Platform Presents… The Sunset Junction?!

December 28th, 2009 7 Comments

Another announcement of such cultural and social significance it needs no annotation. If you are *at all* interested in local live music, you’ve probably heard murmurings of what’s been brewing at the Junction… Sometimes people don’t realize what is in their own back yard: 1801 W.

December 11th, 2009 12 Comments

Tuesday I went through all the rigamarole of signing in for a badge to attend a meeting at City Hall. Wednesday I listened to a fascinating, albeit fanciful, presentation by an architecture student on converting our downtown skywalks into hydroponic juice farms.
