A misty moiety morning for today’s #FakeCommute

I almost got hit by three cars this morning. 🙄 #Pedestrianism #PedestrianLife #Winnipeg

DeKalb Co. Georgia is seeing rapid development along the US29/US78 corridor north of Decatur. This is a wide, high-speed road that is unsafe for pedestrians to cross, yet is surrounded my several new and planned high-density mixed-use developments. Quanisha Ball died on November 17 after being hit by a car at an intersection (Scott and Blackmon) while on her way to work. We need to stop surrounding our homes with death-traps.

"From January 25 to February 22, 1879, Exilda walked a quarter mile every fifteen minutes. Despite the obvious pain of sore feet and lack of sleep, she never publicly complained. And somehow she gained a second wind. Women patrons presented her with expensive jewelry, and less affluent admirers presented her with bouquets and applause. At the finish, La Chappelle not only broke the previous record, but shattered it, making 3,000 quarter miles." #urbanism #pedestrianism

"Ada Anderson, was attempting a seemingly impossible task, to walk 2700 quarter-miles in 2700 consecutive quarter-hours. Towards the end of her month-long endeavor, thousands of people, including well-heeled gentlemen and society belles paid up to $1 apiece to see the walk. Madame Anderson's successful finish was reported as front page news throughout America." #urbanism #pedestrianism #history
