Respect to OG quantitative geographers! Here is a geovisualization of migration fields on a polar projection centered on Asby, Sweden, from a 1957 report by the great Prof. Torsten Hägerstrand. There are dozens of these hand drawn maps in the report. Citation below
Evanston IL has safe routes around construction for pedestrians and cyclists. Columbus OH - looking in your direction
More airports will be able to use this marketing strategy in the future
Once again, a shoutout to the journal referee who rejected our paper, saying “no one uses public transit to access health care.” Enjoy your privilege, whoever you are.
What a great time we had with @thewaroncars.bsky.social and @transitcolumbus.org last week! Was it all just a dream?
Groundbreaking for the Poindexter Village African American Museum; opening in 2028. Digital 3D urban models from CURA’s Ghost Neighborhoods of Columbus will be featured in an exhibit. It’s getting real!
Honored and grateful to accept this award from The Ohio State University for CURA’s Ghost Neighborhoods of Columbus project. Truly a team effort: it takes a village to build a virtual neighborhood. Srsly!
Sarah Goodyear and Doug Gordon from @thewaroncars.bsky.social visit The Ohio State University Center for Urban and Regional Analysis to chat with transportation students and campus planners
Yes, one more @thewaroncars.bsky.social post for their visit to Columbus - the Columbus Metropolitan Club weekly forum. We’ve put Sarah and Doug through their paces, but I think they had a good time

Brutus Buckeye, welcome to The War on Cars @thewaroncars.bsky.social
Columbus meet and greet with @thewaroncars.bsky.social at Seventh Son brewing, organized by @transitcolumbus.org and Spin micromobility. A good time was had by all.
Bike tour of Columbus with @thewaroncars.bsky.social. I can’t wait to hear their report tomorrow evening at The OSU. Link to the event in the thread.
Riding the Buckeye 250 train! Passenger rail returns to Columbus, very briefly.
I spent the morning in church, helping to promote the forthcoming Poindexter Village African-American Museum in Columbus among visiting museum officials from across the state.
Happy 25th birthday to The Ohio State University’s Center for Urban and Regional Analysis (CURA)! cura.osu.edu
Going through these old beauties with one of my PHD students who has a deep interest in computational approaches to geography theory. There are still a lot of ideas to be mined from these classics!
