Here's the Stewart/Carlson exchange. I will say the nice thing about 90's references is that the aspect ratio is 4:3 so you get more screen used while watching vertically.

Crank Yankers would have been when you were in your teens. It was puppets voiced by comics making crank calls, aired after the Jon Stewart version of the Daily Show, hence the Jon Stewart/Tucker Carlson exchange: "Don't compare yourself to us, you're supposed to be real news. We're literally followed by puppets making crank phone calls."

You didn't miss much. It was just two guys making crank phone calls. Not quite as good as Crank Yankers.

Kinda. It's from the Jerky Boys. Years of relevancy: the 90's.

Might want to try the Nickelodeon sub.

If it makes you feel any better, "The AMC's Guide to the Rivers and the Lakes That You're Used To" has been out of print for years.

Checked it out without going down there. Looks like it's just part of a dock.

Next week's cleanup meets at 50 Stackpole St (where the rivers meet behind Lowell Memorial Auditorium). 9 am Saturday.

So more behind River Place Towers, the 10-story apartment building or closer to where the Western Canal enters the river?

Wasn't aware of such an item. Sorry. Will investigate next time I'm down that way. Where specifically?

I kind of agree with you? My point with mentioning GoFundMe as stated was to say don't do that. It seems like people set one up every time something happens and it just doesn't make any sense in the case of a business that's still open. If you like the business just support the business in the normal way: buy stuff.
Anyway, moot point: I guess someone approached the family with that idea and they said don't.
Also I can totally relate to not wanting to support a former employer.

Okay, so you're saying "storm's coming, all humans out."? I'm still inclined to give these guys the benefit of a doubt, but I can see that as a realistic thing that might happen somewhere.

It's a family owned and operated business. I'm going to give them the benefit of a doubt and suggest that they probably weren't intentionally risking the lives of their own family members.

There wasn't much depth, but it was heavy. I can see it catching people off guard.

They lost a few animals, but they'll remain open. Rather than do a GoFundMe I think a lot of us are just buying ice cream.

We have skate parks. I think what we need is a few linear parkways.

Yup. We should lower the speed limit so that bad drivers are less likely to hurt them.

Pretty sure they're complaining about BMX bikes (pedals, no motors).

The 128 part is accessible and shows no signs of ever being blocked off, but at the same time it still looks and feels very much like just an old rail bridge.
I haven't been out there since last spring when this was recorded. Once it warms up I'll head out again and shoot the update.

The bridge over 128? Yup.
The bridge over the tracks? More often than not, but every now and then somebody fixes the fence.
