Greetings!
I prefer to keep myself minimally Googlable, but you can see my name in the e-mail address above.
This is my third year on the board of the Hyde Park Co-op and I've just been term-limited from the Hyde Park-Kenwood Community Conference board, although I now serve on its nominating committee. Strengthening our institutions isn't the only way to improve our neighborhood, but it's my favorite way.
This blog will seek to increase awareness of urbanist principles as they relate to Hyde Park. I welcome submissions along those lines and would consider sharing this blog with like-minded writers.
I've been in Hyde Park since 2001 and this, by far, the best neighborhood I've ever lived in. That's not to say it couldn't be improved, but the underlying character of HP is fine with me. I therefore take a dim view of those who simultaneously gripe about its few shortcomings and disrespect those who volunteer for tasks intended to enhance its livability.
