Welcome to the blog

This the first of what I hope will be many posts on this blog. An introduction is in order first.

I live in Minneapolis, just a few steps away from both the Hiawatha Line and I 94. I'm a transit 'enthusiast,' though I do own a car (and a bike). I've been learning about transit here in the Twin Cities since I first got lost on the 3 my freshmen year of college. I've taken an active interested in matters transit and transportation related here in the metro area.

I've been reading a lot of transit blogs from around the country, and I've also noticed that areas much smaller than ours have transit bloggers, but we don't have anything similar here. That, combined with the fact that my friends are tired of me talking about subsidization, headways, rail bias, and all the rest of it, has led me to start this blog.

It's my hope that this blog will evolve into a few things. First, an uncensored view on the news of the region. I've got nothing against TLC Minneosta and Twin Cities Streets for People, but they're advocay groups. I don't have anyone here to answer to.

Second, a more indepth analysis on long term plans for the region. I've got plenty to say about Central Corridor, Southest Corridor, and Bottineau Boulevard, as well as high speed rail and all the other transitways.

Third and finnaly, it is a mystery. I'm not sure what this is going to evolve into, but please, stay tuned.
