I remember when I visited Raleigh last year and witnessed firsthand the early stages of their smart city innovation—it's fascinating to see how far they've come in such a short time! The new Philadelphia map focusing on accessibility is a game changer for those with mobility issues. And that tech support quip about the Russian tank gave me a good chuckle; always appreciate a bit of humor in newsletters!
