The Agile City
The Agile City by James S. Russell is an easy to read, pro-city book. Feeling much like a Richard Florida book at points, the author highlights examples of cities getting things right in regard to building wealth and dealing with the effects (and causes) of climate change. It is neither a book about green washing, nor is it filled with pie-in-the-sky "green" plans for how to remake the way we live. The book focuses on practical objectives to build wealth and well-being through cities.

Motorcycle Parking Motorcycles parked along Lincoln Memorial Drive for the Milwaukee Air and Water Show. East Town Farmer's Market The East Town Market at Cathedral Square in downtown Milwaukee. Hosted by the East Town Assocation. The market wraps much of the park. Zoom Room The Zoom Room "Dog Agility Training Center and Canine Social Club" replaced a laundry mat that had no street facing windows or light up sign. Clearly an improvement, but still leaving a little to be desired (windows on the Humboldt Avenue side, use the corner door). A good use for the building until someday something mixed-use and multi-story that mixes with the character of the neighborhood can be built there. Up and Under The Up and Under bar. A good place to see live music on Brady Street. Located at 1216 E Brady Street on Milwaukee’s Lower East Side Two Way Traffic on Wells Street Some of the first two-way traffic on Wells Street in downtown Milwaukee. Riding in a car with Alison.
