Comment on The Need for Newspapers by gberke

Hmmm, I don’t like the Freeman, but better to read them and support them at the same time one works toward their improvement. But the Kingston Times is where I’ll see some good writing: now that’s a local paper! And the Herald Record is showing up more strongly in the area. And the Herald Reporters have been alerting Facebook readers to news relevant to their groups… that helps a lot.
I’ll take them up on their special offer… $1 a week.

Comment on Clean-up Squad Concept Identifies Needs and Helps to Organize Kingston Youth. It’s Really That Simple. by thegenerousweb

This is wonderful… nothing says “friendly… come and visit” like a freshly cleaned streetscape. Actually, that’s second place behind seeing good people, good kids of the city taking care of the place, being out there… yeah, that’s #1.

Comment on Kingston Corridor by melissaeverett

The Corridor vision is great for Kingston, and Gerry you have brought together a community of thinkers and doers to discuss its dimensions. You and I have emailed that any urban corridor today has a green dimension – doesn’t have to be flashy or supersede the cultural/ neighborhood/ technological… But that vision can play with opportunities for energy improvements (bulk insulation and CFL purchases?), infrastructure like rain gardens that helps to manage flooding while looking beautiful, more solar like they did on the hospital, more urban design conferences and charrettes like the Kings Inn folks and SHV have done at Seven21.

I am working with a small committee called Green Innovations, as part of the city’s Climate Smart / Green Jobs Task Force. Comments on this vision, and creative energy to help it happen, are most welcome.

Well said, Gerry!

I usually pass up these opportunities to comment, but I can’t agree more that this is an occasion worth celebrating!

And another chance to thank Rebecca for Kingston Citizens and Paul Joffe for being one of our more innovative citizens and for the LBGTQ for what they do.

I like the way Kingston Citizens speaks for Kingston and shows us to be good and heading for even better…
Thanks, too, to the LBGTQ community, greatly valued and appreciated neighbors.
