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.

Does it really matter?

In every town I've been so far (Morgan City, New Iberia, and Houma) and the French Quarter in New Orleans, the window displays in storefronts have been magnificent. Really, really good.

So I am going to bring up again the question of "Does adding Walgreen's to the retail environment in Washington, DC add anything to the uniqueness of what DC has to offer for residents and visitors?

Where are these stores located?

Do you know where this drugstore is (CVS)?
Do you know where this drugstore is (Walgreen's)?
Do you know where this drugstore is (Rite Aid)?

Does it really matter?

Louisiana...
