So, I went out to eat Thursday night with a couple of friends. We were sitting outside on a patio and it was just a surreal scene observing the environment. With no one down there anymore and everyone working from home (thus no car traffic), the streets of downtown/uptown seem to have turned into a recreation park of sorts.
It was bike rider after scooter rider after skateboarder who have completely taken over the streets. Packs of them. There are no traffic laws obeyed. They literally just ride out in the middle of the streets with no care. Watched a dude on his bike completely crash his bike in the middle of McKinney because he caught his front tire in a trolley track and went over the top of his handles directly in front of a trolley. He got up and walked away but he was screaming down the middle of McKinney without a care in the world until that moment.
Anyway, just a surreal evening. Just really wonder what the long-term outcome of all of this is.
