I love this: Members of RichmondRail.org have organized a "Tuesday Nights Out" club, in which they and other supporters of rail on Richmond patronize restaurants and other businesses along the possible routes, both to meet and greet neighbors and to show their support for the businesses that would be affected by the rail line. Houston Intown Magazine has a great story about this, which I can't easily quote from since the page is a scanned image. But check it out, and if you too want to see the best line built, consider joining them on a future Tuesday. Current event plans include:
- Feb 13 at Mykonos, 2181 Richmond
- Feb 20 at El Tiempo, 3130 Richmond
- Feb 27 at the Edwards Greenway Palace Stadium 24 - 3839 Weslayan
Contact one of these folks for more info. Thanks to Houstonist for the catch.

Maybe next time you're grousing about the construction along OST, we could schedule a picnic and remind you it's just the price of progress and really for the best? We could even do it on a Tuesday! :)
