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.

National Train Day is today

I forgot to mention this earlier. There are events in DC, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles and other cities.

- National Train Day website

- Schedule of events in DC

A couple years ago there were "exhibits" of privately owned train cars and locomotive engines. (Imagine being wealthy enough that you can afford to collect locomotive engines...)
