I'm back :)

After a few weeks off to gather some content for the website, I’m back!

I’m kicking off the re-launch with a post about the grand opening of the new Fairway Market!  Initially, I really didn’t "get" why Fairway was so special, but after shopping there, I am a believer. Read why it’s more than just a supermarket.

As for future posts, I’m about to assault the world with stories about flowers, just because it’s spring, and I love the local public gardens.  There are so many in the New York Metropolitan area, and it’s important to take advantage of them! Find one to join, or visit them on free days, because it is wonderful to be outdoors (well, if you don’t have allergies).

I’ve also been spending time in some places that people have written off in the past, but have staged remarkable comebacks.  The Bronx is up? Newark is rising?  Yes!  If you haven’t visited either place in awhile, it will be quite surprising.  I’m also writing about transit-oriented development that spans across two centuries, featuring one NYC neighborhood, and one suburban New Jersey community.

Yes, I’m expanding my sights and my site!

Whenever I am not posting here, I am usually on twitter as @urbanbydesign. Recently, @urbanbydesign was named to the list of 100 Informative Twitter Feeds for Architecture Students by the Construction Management Degree website!

Until next time! D
