I hope you all had a wonderful summer! Best of luck in the new school year!

On the current and local events front: “Midtown” Unveiled; project aims to spur transformation of Upper King Street.
The Midtown project will be presented to the Charleston Board of Architectural Review in a special meeting at 4:30 p.m. March 3 in the fourth-floor meeting room at 75 Calhoun St. I know it’s Spring Break, but maybe I’ll see some of you there. (For more information, you can see a city planning document with some great graphics at http://www.charleston.net/midtown/.)
For my urban planning students – does anything about this project make you think of Jane Jacobs? Robert Moses? Cataclysmic money even?

TGIF!
Just quickly pointing out two updates to the edublog format – there’s now a tag cloud to the right and an option, just below it, to sign up to get the blog in your email. This may be best for those of you wanting to know the moment I grade something or post on WebCT. 
I’ll be adding tags for events soon, as we have many coming this semester, starting with today’s meet-and-greet. Hope to see you in 12 Bull at 5:30!
Enjoy your long weekend! – Prof. McStotts
