This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

As an American I'm just assuming that road was moved to be widened and a bunch of low income housing and many blocks worth of historic buildings were demolished in the process.
Don't worry, the historic buildings were destroyed years ago to meet minimum parking requirements
They did that in my hometown... :^)
Good old "urban renewal".
Low income housing is a far better use of space than preserving "historic" buildings that are actually just out of code, poorly designed, and slowly decaying old houses that never actually had any historical significance.
The needs of people who are alive and struggling today are infinitely more important than your nostalgia for the homes of dead rich cunts.
Way to miss the point and go out of your way to be mean to someone who probably strongly agrees with you
You totally misread what I wrote, but thanks for the pointless rant. For a minute there it felt just like being back on reddit.
No, the street is now underground.
