I saw this on the sign over Eagle Eye this evening, but in my infinite wisdom didn’t take a pic.

A look at Eagle Eye Bookshop’s calendar confirms that the #1 New York Times Bestselling author Michael Connelly will be at the shop on North Decatur Road on Saturday, October 9th from 6p-8p to discuss and sign his new book “The Reversal“.

Pretty sweet get!

Everyone knows that streetcars haven’t been cool since Judge Doom destroyed them all in the 1940s to make way for his “eight lanes of shimmering cement.”

But now the Obama Administration is allowing streetcar funding with Federal Transportation Administration grants and the whole country is doing the Charleston like it’s 1922.

On Thursday, Charlotte, Cincinatti, and Fort Worth all received around $25 million to put toward streetcar projects in their respective cities, as part of nearly $300 million in announced transit grants, while much of the remaining funding went towards bus service.  A full list of the lucky recipients can be viewed HERE.

Oh man are they going to be red-faced when the Judge shows up and rips up all their rail lines and sprays Dip all over their cartoon cities.
