Preserving History and going Green in Chicago
The Rosenwald building also known as the Michigan Boulevard Garden Apartments is fading fast. The 421-unit, five-story walk-up was the longtime dream of philanthropist and Sears, Roebuck and Co. President Julius Rosenwald. The complex was built in 1929 as affordable housing for African American families in Chicago.

re: your comment about the Chicago Aids Foundation and using virtual worlds - you might like to check out http://www.karunasl.info/WorldAIDSDaySL/ - there is a significant World Aids Day Movement in Second Life already, and I'm sure lots of opportunities to collaborate! ;)

- Thanks Andrew,
We've been courting the Illinois Institute of Technology, incidentally located in the project community.

Andrew said… - We really built a great relationship with the public sector by including both Housing & Community Development and the Office of Planning & Development as members of the partnership that promoted and managed the comprehensive planning process. In addition, we ask the University of Memphis (also a partner) to bring its political clout to the table as a non-financial resource and that has worked well.
We had a strategic planning meeting last evening and one of the participants commented on how much more advanced politically we are today than 5 years ago. He said that when the UD speaks, the City listens. That is rarely the case in Memphis. Of course, politics is quite different in Chicago!

- Hey Danielle,
How are you? It seems like I haven't talked to you in ages. I would like to change my e-mail address to my home and I'm not sure how to do that. I can send pictures from home but not at work. I'm excited to learn more, but I'm at work and I gotta go to a meeting. Talk to you later.

I'm not totally sure how this all works yet (even though I'm fluent in Facebook) - but i think you left a comment for neil on my "wall". Just wanted to make sure you knew that.
I can't wait to read more about B.U.G - also, in looking at all this stuff, I think my sister and brother-in-law will really like it... :)
