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.

I know that Charles County Maryland is in the south, but growing oranges?

Not all "farmers" markets are "producer" markets, where the crops sold are actually grown locally and/or sold by the farmers growing the crops. (This is a particular problem with the "farmers" line on Saturdays at Eastern Market...)
