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.

Speaking of (making attending) DC baseball (games affordable)

One of the ways to have affordable baseball watching opportunities would be to create a minor league baseball team that would also play in the Washington Nationals stadium, obviously on different days.

Last year, the Brooklyn Cyclones (granted there isn't a professional baseball team there), but there are two in other boroughs, as well as other minor league teams in the city--Staten Island Yankees, games cost from $5 to $12 per ticket... (Check out the reviews of this book: The Brooklyn Cyclones: Hardball Dreams and the New Coney Island for more on this "idea".)
