A moral logic was eventually built in to the structure of civic advocacy
In a previous post, I’ve referred to the argument that the introduction of a moral logic has turned out to be an effective way to sell public and private goods. This is a dimension of civic advocacy that I did not pay much attention to, when I first read the concluding chapter of Endless propaganda (Rutherford, […]
How do you make a Jane’s Walk into a conversation?
During planning for the May 6, 2012 South Long Branch Jane’s Walk, local resident David Switzer pointed out for us a distinction between a Jane’s Walk and a Heritage Walk. We’ve also heard that every Jane’s Walk will be different, depending on who’s involved with it. Thus it may happen that occasionally a Jane’s Walk may be similar to a […]

Three judges were also at the table on the stage, helping out with proceedings. Such an event serves to highlight the work of independent businesses on the Lakeshore, as well as […]
South Long Branch Jane’s Walk went beautifully
We had a great Jane’s Walk in South Long Branch on Sunday, May 6, 2012 — about eighty people (conservative estimate) were there. The weather was great, and our portable amplifier from Long & McQuade worked beautifully. We owe many thanks to Councillor Mark Grimes’ office for suggesting that we organize Jane’s Walks in Long Branch this […]
You’re most welcome to attend the Lake Shore Reunion on June 9, 2012, even if you did not attend these schools
I’m very pleased to have this opportunity to share information about the Lake Shore Reunion on June 9, 2012. Phil Gray, who forwarded the information, reports that while looking for photos , he uncovered some interesting history about these schools. “All 3 schools grew over the years,” notes Phil Gray, “as new sections were added […]
