You hear it on talk radio all the time: No one will ride the train, blah blah blah.
Except...Amtrak is setting records between Milwaukee and Chicago.
Now imagine for a moment that you could ride the light rail from Brookfield or UW-M or King Drive, transfer at the InterModal station downtown, and continue on to Chicago via Amtrak, or south on the Kenosha-Racine-Milwaukee commuter line?
Oh...I forgot...that wouldn't work here, because no one will ride the train.
Inspired by Jessica McBride's creative use of language, to wit:
"Good for Mark Green... whallah, by midday Doyle was following his lead...." Committed to the monitoring of the local right-wing media and exposing their lies, hypocrisies, and foibles, so that you don't have to.

Excuse Me Sir, Is That The Chatteringhead Choo-Choo?

ReplyDeleteImagine that you could ride the Freeway Flyer bus from Brookfield, Mequon, Hales Corners, to downtown, and then take Amtrak to Chicago.
Oh--gee!! That already EXISTS!!
So the obvious solution: Spend $800 million more!!!
ReplyDeleteImagine a metro area where morons aren't throwing body blocks in front of innovative ideas.
ReplyDeleteRight now that metro area would not be Milwaukee.
