Alone at last!

Violent rioting in Berkeley (where have I heard that before?).

Do the promoters of this petition to bring back the Hiawatha train route realize the many physical and legal obstacles in their way?  Like, people’s houses, and rails-to-trails rides like the one up in Taft?  Condemning these “encroachments” on the old railbed will. take. decades.
