The Washington State Legislature will likely take up legislation to reduce the blood alcohol concentration limit for drivers from 0.08 to 0.05. Are you curious what that means and the effect it is likely to have? Check out this scholarly review of the literature.

Dodger Stadium's parking lot is so big that it could fit an additional 10 Dodger Stadiums.
People think that families were displaced out of Chavez Ravine in the 50s in order to build the stadium, but it's technically more accurate to say that they were displaced to build the stadium's parking lots.

Screw people who say “use common sense, cars are bigger so get out of the way” to justify people driving dangerously around cyclists. Australia has a real problem in regards to entitled drivers and their car-brain. Needs to be addressed.
