City/Nature or Nature is NOT a Saint Bernard
July 18, 2011
We’ve sentimentalized Nature, which has led to its destruction and to a damaging blurring between urbanism and the natural world.

Hipsters proudly proclaim that … More The Hudson Riviera: Why not Vacation in Haverstraw?

Our History of Trains
March 9, 2011
I have been both amazed and frustrated by the recent “national conversation” on high speed rail. Never before in the history of these United States has transportation (especially railroads) become part of the partisan divide. It seems the R’s need more issues to fight over with the D’s; and where are the I’s in all … More Our History of Trains
