If you are driving into the game today, please remember that people live in this neighborhood.

Not 45 minutes ago I was riding my cargo bike heading down asbury and came to the intersection with Lincoln. I came to a full stop with both feet on the ground and, even though I was the only one at the 3-way intersection, I still signaled I was turning left before turning east on Lincoln. 75% of the way through the intersection, an older lady in a red SUV heading east on Lincoln ran the stop sign and nearly plowed into me. The only reason I didn’t end up getting hit is because I turned quickly and rolled off my bike, spraining my ankle in the process. The lady stoped, gave me a look I can only describe as “how dare you inconvenience me,“ before speeding off before I could get her plate.

Then I crossed the bridge so I could sit at one of the picnic tables in the park to check out my ankle. I immediately saw a different older woman with a couple children stuck in the middle of the clearly marked crosswalk between the golf course and the park with cars whipping around them from both directions refusing to stop. I ended up having to limp my fat ass and my bike over to block traffic so they could they could finish crossing. 2 incidents in 2 minutes on the same 40yd stretch on Lincoln. I reported everything to EPD’s non-emergency number and they were nice enough to send a car to post up by the intersection with their lights on. Be careful out there!

I spent three years building an enormous model of Springfield

Over three years, in my spare time after work and on weekends, I handmade 76 individual buildings to make this miniature Springfield model. It took me a while to work out the map but it was loosely based on the 2007 video game. Having watched a lot of Simpsons I first looked for any buildings that were consistently established to be next to each other. From there, I just placed what felt right. Oh, of course Principal Skinner’s house is opposite Krusty Burger. I had a bit of fun placing the church, the retirement Centre, the graveyard, Reverend Lovejoys, and bad dream house from the very first treehouse of horror, within the same area. The buildings are made out of 2 mm MDF, paper and very occasionally a tiny 3-D print printed element. The overall size is 2.4 m x 2.4 m. There’s no particular scale - I call it fun size .. but it’s very close to regular matchbox car toy size. I wasn’t sponsored or paid to make it - it was for fun and hopefully enable me to grow my online presence and get commissions in the future. I spent a ton of money on it especially taking it to a studio to shoot properly… but like I said at the end of the day, I did it for fun and I loved immersing myself in that world for a time.

Obviously, it’s against the community rules to promote any accounts, but if you do want to see all the making of videos that I created, it’s pretty easy to find me through a search browser.
