New to the Blogosphere: "Our West End Neighborhood"
When you get a chance, check out the new blog in town, "Our West End Neighborhood." Although its focus is Allentown's West End Theatre District, blogger Damien Brown has a great post about Lehigh Valley Beyond Oil. This is a grassroots community group whose Herulean task is to persuade our regional planning commission to endorse light rail instead of widening every highway it sees. Lehigh Valley Beyond Oil has been getting advice from an unusual alternative energy advocate - Northampton County Executive John Stoffa. When he ran for exec, Stoffa warned we need to look for alternative energy sources. Most politicians forget promises once they're elected. But not so with Stoffa, who quietly met with a group that just might get something done.

Post a Comment
You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
