The Buffalo Bills won’t leave Buffalo for Los Angeles, no matter how small or how large the shakedown the team manages to get from terrified local officials, because there are three other National Football League cities for which Los Angeles is a more credible threat—to the extent that LA or any other alternative venue is a credible threat at all.

One of my favorite things about living in a shrinking city is exploring abandoned industrial properties, and collecting souvenirs from those places.

Salvaging and exploring kind of go hand in hand for me.
