    McDonough.com | The Living City: Chicago

    i just picked up McDonough and Braungart's book Cradle to Cradle and noticed in the back that chi-town is listed as one of their partners. This is McDonough's overview of the partnership. It's a little lacking on details, but as far as I know Chicago is the only city that has seriously considered Cradle to Cradle for city renovation.

    also, the book is freaking awesome from a fetishist's perspective. it smells like no other book i have ever smelled and it is almost infinitely eraseable. i underlined a bunch of stuff on one page with a fine pen, took a wet washcloth, and successfully scrubbed off all the marks and underlinings without damage to either 'paper' or ink. pretty pretty cool...

    I found this totally helpful for Chicago Community Supported Agriculture programs. There's a freaking awesome meat CSA whose web address isn't listed (it's http://www.cedarvalleysustainable.com/id11.html ).

    Stop the promoter’s ordinance « Save Chicago Culture

    I just found out about a recent push in city government for an "Events Promoters" ordinance that would force competely unrealistic criteria upon small events promotors. The effects of this ordinance are potentially disastrous for local and independent music and theater.

    Quoted: Imagine a Chicago with no Metro or Double Door...

    Paris' Popular Bike Program May Inspire Others : NPR

    Paris' highly successful Véllib program is almost definitely coming to Chicago. Apparently the city gov't is working out offers from JCDecaux and Clearchannel. While I would rarely, if ever have to use it, the benefits to cycling in Chicago would be enormous if the program were successful (more bike lanes, more drivers accustomed to and aware of cyclists, less traffic and pollution, and so on).

    Quoted: Launched in July, Paris' "Velib" bikes were part of the mayor's idea of making the city more ecologically friendly and reducing traffic. Just two months on, the bikes seem to be changing the way people get around the city.

    Chicago Spire

    Construction just began on the Chicago Spire, which will be the tallest building in the world for a little while. It looks like a twisted dildo. No, seriously...
