Someone should make a movie about the Paris metro as its own world. You could actually live there.
The movie is not available for streaming anywhere (legally), but the DVD is available for rent from Netflix.
Happy New Year!

Subways as another world
We are going to go away from the US for this month's movie, Kontroll (Hungary, 2003) a movie that creates its own world out of the fictional lives of ticket inspectors in the Budapest subway. The main character lives in the subway, and within the movie it is the world above ground that seems to be fictional. This is an accomplishment because the Budapest metro is not that big.

Chicago-St. Louis high-speed line is actually under construction
In September, the state of Illinois started upgrading a ninty-mile stretch of track between Alton and Lincoln. Earlier this week that state, the US Department of Transportation, Amtrak, and the Union Pacific Railroad announced that they had come to an agreement that would allow the trains to run on time AND allow significant freight traffic in the corridor. The next phase of construction will start in the spring when the track between Lincoln and Alton will be upgraded. All upgrades should be done in the spring.

I-70 Collaborative Effort (???)
The next meeting of the I-70 Collaborative Effort is going to be on Friday, December 3 from 8:30 to noon in Silverthorne.
Now I am a board member of an organization that is supposedly a part of this effort, and I don't really know what this is. It appears that the members might get to decide what happens to the I-70 corridor rather than CDOT doing what the public wants. It is at the Silverthorne Pavilions which actually would be a good place for a protest. I might see if I can get a couple of people to go up with me and we can ask the shoppers at the outlet malls what they would like to see happen with the area.
Here are the details:
I-70 Collaborative Effort Meeting
8:30 am - 12 pm
Silverthorne Pavilions
400 Blue River Parkway
Silverthorne, CO
The public can comment sometime between 11 am and noon.
