The spill was not in Kalamazoo, btw...it was outside Marshall, though indeed into the Kalamazoo River. The current extent of the spill is still 20 or so miles East of Kalamazoo, though that is the la...

I think New York shows up partly because of the sheer number of bike lane miles they have. Chicago has a lot, but New York is orders of magnitude above. That said, I've biked in both cities, and if ...

Not sure what you mean exactly, but coney island dogs in Detroit have ZERO to do with Coney Island in New York. That is a local thing, not imported and embraced....
