Made a little comic about the joys of riding the train, even for just a little while.

Glad to see this move ahead. Curious why the baseball field in the centre is not included in the overall plan?

Mexico City skinny mid-rise is the best. All of these are in the Narvarte area along Avenida Dr JosΓ© MarΓ­a VΓ©rtiz.

San Miguel is so charming and I think has some of the coolest apartment architecture in cdmx.

The rapid bus system in cdmx is great. Dedicated lanes, subway-like stations, and it’s only 6 pesos per ride. I loaded up my metro card with 50 pesos & it cost me like $4 cdn 🀯

Makes me think in Toronto how many times I see spaces like this that are mostly barrenβ€”no seating, all paved, maybe a tree. I know it’s a different climate here but really it’s not an excuse. Toronto can do better with these mini-spaces. They’re what make a city feel comfy.

I love how cdmx doesn’t waste any public space. Along Ave Insurgentes which cuts diagonally thru Roma Sur city are these little triangle plazas with seating & mini playgrounds, like this one outside of my friend’s house. I swear there’s someoneβ€”adult or kidβ€”on this swing at all times.

Ah yes they have those in Parque EspaΓ±a and Parque MΓ©xico. So nice! Glad you enjoyed.

A few walls I loved from yesterday’s walk which ended with a coffee and cardamom roll. Special guest appearance: the tote bag I illustrated for Elgin & Winter Garden Theatre.

You’ll love it in person then and be sure to walk the other median pathways in the city.

Wandering the crowded Lagunilla yesterday in cdmx, which is one of my fav things to do in this city & always leaves me feeling somehow equally drained & energized & full of regrets for not buying everything (like should I have bought this old metal diving helmet???)
