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.

Jamin Raskin Maryland State Senate Campaign Field Office, in DC (plus ruminations about the Maryland Governor's Race)

I am always intrigued by "anomolies" with regard to elections in the region, because of our tight borders. This Maryland State Senate campaign field office for the Takoma Park area is located in DC...

Plus, speaking of Maryland politics, the Duncan announcement yesterday was a shocker. I heard it on the radio and I was surprised. (Forgot to blog about it though.).

It makes the fall election much more competitive, because now the Democratic candidates won't spend the rest of the summer beating each other up to get ahead, therefore allowing the Republican candidate more of a free ride.

Well, remember what the Hulk said... "it's clobbering time" although I expect this to be a close election, and there is no question that the job of the Mayor in Baltimore is not yet finished, which will be a campaigning point on the part of Gov. Ehrlich vs. his Democratic opponent.
