In typical "breaking news" fashion, several news vans were already there, prepping their reports. We just had our lousy camera phone. Obvious news of the day: It's freakin' windy out!

The battle over the Orange Line continues unabated, as Valley NIMBY's have now accused the MTA of cooking the numbers in their court-ordered EIR on potential Orange Line alternatives. The study, which Citzens Organized for Smart Transit (COST) forced upon the MTA after getting a sympathetic judge to block construction on the nearly completed line last summer, unsurprisingly (and to the great chagrin of NIMBY's) shows the Orange Line to be a more effective......
