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.

A cat walks "on the wrong side" of the trail, going north.

A serious amount of graffiti laid down in the vicinity of Rhode Island Avenue. (John mentioned this in a comment on Friday so I knew to look for it.) It reads "What are you today?" and there is a bunch of miscellaneous graffiti to the south of this piece, which is designed to show up from the subway tracks above.
