We have a CityNerd twofer today. You may have gotten the impression that urbanism in America is all bad. No, not at all. There are lots of nice places. (Just not where I live... ) Here we have quick looks at several places, and as an added treat, a deep dive into St Petersburg, Florida....

“Hell is not real. It's also quite real. Hell is real in that it is an analogy for a certain state of mind or being in this life.”
I consider myself "Christian" in that I would like to be courageous enough to follow Him. Likewise, I do not consider "Christian" anyone who is obviously not following Him. He gave us One Commandment: "Love one another".

“We have pricing for the full 2024 Equinox EV lineup, plus range certification for the all-wheel-drive variants.”
I do NOT understand GM. They really seem to be sabotaging their own EV program. Where is their "Trax EV"? That would sell like hotcakes.Instead, they're setting themselves against proven products.
