@renegade4-13 Here is the current draft for the story under the read more, not all characters have been introduced yet, but this is what I have written so far
I find the old gay neighborhoods fascinating in the major role in the gay liberation movement. Additionally the way that they were often amazing urban environments and the tragedy of gentrification makes them truly interesting. I know it's not pride month anymore, but these places deserve a poll.
Best Gay village, prior to the gentrification of course.
Greenwich village/Hells Kitchen (NYC)
Boystown (Chicago)
Provincetown
The Gayborhood (Philly)
the French Quarter (New Orleans)
Capitol Hill (Seattle)
The Highlands (Louisville)
the Castro (San Francisco)
WeHo/Santa Monica (LA)
South Beach (Miami)
See ResultsHey, Midwesterners do you want to go to Chicago? No? Well too bad! you want to go to Chicago, it's your only option. Trust me Chicago is a lovely city that you want to visit. No I am not giving you a choice, your going to Chicago
The reason that every Long Distance Train ends in either Chicago, New York, New Orleans or Seattle is because we want you to expirence a Walkable City before you die

Since it’s pride month is it free-for-fags™ to ride the train?
amtrak-official answered:
I mean it obviously is, but remember it is also free to dykes
We have done a press release, let me summarize.
@kayt-was-taken, That’s the fun part they already do that on their own, without any help at all!! <3

You hate light rail and love trolleys, right? But in Philly, the light rail IS the trolley. So do you love or hate the trolleys? (PS if you're unfamiliar, check out the route 15 trolleys specifically, they're the coolest ones)
amtrak-official answered:
Trolleys are kind old fellows, Light rail is a stupid Modernist with no soul. I love Trolleys and streetcars and would give them the world, because they have a fucking point. Lightrail on the other hand…
Okay so @angstylittlecatboy these aren't offical definitions but, Light rail is basically cheaper normal rail that can carry fewer people and is slower, but is more able to run on streets. This is because it is an indecisive little bitch of a transit form. Meanwhile a streetcar is designed for street running and thus is more streamlined, and even cheaper, but has actual soul and is more likely to have fucking dedicated lanes. In short a streetcar is designed for at grade and street running and is better for areas that can't be served by traditional rail due to elevation, cost , or space, meanwhile light rail is normal rail but shitty and with less capacity, but can run in traffic, what a useful fucking invention.
Trams and Trolleys are forms of streetcars and are just as majestic, and beautiful

See ResultsYeah @cityofduluthmn, that the issue, the only real plan for the whole of America or even just noncoastal America currently on the table is Amtrak Connects Us and while I love it so much, Amtrak Connects Us is more of a dream than a plan. And I wanted to use plans in action now, but yeah I want to try to do this while ignoring the coasts so I can get some more midwest love in these kinds of polls.
