it's come to this: The end of suburbia

It's come to this. A 20-something's thoughts on suburbia, life and the times. Sunday, August 10, 2008. The end of suburbia. The whole suburban project, I think, can be summarized pretty succinctly as the greatest misallocation of resources in the history of the world.". The moral: it might be wise to start growing some veggies. And befriend a bike mechanic. In the meantime, you can find out just how screwed you are with this nifty little website. My old Chicago apartment rates as a "walker's paradise" wi...

It's come to this. A 20-something's thoughts on suburbia, life and the times. Monday, September 29, 2008. Breaking and Entering: Gary, Ind. I learned two things this weekend. The first is that Gary, Indiana is, indeed, what is appears to be from the highway - a crumbling shell of a city. The second is that tromping through a falling-down city feels a lot different than tromping through the falling-down country. Here are more sights from around town:. Train station, we think. Inside the train station.

It's come to this. A 20-something's thoughts on suburbia, life and the times. Saturday, July 5, 2008. Breaking and Entering: Gas Station. On a search for peaches this afternoon in the farms outside Walla Walla, Wash., my friends and I came across this old gas station, tucked with goats and old trucks next to a disheveled-but-still-functional home. Inside was nothing too thrilling, I saw through a smashed window: boxes of yarn and old lamps galore. Walla Walla made a blog. What's next for the Big City?

It's come to this. A 20-something's thoughts on suburbia, life and the times. Monday, June 2, 2008. That's a conversation stopper. Interview faux pas, #76:. Her: Both my parents died when I was 18, so. Me: Both your parents died when you were 18? How did that happen? Her: Murder-suicide. My mother tried to leave my father, so he shot her and then he shot himself. Me: So that must've been rough. How did that happen? So, you know how to use InDesign? June 3, 2008 at 10:01 AM.

It's come to this. A 20-something's thoughts on suburbia, life and the times. Friday, June 27, 2008. I was going through my computer files at work on Friday and came across a blurb I wrote for my Friendster page (remember Friendster? Almost a year and a half ago. As I sit here in a skeleton of my bedroom, wondrous that all my worldly belongings may actually fit into one car tomorrow, I can't think of a better way to describe it. You know what's weird? I'm going to miss this place. Links to this post.

it's come to this: Journalistic karma
http://sarahbethany.blogspot.com/2008/05/journalistic-karma.html
It's come to this. A 20-something's thoughts on suburbia, life and the times. Tuesday, May 6, 2008. As a reporter, and now as a "news editor," I've gotten used to people getting mad at me. It's one of the best things this job has done for me, actually. When I started, I was terrified of pissing people off. I would put off phone calls to CEOs and politicians for days, the butterflies growing in my stomach, because I knew they'd be mean to me. For the past few months I've followed a story that was leaked t...

It's come to this. A 20-something's thoughts on suburbia, life and the times. Thursday, May 29, 2008. Yup, they're still out there. There's this man. He's pretty well known around here because he used to write a column for the daily paper in town. He was asked to stop writing that column, for reasons that will soon become apparent, but he still writes frequent letters to the editor of that paper and ours. Let's call this man George. This is the kind of stuff I deal with. Anyway. If you want your ass and ...
