Laura takes a drive on Sprague and Division.


Sprague and Division are silently begging for infill. 



It is impossible to drive any distance on our two major cross section streets without being confronted with monuments to failure and wasted potential. You see it so often it becomes invisible. Laura took a drive with her camera to help us see how much commercial and mixed use space we already have.

My Mom gets it!

A text from my mom:
"Affordable housing-- NW Blvd Albertsons site -- close to schools and bus routes! Hope this qualifies."



It certainly does, mom!
