Wall Street Journal covered 10 Living Cities forum

This link was just sent my way by Charlie Campbell, who does his best to promote all good things he can find about downtown Dayton, in his regular email blasts…. Turns out the Wall Street Journal did a story about the “10 Living Cities” forum held last weekend at the Convention Center….

Some interesting insights, and nice to see an out-of-town reporter give us a reasonably fair shake, for a change… As this story points out, so much depends on image, attitude and perception.

So, what can we do to affect those things in our town?

Did you go to the forum?

What do you think of all this? And to the usual haters: Spare us. Let’s try to keep it constructive, hey?

RIP: The original Guitar God

Well, friends, the great inventor and musician Les Paul has died. Here’s the obit from the Times.

He was 94! Shreddin’ must keep you young after all…

Can you imagine what music would be like today without him?
