Hello to my Bluesky followers. I’m working on a story about the dog poop situation in NYC and beyond.

Have you seen any effective methods employed by neighbors or city governments that have been successful in getting people to clean up after their pets? I want to hear about it!

Train hoppers ride the rails across America — and you can tag along Civil War-era hobos hopped trains to find work. Content creators hop trains with their GoPros. Hitching rides on the railroad is an American tradition.

A while back my editor showed me a reel of someone jumping on a train to ride it, and wanted me to look into it.

The story that ensues covers the long history (and love affair) between human beings and riding the rails, sometimes at any cost. My latest @npr.org
