Here's the presidential election results mapped in the Kansas City metro area. Half of the KC metro is in Missouri, where voters approved measures to legalize abortion and increase the minimum wage. In this 🧵 you'll find maps of the ballot measures and a link to an interactive version of this map.

Throwback to, in preparation for my mother's wedding, I got my hair cut by my stepdad's barber Roscoe. Roscoe wasn't super familiar with cutting hair for white people, so when I told him I wanted my hair cut "short" I got a buzz cut.

11 years ago, I offered to teach a girl in my English class how to drive a manual. After driving around in the abandoned Metro North Mall parking lot, we went to Jimmy Johns in North Kansas City. Today's our 7th wedding anniversary and we went to the same Jimmy Johns

Being woken up by the sound of a trash truck beeping down your street, urgently jumping out of bed to take the trash to the curb shirtless while it's 30° outside, only to look around and see your neighbor doing the exact same thing

There's a white squirrel that lives down the street from me. I've been trying to get a photo of it for months. It's been my white whale. I finally got a photo of it today.

I walked to the old Brookwood School Lot right across from the KC North Community center. Was able to get there thanks to the new sidewalks on Russell Rd.

An empty lot at Antioch and Russell Rd. A 6-room neighborhood school named Brookwood School used to be here. I believe it was there from the 1920s-50s. Was vacant until the 80s and torn down and sold to KCMO parks. All that remains is the retaining walls and an unmaintained baseball field.

22,000 vehicles per day is generally considered the upper limit for a 3-lane road diet. Under 18k is a no-brainer. According to Replica, here are the non-expressway roadways with more than 18k cars per day (bidirectional traffic, or 9k for a directional segment). Our streets are so over-built.
