“Readings in Urban Planning and Design” by Pete Pointner FAICP, ALA, ITE
Hi Craig,
This is one of 5 marketing blurbs meant for friends and family. Thank you again!
The purpose of this email is to announce the new fifth edition of my free e-book, “Readings in Urban Planning and Design”. It is now a compendium of 60 papers with over 250 illustrations. Attached is a copy of the table of contents which identifies the new additions. My sincerest thanks to planner Craig Hullinger who helped me create and update the post.
This free e-book is available at readingsinurbanplanninganddesign.blogspot.com. It is a practical resource on environmentally based planning and context sensitive urban design for lay persons, students and younger professionals involved in planning, design and development decisions.
While many of these topics may not be of any practical value for you, you might know a young person interested in architecture, engineering, landscape architecture, public administration or urban planning and design who would find them of value. You may also know someone involved with a planning commission, zoning board or municipal council who would find these papers of interest and value. If so, please share. More information is available on my updated web site at www.petepointner.com.
I am available for pro-bono presentations on many planning and design topics for educational, professional and civic groups. See www.petepointner.com for additional information on the workshops and presentations.
With best regards,
Pete Pointner FAICP, ALA, ITE

I have been driving past this nice landscaped Sculpture Park for years. It is located on Tamiami Trail (Route 41) north of downtown Sarasota. It looked very nice and interesting from the street.

Ketchup on Hotdogs?
Ketchup on Hotdogs? YES!
There are many Chicagoans who contend that you should never put ketchup on a hotdog. They have no idea why but they think that it is somehow the right thing to do. The fix was in.
The Hotdog Police can't tell me what to do. And ketchup and pickle relish was defined as a vegetable by the Federal Government many years ago.
No Ketchup on Chicago Hotdogs a Cruel New Yawk Hoax
Chicagoan's have been victimized by a cruel hoax. A New Yawker many many years ago started the "No Ketchup on Chicago Dawgs" as a joke to see how many Chicagoan's he could con into believing it. Sadly many Chicagoan's have been fished.
I learned some of the details of this diabolical plot in 1970 on Hill 327 near Danang, Vietnam. Out of boredom Marines and Soldiers would take their tactical radios and turn to the top or bottom channel, then engage whoever had done the same thing into clever (and not so clever) repartee'. Various racial insults, drug deals, proposed mini intramural wars, and general insults would follow.
One evening a fight developed between a soutsideaChicaga guy and a fellow from New Yawk. Both had the accents made famous by their respective communities - they were colorful and entertaining but were not speaking the King's English. They traded insults about which city was superior - who had the baddest mafioso, the highest murder rate, who were the toughest, who had the best looking women, the best pizza, etc etc.
Eventually the discussion moved to hotdogs. The Chicaga guy opined about the great dogs in Chicaga, while the New York guy expounded on their great dogs. Each claimed superiority.
Then the New Yawker asked about Ketchup. The Chicaga guy proudly explained that no self respecting Chicagan would use ketchup on a hotdog.
The New Yawker laughed and then went into a long story where he stated that his grandfather had started the no ketchup for Chicago hotdogs as a rumor to fish gullible Chicagoans into believing. According to him this was well known in his family and that they enjoyed knowing that gramps had successfully conned Chicago. In Marine

I have no idea if he was telling the truth but it sounded convincing. You can look it up.
Of course you might think I am fishing you. But that is my story and I am sticking to it.
