do you join a group or just find a cool place you want to go to get away from distractions? looks beautiful

haha-- you got me!

I wonder when that shift occurred. On the east coast my mom lives in an established subdivision where she can easily walk through to another estate, or down to the seaside and train station, or out to the main road, and their building a brand new estate behind her (will it be connected, let's see?)

Wasn't aware of these recent cultural changes--gotta pay more attention on my summer visits!

where are these? I think of Irish suburbs as really good on pedestrian cut-throughs compared to at least California suburbs, where people love to live on culs-de-sac but never occurs to anybody what pedestrians would prefer.

huh, I can't view it right now either. will repost once the website recovers. thanks!

Mark Siegler (Sac State) has a good & up to date textbook-- not sure about the slides part though. It doesn't end with the Great Depression like many other books.

definitely for the better. great line-up of papers.
