About Me

Hello, and thanks for stopping by!
I go by the name of 42-BRT on the Internet. I spend much of my free time documenting things that interest me.

Connect with me on X (@42_brt) and Mastodon (@42_BRT@detmi.social).

My Projects

The Archives of Travel & Transport

A broad collection of media and artifacts relating to public transit and transportation of all kinds, plus hotels, retail, and so much more. Digital video collections are housed on YouTube, with publication of the rest of the collection in progress.
Look for more coming summer 2024.

RustBeltTransit

Documenting public transit in Metro Detroit and elsewhere on my travels.
Photography on Flickr and videography on YouTube.

Wikimedia projects

I am an avid editor of the English Wikipedia, having made nearly 2,000 contributions to the project since 2019.
I have also published hundreds of photos to Wikimedia Commons for public use, which have been featured in many online articles.

Oakland County Retail

Documenting the history of retail in Metro Detroit and beyond, with a blog and a Flickr page.

Various other things

Lots of random maps, photos, and spreadsheets- and you can find them all here.
