques of war dead & all. 220
G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 14/05/2024In all seriousness, thanks to AAMN for this email, which included a helpful table of the time and location of various 1st train festivities next Tuesday, May 21st! Train tours start at Union Depot at 9 a.m., with the ribbon cutting at 10:45. Winona's also doing a 1st train celebration! 010
