It is SO nice to have a quasi 3rd space, browsing retail option on the west side, especially accessible on foot, bike and bus. Ran into so many neighbors this morning at the new B&N. Now, Foxchase, can we please get more bike racks?

Chris Mann is a thoroughly decent guy and a really good lawyer. He will serve the people well. Heck yeah Washburn Law class of 2010

Republican Kris Kobach appears to have lost Kansas’ attorney general race, with Democrat Chris Mann leading by roughly 12,000 votes. The remaining ballots are concentrated in deep-blue Johnson County.

I’m so eager for this and I know opening a new business takes time and the shifting target open dates are killing me.

There is a good chance that Cindy Holscher (D) holds on to win the Kansas governor race. She would succeed Democrat Laura Kelly. Kansas hasn’t elected back to back governors of the same party since 1965.

2026 has been rough, starting with losing one of the kids’ grandmothers in January. Today my youngest made her a Día de los Muertos altar and ofrenda and were smiling remember everything she loved and that we love about her.

POV: You’re 9, you decide you want to set a PR in candy collection on Halloween and you’re a bike kid who was watched your cargo bike dad make trailers your whole life.

Happy Halloween from a true Alexandria icon. Make this Halloween the 🐐 , y’all.

Very grateful for the protected bike lanes on Pegram, Van Dorn, King (from the intersection of doom onward) and Seminary because I had so many last minute Halloween errands and no car today. Gorgeous weather, saw a lot of great decorations too. 🙏🏻 🎃 👻
