Portland's East Side Neighborhoods Are Still Great -- Here's Why @CityNerd

CityNerd | Portland's East Side Neighborhoods Are Still Great -- Here's Why @CityNerd | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Like nearly every city, the greatest streets and neighborhoods in Portland, Oregon exist where the long-abandoned electric streetcars ran. Today we're touring Portland's east side to find remnants of that age and talk about why its lingering impact is so important.

$Inside the Las Vegas Loop: Transportation Game-Changer, or Complete Waste of Time and Effort? Perhaps youve heard about the Las Vegas Loop, an invention of Elon Musks THE Boring Company, currently connecting the three main halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) with Teslas as the vehicles of choice. Todays video gives you a first-hand look at the LVCC Loop, looking at how the tunnel system operates, asking whether its useful, and looking at future plans. What this video does NOT include which you mightve seen in viral videos around the time of the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show is a Vegas Loop traffic jam. In fact, what your intrepid videographer uncovered was exactly the opposite: either a little-used system on what should have been a busy convention day (the National Automobile Dealers Association), or a system that was simply shut down for the day. Well look at long-range plans for a 51-station network of Tesla tunnels centered around the Las Vegas Strip, and well investigate the next phase of Las Vegas Loop: a one-way tunnel from the Las Vegas Convention Centers West Hall to the new Resorts World casino hotel, a quarter of a mile away on the Strip.
