Travel with Strangers STILL LIVES!

Remember that public transit litmag I started a while ago? We're finally starting on the second issue! If you've ever had a hankering to read/write a short story, limerick, epic poem, monologue, existentialist one-act, or soul-baring memoir that takes place in/around public transit, this is your chance. And let's be real, it's pretty much your only chance, since nobody else publishes the incredibly obscure genre of transit lit.

Oh, we also like visual art - drawings, paintings, photos.

If you've never written anything before, COME ON PEOPLE! The time is now. Pull out those pens or quills or whatever floats your boat and give me some bus verbage.

Adventures of a one-car cross-county household

Life gets a lot cheaper when you move in with somebody, and Alex and I recently took our Ann Arbor and Detroit habitations and merged them into one big beautiful Ypsilanti. Besides sharing rent, cooking, and bunnies, we decided to junk his clunker and rely solely on my decade-old Ford Focus, which has belonged to every member of my family and traversed the country twice.

Bunny numero uno
It's not like we have ten children, or any other small mammals in our care besides the furry type. But still, with our wildly regional schooling and employment patterns, there are days in which we have to be...creative.

The Transit Dork Speaks

Check out my op-ed in Concentrate! Encouraging everyone to vote yes for more buses on May 6. But be warned, it will make you hungry, 'cause I talk about pizza.

Do you smell it? The sweet scent of improved transit. MMMMMM.
