This weekend I visited Greenfield Village historical park in Dearborn, MI. It was fun to walk through buildings from my hometown of Dayton, OH that were moved here in the 1930s to preserve the Wright Brothers’ contributions to aviation circa 1903. This bike shop is where they invented the airplane.

Who is against corner stores, at least in some locations? Lockeland Springs appears to be getting a new bodega at 16th/Ordway two doors down from Bill’s Sandwich Palace. This is in the interior of the neighborhood though it is located along what had once been a streetcar line. Looking forward to it!

Great night for a walk to check out progress at the neighborhood spot at 16th/Ordway in Lockeland Springs. The sidewalk improvement project design started during my term. Grateful to CM @claycapp.bsky.social for working to finish that project. Sidewalk seating and a new bodega coming two doors down!

Good morning from Bay City, Michigan. Love the mural and the bike racks.

It was fun to check out the construction progress at the District Wharf since the last time I was here in 2021. Love the new fountain that juxtaposes natural stone with its texture and angular edges with the smooth, circular and curvilinear buildings and walkways that were designed around it.

Thanks to @victoryinstitute.bsky.social for organizing this AM’s #LGBTQLeaders24 plenary, The Future of Artificial Intelligence. The panelists from the industry, labor, journalism and legislative sectors held a robust discussion. Key takeaway: use the power of convening to reach positive outcomes.

Thanks to @victoryinstitute.bsky.social for scheduling today’s #LGBTQLeaders2024 conference break-out session on #ClimateChange and adaptation. The Climate Adaptive Cities and States: Strategies for Municipal and State Leaders panel offered valuable insights for city/county planning professionals.
