short horror stories to read :: Article Creator These Are Your Roadwork Horror Stories "Around 20 years ago I was visiting relative in Mobile. 15 miles pas Citronelle ion US Highway 45, I rand into a 'Road Closed' sign, signaling the bridge was out and I had to detour on a county road, which I did. This was supposed to be three miles around the construction site. That detour took nearly 10 miles. "I am not lying. This was scary. The road was narrow. All the vehicles travelling on 45 had to take that road. Narrow, curvy roads and lots of 18-wheelers are not great mix. And this was the deep woods, folks. I love in the woods myself, but at least there is space on the side of the road if you need to pull over. The trees were right near the edge of the road. There wasn't even a ditch.

non fiction books 2022 :: Article Creator Planetizen's Top Planning Books Of 2023 It might be cliché, at this point, to harp on post-pandemic shifts in society and governance. Three years in, the world has changed in some significant ways—and stayed staunchly the same in others. But the field of planning, like much of society, is in its own ways still reeling from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and adjusting to new realities that are reconfiguring the way we use space, how we move, and how we look at the world. We are also reckoning with the increasingly unpredictable impacts of a volatile climate, stronger hurricanes and more intense winter storms, sea level rise, more destructive fires, and longer heat waves.

In a 2020 interview with Collider, the director said: "The reality is the pressure of the world was upon us, and on me particularly because I knew if I screwed this one up it's all over. You can't screw up this book. So I had to go to the set every day with sort of tunnel vision in terms of not thinking about the outside world, and that was a lot easier 19 years ago before the internet blew up." He went on to talk about the ...
