    Morgantown, WV Questions

    Been there twice now. Stay close to downtown if you can for Friday and Saturday night fun. Saturday morning ride the PRT train to get out toward campus and stadium. Usually the DC alumni club hosts an event at Mountain Mama's bar the morning of the game. Hit that up for a couple of hours, then...

    Basketball telecasts

    ESPN + on Hulu is nice because it just shows up on the guide like a linear channel. Let's you flip back and forth easily to a non ESPN channel too.

    *** Official #24 IOWA STATE vs #20 BYU Game(Day) Thread ***

    So bad even the ESPN scorebug has us losing already.

    Going to WVU

    We went to the pregame at Mountain Mama's a couple years ago, then started walking to the stadium about 90 minutes before kick. Bought a 6 pack at the neighboring gas station to make the walk to the stadium through the lots, although plenty of beers will be handed to you in the lots...

    Ohiopyle is close to Fallingwater, small town but a recreation haven and state park with whitewater rafting, the GAP trail, and hiking.

    Things to Do in Pittsburgh?

    Second Warhol museum. Pirates game. If you're into cycling, do part of the Great Allegheny Passage. Do one of the funiculars (trams that go up the hill side). Johnstown is 1.5 hrs east, site of one of the worst disasters in US history, a flood that killed 2200 people, lots of history there...

    College Football Playoff Championship Odds

    Has anyone seen odds for ISU to make the CFP (not necessarily winning it)?

    2021 Away Game (farewell?) tour

    We booked the Motel 6 up on Route 19 west of campus. It's somewhat walkable to the stadium and PRT (to get downtown). And pet friendly.

    2021 Away Game (farewell?) tour

    Single game tickets through WVU went on sale this past Tuesday. We went in 2019 and had a blast. Nicest fan base in Big 12, and beautiful area. Bought our tickets in section 204 and booked a hotel this week.

    Streaming options for K-State? I don't get ESPNU

    You can add ESPN U to Sling for $5/mo, look for the Sports Extra package under Sling Orange.

    Des Moines removing one-way streets, adding bicycling infrastructure, walkability

    Sure, in this specific scenario (which I've never heard of happening anywhere else, and I wouldn't endorse in a rural area) bike lanes would be subsidized. My example was speaking more to urbanized areas, where you typically see these sort of things.

    Des Moines removing one-way streets, adding bicycling infrastructure, walkability

    This is a common misconception. While gas tax funds most of roadway construction and maintenance for state owned roads, more general funds are being used from the federal level for state owned roads (and local roads that get federal funds)...

    Des Moines removing one-way streets, adding bicycling infrastructure, walkability

    The point of the conversion from one-way to two-way is to make the street feel less like an expressway and more like a neighborhood collector. With the addition of bike lanes and other amenities that add "friction" to the street, speeds will drop such that crashes (if they happen) will be less...

    Home Security Cameras

    We've had a rash of Ring doorbell thefts in our neighborhood in Philly the past few weeks. Apparently you can twist off the camera somehow?

    I lived in North Carolina for a couple of years and almost all school districts are broken down like this. In this system, to use Boone County as an example, there might be two high schools, Boone East and Boone West. Both schools are located along highway 30 somewhere to balance transportation...
