"They went door-to-door to tell their neighbors what the city had not told them: The data center would use twice as much electricity as all of Monterey Park."
The city’s notification in English reached only 40 people living within 500 feet. Activists worked in English, Chinese, Spanish & more!
Interesting! I was also using desktop browser, but it only showed up at medium zoom distance (weirdly?) - too close and it vanishes.

Oh neat, thank you!
Apple Maps screenshot. Two "Monterey" labels at the top left and bottom right of the map. The Monterey on the left is the known one in Owen County. The Monterey on the right is my mystery Monterey. I've circled both and drawn a line between them.
The two Montereys.
Google Maps and Apple Maps both claim there's a Monterey there! This is somewhere along that stretch of Paris Pike with the green median, just before you get to the golf course.
Map zoomed in on the northeast quarter of Fayette County (shown in blue) with the surrounding area light gray. Halfway between the Fayette County line and Paris is the map label "Monterey."
Huh. Lexington council district map shows a place named Monterey in Bourbon County. Unsure if it's mislabeled, misplaced, or if there's just a secret, second Monterey forty miles east from Monterey.

A glorious silver-domed gym in Jackson, Kentucky which accommodated generations of Breathitt County graduates, held a Loretta Lynn concert, and hosts basketball tournaments to this day!
wow!! i hadn't realized it was such an icon! all that pine in the interior is stunning, and it predates WHHS' gym by about 20 years. thank you for the read!!
Sweet! I know where you're talking about! Downtown Jackson has some really nice views. Incidentally: do you know if that silver-domed building next to the high school a gym? Was curious, since it reminded me of Western Hills' gym in Frankfort.
oh cool! weather office related?
a picture taken from the passenger-side window of a car. there is a guardrail in the foreground, and an intersection underneath the bridge the car is going over. the roads all cut through valleys between large hills. In the background, a double rainbow is visible, the inner bow particularly vibrant and defined.
they make really great rainbows over there
hell yeah!
wow 💙 hello past emily
Picture taken from a highway median. Two two-lane roads stretch onward under a bright but cloudy sky. The roads are wet from recent rain, and a rainbow hangs overhead.
