The Mayor Riley Speech (sans pictures)

I have heard Mayor Joseph Riley of Charleston speak twice, once at the APA meeting in DC, and then at the National Trust meeting last year in Louisville. Even though it was the same speech, it's worth hearing again and again. Of course, it's better when it's illustrated.

Mayor Riley is committed to beauty, historic preservation, urban design, and quality, and it shows--every day--in today's Charleston.

I am doing some research for a journal article, and came across this speech (yep, the same speech) presented in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Fortunately, the Tulsans have put the speech online, so that anybody can read it.

Now if we can only run down the illustrations...
