Celebration: A Planned Community
*A wholy owned subsidiary of the Disney Corporation*
Seriously.
Came across this story on Boing Boing, all about a community that Disney built in Florida called Celebration. It is definitely interesting from a planning perspective, I really like the ideas of green spaces and a traditional sort of neighborhood as opposed to the suburban monstrosities we see going up around town these days. All in all, I thought it was worth a read.
Other than that, I have been reading more blogs and such again after a year or two hiatus due to information overload. As opposed to a desktop news aggregator I have started using a website called Bloglines in order to keep track of my feeds. More on this later once I get a little more time with it to cement my impressions, but so far I am loving it.
