Isnt this just what happens everywhere now? Every cool old thing in this city gets swapped for some plain gray nothing because its cheaper to cover up than fix. That tile map was actual art, they couldnt just leave it alone.

Did he also tell you to adjust your travel speed on the roll?

Mine took almost two weeks to stop smelling like paint thinner (gross, I know). The smell changed about three days before I saw any real rise, which threw me off because I kept checking the jar expecting bubbles and getting nothing. What finally clicked for me was using warm water instead of tap cold, that alone cut the funky stage way down. Once it smelled like plain yogurt, the doubling started happening fast, like within a day or two. Now I just watch for that smell shift as my cue that things are on track.
