I know everything closes in Phoenix at 9PM, but I had no idea you consider 7PM "late night"!
What do YOU suggest, "Ucbay" ?
You seem like a really "smart" fella - howsabout you design something like a "Star Trek" Transporter beam ?
THAT would save lots of lives (unless it malfunctioned - as it seemed to do a LOT on the TV series)
Another victim of the deadly auto culture. We need to advance past this ancient way of transportation.
