@Jim: Wow. I had never put the two of them together. Maybe if more people became aware of the resemblance we wouldn’t be left with so many Frawley-designed ranch houses just sitting on the market.

I dunno … the resemblance is uncanny. Then again, TV’s William Frawley and architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe also looked a lot alike, and I’m at least 65 percent sure they weren’t the same person.

@Jim: Doesn’t look like it.
But . . . uh, they sure do look alike.

Is co-founder Erik Ibarra the same Erik Ibarra who’s been after the sheriff’s department, I wonder? Maybe that’s what the cool kids are doing with $1.7 million settlements these days: starting electric car shuttle services.

Good catch, Pat — though REV’s description isn’t entirely clear. I’ve updated the post.

Swamplot needs to edit their description of this service. The text seems to indicate one can only travel from on REV stop to another REV stop. From the REV website however, it seems they will pick you up at the stop and drop you anywhere in the Downtown / Midtown area.

The idea sounds good, but these little cars won’t be going far. They only have a 30 miles range before they have to be recharged. Fifteen two miles trips and the battery is dead.

We bought an ad! One of the first I think. People love these little cars.
