Cool pic! Very cozy bike rack.
Speaking of bikes, there’s a great piece on bike lanes on The Atlantic Cities (now one of my favorite sites, which I learned about by reading Decatur Metro — thanks DM!)

This is as good a place as any to talk about the fragile relationship between drivers and cyclists. I’m not sure we’ve ever really broached that subject.
That’s right, I’m pokin’ the bear. Wait, is that statement obscene? Will I get moderated? Am I babbling incessantly? Should I take Ritalin? Can I slap J_T upside the head?
Give him a chance to put his helmet on first.
He doesn’t need a helmet. It might cause additional damage from the force of the slap.
Junderscore ain’t gonna like you tryna usurp his position as the official bear-poker on this-here blog, Token. If any bears are being poked, J_T’s sure to be the big stick on duty. In other words, no bear-pokin’, Token. (Yes, it had to be said.)
Meh, I can’t responsible for pokin’ all the bears that need pokin’ around here. I’m happy to share the duties and I think Token is up to the job. He just needs to be careful, though. J_T slaps back
Yarn-Bomb. Hooray! I’ve fantacized about knitting sweaters for the couple of the bench, but I don’t got that kind of skillz.
You could make shawls.
(IMO, knitting a sweater is not difficult, but sewing up the seams so that it resembles something that can be worn in public is a whole other thing! But these yarn bombs get sewn together onto the targets so it might not be that hard.)
It would make my day to see that.
Or just some cozy little scarves. I would totally do that. I always feel sorry for them, sitting there on really cold days. Maybe ole Thos. J needs one, too.
I’ve always thought our Valentine’s should be our own Waiting for the Interurban.

Seems like a good fit and I imagine the city might go along with it.
That would be truly creepy. How about knitting sweaters and shawls for real people, instead?
That’s the tiniest yarn-bomb I’ve ever seen! Knitters of Decatur, we might need to join forces to bomb something bigger!
Yes! Yarn-bomb flash mob!
Yarn bombing makes me think the world is going to be ok.
Noticed several benches on the Square with their back slats missing. Hope these are repaired before the next festival.
