Waiting at the stoplight to take this, I watched a car try to go the wrong way to hit 3 lanes of us head on, argue with the cop directing traffic for 30 seconds, and then almost hit another cop and a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Cops did nothing. In NY they’d have them all of out of the car, citing them for anything they could, and impounding the car. RPD is so soft… ![20260919_193811](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/3X/1/e/1e3e3cf5aa8b4fbfd6bacc715b05683f1486d134.jpeg) ---

I wonder if they’re going to do something with the back of that giant cinder block wall to make it less ugly, like paint a mural or something. ---

Do we think demolition of the old space is starting imminently? I know the convention center expansion wants to get started “end of 2026.” Just thinking of when we get a new project to watch. ---
