Renewable energy: what do you think?

Hello, friends! How is summer going for you? Too fast? Same here. Less time on the internet (other than work), and more time outside is my motto for this season. For those times when you want something to read, I’ve been gathering good links. Here are some that I’ve found lately: 

• A new podcast, Brave State Vermont, talks about Vermont’s marble and concrete sculptures at interstate rest areas.

• This election brings up a lot of arguments and tension in society. One thing cannot be denied: white, male privilege is a real thing. 

• President Obama is the best, and this is why. 

• Apartment Therapy, I love you, but your teardown disappoints me. 

• Farmers Markets: how they work. 

• The elephant hotel in Coney Island. 

• We talk so much about the health of cities; but, what about rural America? 

• In Brownington, VT, 40 oxen were employed to move a schoolhouse, in 2016. 

• Dollar General: how did it overtake Vermont so quickly? Moral of the story: zoning and regulations, people. 

• Happy 60th Birthday, Interstate Highwat System. You have mixed critics. 

What have you been reading lately? Any good preservation adventures? Hope you have a fabulous, fun weekend!
