Planning Boston's Future

For a city to thrive and grow it needs an economic development and planning strategy that is focused on the future, that seeks out innovative ideas – and acts on them. And as the old proverb goes: “Without a vision, the people perish.”

The planning process in Boston is not working – and it is not working because there is no long-term vision coming from City Hall.

Internal squabbling, a lack of new ideas and stale leadership are choking the city’s development.

Let’s look at just some of what is happening in Boston:

Boston Harbor Islands...

Sadly, I've never been to the Boston Harbor Islands in the 20 something years I've lived on the North Shore.

This summer, our Shakespeare teen group did Romeo and Juliet all around the north shore. I'm already planning on next summer... and the Harbor Islands as a destination to bring the show to seemed intriguing.

I believe we're doing Hamlet in August, and Twelfth Night in July. The island destination for Twelfth Night would be pretty awesome...

But I don't know anything ABOUT the islands.

If you've been there, like it, hate it, think it'd be awesome to have an outdoor Shakespeare show there ... send me your feedback. It may spur me on or steer me clear. But I would love to know what your impressions of the islands are.

Organize it

Sometimes I think that between iCal, 30 Boxes, Palm Pilots and etc....
that all of the modern convieniences that are supposed to help me
organize my life end up overhwelming me, as I spend too much time
making sure that they're all synched.....
