CP wishes to remind all local folks about the Envisioning Annapolis lecture Tuesday, November 27 at The Boys and Girls Club at 7 pm. NOT AT MARYLAND HALL. The Boys and Girls Club is at the Bates Heritage Center (Old Bates HS) 121 South Villa Ave, off West Street.

For the half century, cities have focused on getting more cars with more people to more places in our urban environment. The results have been traffic congestion, longer commute times, ever expanding roadway infrastructure, and a deterioration of the urban environment. Jane Holtz Kay, architectural critic for The Nation and renowned author of Asphalt Nation, will discuss the economic, emotional, and physical gridlock caused by cars in American cities and propose ways to get where we need to go without destroying where we live.
I read her book Asphalt Nation and was nodding my noggin in agreement the entire time. Check out the cover with the red and green Saab getting dumped. Red and green--perfect colors for this season of over-consumption. CP urges you to attend. Please walk, ride a bike, carpool or take Annapolis Transit.......
