Reception
29th Street got 82% good reviews based on 11 reviews, considered "Fresh", on Rotten Tomatoes.[2]
gollark: Fun fact: Wojbie's facts are not fun.
gollark: On NPM.
gollark: Fun fact: is-even and is-odd get several million weekly downloads.
gollark: All hail Sensible Functional Languages, in which `[1] == [1]` is actually true for once and `1 == "1.0"` is a type error.
gollark: It's probably just that that ridiculous JS `==` only does *one* weird conversion, per call.
