Thanks to David Martin and The Pitch for profiling me. The article focuses mainly on my efforts to get all of us to see the places we live as more than just part of a drive-through world. I'm delighted and flattered with how it turned out and the emphasis they gave to the new urbanism movement. I'm just one person in a big effort attempting to help places realize their community can be more than just where people live and work, but where they want to live and work .
