Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

Customer Service

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Funky Winkerbean.gifI find that "Funky Winkerbean" and the related "Crankshaft", comic strips that run in the Washington Times, tend to have some pretty good commentary about "Main Street" and customer service type issues.

Lucky Cow Comic StripNo local newspaper runs "Lucky Cow," a comic strip set in the workplace of a fast food restaurant (the Washington Post considered it but chose not to, instead they have "Pearls before Swine" which is hit or miss, but distributed by the Washington Post Writers Group) but I like it.
