I was thinking about the new tech that was introduced/adopted ~1995-2010 and what it felt like to live though that era - DVD players, laptops, cell phones, LED lights, smart phones, flat screen TVs, wifi, bluetooth, streaming. It felt like *progress* in a way that today's tech does not.

Here's the current state (note the barrier already moved). Not great. Though I wouldn't ride/walk under if a train is overhead since a section of the "ceiling" that protects from debris is missing.

RVA is better than your city. This morning rode a couple miles to the James River, saw bald eagles, blue heron, rode back towards home. Stopped at a local French bakery for some lunch crossiants. Then on the final leg, rode past the best dive bar in the city and two breweries.
