@domesticetch @BillBartholomew @tappednuncapped @EnriqueForRI Doesn't the mall parking garage serve this purpose? I always park there - up to 5 hours for $2!

[Jillian Finkle @JillianFinkle]

@StephMachado @DanMcGowan Actually, what if the mall could be a regional center for play (toys, games, recreation/entertainment, innovation, invention) with Hasbro as the anchor and a unique identity for the creative capital of the fun-sized state!

@_holyspokes @phileil Definitely saw that artist at one of our RI holiday art shows last year, maybe they'll be back again?

Love this! What do you think for PVD, @NoraBarre1?

A new three-month initiative is encouraging Chicagoans to ditch their at-home offices this summer and head Downtown to work — or cowork. https://t.co/f1mbKL0jFb

@jamesrambin @housebostonorg Do you know of any strategies to counter these strong negative emotional responses to bikes and bike infrastructure? Do you know of anyone researching this?

[Jillian Finkle @JillianFinkle]

@Boenau In all seriousness, I think this does bring up a very real point about how impossibly difficult modern parenting is and how that impacts opinions about the built environment. Growing expectations + shrinking "villages" = preferring speed/convenience to try to do it all alone.

@waham @RIlegoartist As a frequent visitor to both Farm Fresh and Water fire Arts Center, I see a lot of opportunities for connecting events and businesses on either side!

[Jillian Finkle @JillianFinkle]

I have thought about this very idea but didn't know it had a name! How about this for our commercial corridors in RI? What do you think, @seth_zeren @rhodyneighbors?

Second Street Housing: Living next to, but not on top of main street.
While most US/Canadian apartments are built on busy streets (Corridor zoning), we ought to look at next street over. https://t.co/pbUEKdQNfZ 1/

@_holyspokes @HousingNetwrkRI @homesRI_ @projo Well said! And think of the economic impacts of this investment, when more people have more of their income leftover to spend in the local economy or even start their own new business. A vibrant place means more state revenue to invest in schools, parks, etc!

“Our thesis is that a primary cause of the rise in mental disorders is a decline over decades in opportunities for children & teens to play, roam, & engage in other activities independent of direct oversight & control by adults.”

Connected to city design.

Today's appreciation for beautiful PVD!

Friends, if you ever want me to stop talking about this all the time, come help us create a Main Street network in RI!

[Main Street RI @MainStreetRI]

@KRISH_EH @TedNesi Yes you do, it's great! @BluffingBoutiq1

Scientific American says KIDS MUST PLAY.

But "Only 10 % of U.S. schools let people into their playgrounds when school's out, the Trust for Public Land found." Open 'em up & 5.2 million more kids get access.

Also: Renormalize unsupervised play!

@sciam @LetGrowOrg @tpl_org

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

Good Read: “Let the kids play in the dirt, climb on the rocks & even add some wood logs to the mix so they can get even more creative.”

How to design the perfect (and actually more “risky”) city playground. Remember, risk & hazards aren’t the same thing. https://t.co/1PoUUP6ti0
