@Vaughters Masterful performance!

@mlbbowman Enjoyed your 'Top 10 Moments' of Braves history. For No. 11, I would propose Braves v Dodgers, 8/13/83, when Bob Watson's walk-off homer gave Atlanta a 6.5-game lead in the NL West. It was the zenith of their season, as the Dodgers ended up winning the division.

This concept is yet to take hold in the US, but holds great potential for mitigating biodiversity loss and improving urban spaces. https://t.co/QlkAR4D7xT

When she swam on the men’s team, Lia Thomas never made it to the NCAA Championship. Now, she is seeded number one in the league and is poised to give Katie Ledecky a run for her money next month. https://t.co/5M61ek279A

Coolest thing I did last week - attend a meeting at the Raleigh City Farm with a group of urban agriculture activists. It was an inspiring place, and quite well-situated for the use.
Now tell me truly, friends: would you really want an 'Urban Farm' in your neighborhood?

@antmccrossan Enjoyed your TdF commentary in NC USA! Be safe, @antmccrossan

@Dave27713 No way, Dave! That would involve relying on "science" (specifically, coastal geomorphology and analysis of sea level rise) and you know how "controversial" that would be!

@JonahDispatch Imagine how many small farmers would thrive and how many grocery workers would earn a liveable wage and how many under-nourished and food-deprived communities would gain access to whole foods. Oh! Plus.they organize around building a sustainable economy based on justice.

Scribbled ahead of yet another 'virtual meeting'. Sound familiar?
GLITCHES
It's time to start - I click and wait.
I see your face - you look fuzzy today.
I hear your voice, full of echo, crackle and hum.
All clear now - we are connected.
I feel your warmth.
It's just electricity.

Here's a rather rosy assessment, from a real estate development perspective, of the current market situation n Raleigh.

[Aaron Frank @AaronFrankPlan]

"Population is moving into the Raleigh-Durham area, the traffic has gotten worse and urban living is becoming much more fashionable" From the DC area myself, market interest in the Carolinas is no surprise.
Great share @OakCityCRE
