Happy friends
Posted in: UncategorizedI have some more video on my camera, but I can’t edit anything on my laptop so it will have to wait until I get back to Calgary. Here’s a little peek inside a drawer at The Regional Assembly of Text.

Meet Greet
Posted in: Uncategorized
The Regional Assembly of Text is a marvelous place! Brandy and Rebecca were so friendly and generous—I am completely inspired by their store, products and approach to business. I’ve taken dozens of pictures, but you’ll have to wait until the fall issue for those!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by; it was so nice to meet you all. This trip to Vancouver was really enjoyable—thank you for the warm reception!

Weekend project idea: Bed-side table cleanup
Posted in: Uncategorized
The small tables we set next to our beds that hold the alarm clock, a lamp, a book, and reading glasses acquire random objects from time to time. This weekend, give your nightstand a little attention and see if it can use some uncluttering love.
Purge the clutter, organize the items that belong, and make any repairs necessary to the piece of furniture. I picked mine up to get a good look at it and discovered three cat toys that had been trapped underneath it for months. I also found a pack of expired Tums that went straight into the trash. Honestly, I was surprised that I didn’t find more clutter, but I was glad to have gone through this easily overlooked space. Maybe a year from now, I’ll remember again.
While we’re talking about bed-side tables, I spotted a Nightstand Charging Dock for iPhones that transforms the phone into a more traditional alarm clock. Check out this review on Apartment Therapy to learn more.
Have a relaxing, uncluttering weekend!

Design Absent in Public Re-Review of Atlantic Yards Project
Posted in: Uncategorized
With Frank Gehry out and Ellerbe Becket in on Forest City Ratner’s recession-battered Atlantic Yards project, no one is sure what the mixed-use development will look like. With the estimated price tag approaching $5 billion, the Atlantic Yards is now back in public review, even though there’s nothing to look at just yet. According to The New York Observer, the new renderings won’t be ready until fall, after the the public re-review period has closed.
“We do not expect a formal review process [of the renderings] by the public,” said state official Darren Bloch at a public hearing last week. “We expect to see the renderings by Forest City Ratner; we expect ourselves, the city, to weigh in on those to some degree, but we do not expect a formal presentation to the public to accept comment from that.” Can they do that? “The argument of the officials and Forest City Ratner is that the original approval from 2006 provided for design guidelines,” notes the Observer‘s Eliot Brown. “And so long as the arena falls in line with those (which they say it will), then they are doing what is required of them at this point.” For up-to-the-minute updates on the project, including video of the “orchestrated disruption” at Wednesday’s meeting, check out Norman Oder‘s tenacious “watchdog” blog, Atlantic Yards Report.
