Places Worth Caring About: About This Blog

http://placesworthcaringabout.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html

Places Worth Caring About. This blog is collection of thoughts and photos related to my experience out and about the city in which I live, Los Angeles, and anywhere I may be traveling. I began preparing this blog several months before actually making anything available for viewing by anyone but myself. In that time I began reading Urbanism With Effort. In my professional life I strive to avoid planner jargon so what I write here will probably lack it as well. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Cities and Towns ...

Lessons | City of Rhetoric

https://cityofrhetoric.wordpress.com/lessons

Writing and Teaching about Place. I started this blog, in part, to help students in my English 350 course, Expository Writing: Rhetorics of Place. Which I teach at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. What I hoped to model for them was:. An attentiveness to one’s surroundings;. A habit of close observation, of noticing and note-taking;. A willingness to share personal experiences, memories, and stories;. A confidence that one’s response to the world will be recognized by others;. You are commenting u...

Writing and Teaching about Place. November 11, 2014. Middot; by David Fleming. The system is a continuation of the Mt. Tom Range to the west; both are sub-ranges of the Metacomet Ridge, which runs mostly north-south between New Haven, Connecticut, and Greenfield, Massachusetts. The ridge, named for the seventeenth century Native American leader Metacom, or King Philip, is geologically distinct from the nearby Appalachian Mountains, being composed primarily of volcanic basalt, or trap rock.

Ultra Local Geography: 1818-1826 W. Morse Avenue

http://ultralocal.blogspot.com/2015/05/1818-1826-w-morse-avenue.html

Friday, May 8, 2015. 1818-1826 W. Morse Avenue. I always enjoy seeing these frame houses on Morse, especially in the winter when their colors stand out against the snow. I suppose that's why I kept the snow in this illustration, even though it overtaxed my modest coloring skills. 1818-1826 W. Morse (north side). May 9, 2015 at 8:45 AM. Ive also been puzzled by the chickens on the columns. May 11, 2015 at 8:18 AM. But I would definitely miss them if they disappeared. May 12, 2015 at 9:28 PM.

Table of Train Weights | Pedestrian Observations

https://pedestrianobservations.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/table-of-train-weights

For Walkability and Good Transit, and Against Boondoggles and Pollution. Table of Train Weights. Here are some trains, and their weights. The headline figure is weight per linear meter of length, but also includes other metrics of interest. Not included is any feature of interior design, such as the number of seats or the number and location of doors, as those reflect choices about seated vs. standing capacity and about the relative importance of quick boarding and alighting. Coradia Cont., 4 cars. Just ...

Places Worth Caring About: Decent Urban Form

http://placesworthcaringabout.blogspot.com/2015/01/in-world-of-city-planning-and-urban.html

Places Worth Caring About. January 4, 2015. You might not like the color. You might not like the architecture and you might not like the chain stores, but this is a pretty good project. The entrance to the parking is aligned with the cross street so although it's not a real street it is placed in a location that drivers and pedestrians would expect cars to be entering and exiting. This is the project looking east. There are awnings and patio dining. My biggest complaint is the lack of shade trees.

You are here: Home. 45; Why I voted for Obey Creek. Why I voted for Obey Creek. POSTED ON June 18th, 2015. Monday night’s vote in favor the Obey Creek. Development concluded six years of analysis, exploration, discussion, deliberation, and debate. The debate over the scale of the development was in part (and no small part) about the details of the development. In part it was about something larger, and harder to define. About future development of the Town’s existing park-and-ride property. Responding to...
