CCADmonkey lemmy.world9Hide 9 repliesIf you could get the over 65 set to realize the rail lines will help them get somewhere when their kid is at work, they might go for it. But I'm not sure.21
The Picard Maneuver replystartrek.website2Hide 2 repliesI wish we could normalize it everywhere. I think most people would like trains, but only if they didn't have to also drive and park at a station, which is how so much of the country is set up now.13

CCrashumbc replylemmy.worldThe main issue isn't even driving to the station. It's when you get off at the end and everywhere you want to go needs a car to get there...1

MMatthew replyprogramming.dev2Hide 2 repliesGonna need some bridges anyways, if were going to connect the Caribbean locations.3

Uvine_Umarylis partizle.comWe already have 3 of the 4 high speed margarita rails in Florida (no need for one in Key West)7
EEtterra replylemmy.worldOh I'm from Chicago, I can confirm that. There's no such thing as the mid-Midwest.3

UUnverifiedAPK replylemmy.mlYeah, surprisingly a cruise ship could hit most locations with a short bus trip.5
sson_named_bort replylemmy.world1Hide 1 replyThat seems like such a weird place for a Margaritaville.1
This would have been so useful for Eddy
This was the video that led me to Eddy Burback. He's an excellent youtuber.

He could have been sitting in the margaritaville dining car the entire ride!
Ted and Eddy would have been very happy with this
Seriously though, did Youtube recommend us all that video?
I think so and to be fair, it was a BANGER.
I mean, I watched it because I was already subbed

Win-win?
That’s how I convinced my grandpa
Do you think they dyed all their margaritas black in mourning?
Oh god, I don't think I could drink that.
Fuck the West, I guess.
Who would ever need to travel from Seattle to LA?
No margaritas for you, only work.
Maaaaaaaaatttttlllloooooccccckkkk expressway
Probably likely to get more riders than the Murder, She Wrote Express.

I imagine it would use piles instead of bases.

Screw the Pacific Northwest in particular lol
Get a Margaritaville, then we'll talk infrastructure
And the mid-mid West. They apparently don't exist
Oh I'm from Chicago, I can confirm that. There's no such thing as the mid-Midwest.
Rail travel is notably NOT the Parrothead preferred mode of transportation.

No stop in Branson? They'll never go for it.
Where's the Syracuse Margaritaville at the Destiny USA mall?
That seems like such a weird place for a Margaritaville.
That mall is a weird place for anything lol
Honestly, this is dumb enough to work...
I really think things like this could work.
Get drunk and physically abuse your wife in more than 10 locations!
omg, it's a joke.
Lol wut?
Except Tulsa has a stop and there’s no Denver.
Medford has a margaritaville
