Outmoded and often discriminatory zoning laws block clean energy development in low-income urban neighborhoods. An effort is underway to update rules, and enable clean energy equity.
An energy transformation is underway in the United States, with clean energy and energy efficiency reducing our dependency on fossil fuels. Yet the advantages of clean energy aren't enjoyed equally throughout the country. Clean energy development has lagged in older, densely built urban areas. Low-income neighborhoods, in particular, have seen relatively less investment in renewables, and can find it hard to take advantage of technologies like rooftop solar that can lower electricity bills. And, while there are many efforts underway to address these equity challenges, for example through community energy programs, fundamental barriers to energy transformation remain.
Sara Bronin, professor of law at the University of Connecticut and former chair of Hartford, Connecticut's Planning and Zoning Commission, explores the impact that one such hurdle, outmoded and often discriminatory community zoning rules, can have on access to clean energy. Progressive rules can ease the adoption of clean infrastructure, yet many zoning regulations date back decades and fail to take modern energy into account. Bronin discusses the interplay of zoning and energy, and efforts to reform zoning regulations for greater clean energy access.
Andy Stone: Welcome to the Energy Policy Now podcast from the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy at the University of Pennsylvania. I'm Andy Stone. An energy transformation is underway in the United States, with clean energy and energy efficiency reducing our dependency on fossil fuels, yet the advantages of clean energy aren't being enjoyed equally throughout the country. Clean energy development has lagged in older, densely-built urban areas. Low-income neighborhoods, in particular, have seen relatively less investment in renewables and can find it harder to take advantage of technologies like rooftop solar that can lower electricity bills.
There are many efforts underway to address these equity challenges, for example, through community energy programs. Yet fundamental hurdles to energy transformation remain. One of the most deeply embedded, yet least understood of these hurdles, is zoning, or the rules to determine the types of development that can take place in a given neighborhood. Zoning regulations often date back decades and can prevent the siting of clean energy infrastructure and lock communities into old energy paradigms. Conversely, progressive zoning rules can promote clean development.
On today's podcast, I'll be talking with Sara Bronin, a law professor at the University of Connecticut who was, until recently, Chair of the City of Hartford, Connecticut's Planning and Zoning Commission. In her role, she led efforts to rezone parts of the city for greater social and energy equity. She'll talk about the interplay of zoning and energy and about efforts to reform zoning regulations. Sara, welcome to the podcast.
Sara Bronin: Thanks so much for having me.
Stone: Now, zoning isn't the subject that comes immediately to mind when thinking about the challenge of transitioning to a cleaner energy system, but it can be a barrier to the development of clean infrastructure. Broadly, what is the connection between energy transition and zoning?
Bronin: Zoning affects our ability to create transportation-efficient cities and create energy-efficient cities. It can enable both of those things, but for the most part, as you say, it doesn't. For example, zoning in a lot of places does not allow renewable energy to be installed or, particularly in older cities, to be retrofitted onto existing buildings. Overlain on top of that might be historic regulations that add to the zoning regime. In addition, zoning laws often lock into place transportation inefficient development. So for example, zoning laws often require a minimum of parking spaces for particular kinds of uses. They might require too much pavement and not enough green space, and greenery cools the city. They might totally ignore walking and biking infrastructure, and thus encourage more cars to be used. And so in a lot of different ways, zoning has a link between whether we are using more transportation and particularly using more cars and therefore emitting more greenhouse gases and using more energy, as well as even the energy implements themselves.
Stone: Now you were, until recently, Chair of the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Hartford, where zoning reform has recently taken place. What challenges did the city face specifically, and to what extent have reforms improved access to clean energy?
Bronin: So Hartford is one of those post-industrial cities. It's about 125,000 people. It's a lot like many other cities around the country. In fact, it was just identified a couple of years ago as one of the most demographically reflective of the entire country, along with New Haven. So Hartford is a story of historic neighborhoods, historic fabric, and in addition, some new development that's mostly in-fill within our city. The challenge here has really been trying to figure out how we take advantage of new technologies and new trends in thinking about city development and in energy in particular, and to try to make sure that we are not, through our laws, actually thwarting progress in those regards.
So for example, in our zoning reforms, we adopted a whole new zoning code in 2016. We did a complete overhaul of the zoning code. Among other things, what we did was we enabled wall-mounted wind energy and roof-mounted solar in every zoning district, which is, as far as I know, the first city to really do that on such a wide scale. It's all as-of-right. That means it's permitted without any special conditions. And there are other kinds of solar and wind allowed, as well. In addition to all of that, just across all of the districts, there are other districts that allow for free-standing solar installations, even large-scale wind facilities along one of our interstate corridors.
We are trying to think ahead in terms of renewable energy. We're also thinking in terms of energy efficiency. The biggest thing in a city like Hartford, the biggest barrier, I think, to energy efficiency is the fact that we have such a large amount of pavement, and so much of our land is already developed. Again, we were developed at a time when development was more concentrated, which is actually a good thing, as I hope I'll get a chance to talk about in a little bit. But it also means that there's just an awful lot of pavement.
What we noticed in the research is that trees have a cooling effect on cities, so we have a huge urban heat island effect in some of our neighborhood, and through the zoning code, what we are trying to do is have tree canopy coverage requirements and also just generally de-emphasize the need to pave and to prevent people from over-paving their lots. And in doing so, we hope to actually cool the whole city and enable greater energy efficiencies within individual housing and commercial environments.
Stone: A couple of moments ago, you mentioned new rules that would allow solar and wind installations on properties in the city. Did the old rules explicitly prohibit that type of development, or wasn't there enough of a path for them to be developed?
Bronin: That's a great question. The truth is that most zoning codes don't even mention renewable energy infrastructure at all. So when an applicant does come to a zoning commission and seeks to, let's say, install a solar collector, they'll have to look at the zoning rules for things like air conditioners and other equipment. Or, if the property owner wants the solar installation to be free-standing, the zoning commission may have to look at general rules for accessory structures. Trying to fit those rules to the different kind of animal that is a renewable energy installation has often proven problematic. While many zoning codes don't expressly reject renewable energy infrastructure, they don't specifically embrace it, either. And what that does is it causes enough confusion that people are deterred from applying for these kinds of things, or you see stories in the paper where somebody has spent six months, a year — sometimes more — and tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, just trying to get a single installation underway.
Stone: How much interest have you seen in clean energy, in the densely populated areas of the city we're talking about, low-income neighborhoods in particular? Has there been much interest, for example, in community-scale renewable energy?
Bronin: Yes, Hartford, for those of you who don't know, is a very low-income city. It's often named as one of the poorest cities in the country. So it's an appropriate question to ask. What do people in Hartford think about clean energy? And I have to say that there is a tremendous interest in clean energy and in energy efficiency in our community and among our families. The question, though, is access. You've raised this issue of community energy, and I think that is one way for people in cities like ours, rather densely-built on smaller lots, with buildings that may or may not be suitable for a full-scale solar installation, we're seeing that community energy could be an important avenue to taking advantage of that interest and bringing clean energy to people who actually really want it.
Community energy, for those listening in who may not know, is a way of sharing energy, basically installing, let's say, a neighborhood series of solar panels — or maybe even a neighborhood fuel seller or micro-grid — and enabling people to buy energy from that communal source and to share in the benefits of having distributed generation nearby. It's most appropriate, it's best used when people live in places that physically don't enable them to each have their own clean energy installation. And Hartford, with its small lots and smaller building size — row houses and that kind of thing — is actually a perfect candidate for community energy.
Unfortunately, our state does not allow for community energy to be adopted on a wide scale. There has been a small pilot program for shared solar, but that has really been very, very limited, and we haven't even seen projects actually emerge from that program yet. So we're hoping to engage residents more in advocacy at the State House for exactly that kind of reform.
Stone: Now to put this into the current context, obviously in the past, we've really seen a scaling up or an intensification of the national dialogue on equity, and that has spilled over into the conversation on energy and environmental equity, as well. Let's talk about the economic impact, then. What is the economic impact, or what economic impact does the lack of access to clean energy have on minority and low-income communities?
Bronin: The term that we like to use in thinking about this issue is "utility security" or "utility insecurity." That really relates to the amount of money that a family or a household is spending on their energy costs. Believe it or not, many of our families spend an enormous percentage of their income on energy costs. Connecticut has some of the highest rates in the country for energy usage, and it really has become an unsustainable burden on our families. Access to clean energy would enable them to have more control over their own costs, and it would also reduce the amount that they're spending on energy each month. Electricity costs are just an enormous burden. So there really is a really important link between access to clean energy, access to energy efficiency improvements, and equity. And just on the latter, the energy efficiency improvements — many states, Connecticut is one of them — have energy efficiency programs where homeowners can ask the state, or ask utilities to come in and do a subsidized energy efficiency audit. In a place like Hartford, which has majority renters, there's a barrier to weatherizing and making more energy efficient their individual housing units. While renters could potentially ask through the existing programs, they don't, because it's really the homeowners who have to approve these kinds of retrofits.
So in addition to looking at zoning laws and also just looking at the general questions of who is providing access and how do people get access to clean energy, these individual funding programs and their decisions need to be better targeted to renters and others who simply don't have access through the more traditional routes.
Stone: There's also a history of discriminatory zoning that is relevant to everything that we're talking about today to access to clean energy that you've done quite a lot of work on. What are these discriminatory practices, and how do they also impact energy development?
Bronin: I think to answer this question, we probably have to look back to the dawn of zoning, which was about a hundred years ago, when the US Department of Commerce issued a series of regulations to states, calling it the "State Zoning Enabling Act." And it was states that then allowed local governments to enact zoning codes. Through these zoning codes, many local governments engaged in what can only be described today as discriminatory practices. Sometimes they were explicitly discriminatory. So you had zoning codes like Louisville's in Kentucky, which was struck down in 1917 by the Supreme Court for explicitly zoning on the basis of race. But after that, even though the communities couldn't zone on the basis of race or class, they nonetheless did so. And one of the big links between the kind of zoning that has discriminatory effects but may not look discriminatory on its face is the minimum lot size requirement.
Zoning codes control everything that gets built. They can control lots, structures, and uses. But when it comes to controlling lots, most zoning codes around the country say that if you're going to build a single-family house, it has to be on a certain minimum lot size. When you're building a community with minimum lot sizes of, let's say, half an acre or an acre — and sometimes more — you are building what is essentially sprawl, and you are building places that people can't get around on bike or on foot. So this is going back to this idea of transportation-inefficient communities. When you develop land in this kind of way, you're really preventing people who don't have access to cars, people who can't afford to purchase a large amount of land — so you're excluding them from those kinds of communities. So the link, to me, is really the sprawl — the issue of sprawl — the issue of minimum lot size, land use. Minimum parking requirements is another thing that we can talk about, if you'd like. But all of that makes for a transportation-inefficient world, and it also has discriminatory impacts, and those are well documented.
Stone: I also wanted to bring up the point here that you are involved in an organization, actually one that you established in Connecticut, called "Desegregate Connecticut," which is actually working on some of these issues, the discriminatory zoning practices that exist in the state. Tell me a little bit more about what's going on with that group.
Bronin: Desegregate Connecticut is online at DesegregateCT.org, and we had developed over the summer of 2020, assembling a group of like-minded people who really believe that land use laws in our state — and actually across the country; but we'll focus on Connecticut first — but land use laws in our state have a discriminatory impact. What we're really narrowly focused on is housing and housing opportunity, access to resources and the fact that too many people in Connecticut simply don't have a choice as to where they'll live. So the things that we're thinking about are housing diversity — trying to create a diverse housing stock. Right now, it's predominantly single-family homes on large lots, just like I was describing, making transportation-inefficient communities. Housing supply, to try to make sure that we are generating more housing than we are. Much of the housing we would be generating is actually constrained by red tape, and that primarily comes from zoning. And then finally, just improving the process for development, and that's probably something that zoning could use across the board.
Stone: So in Hartford you changed the zoning rules, and through Desegregate Connecticut, you're also working on a broader, statewide effort to update zoning rules, as well. Per your experience, how have stakeholders, from residents to politicians, responded to these calls for zoning reform?
Bronin: I'll start with Hartford first. We started our zoning reform effort in 2014 in earnest and really just started consulting very widely within the city, across a range of stakeholders: business owners, residents, neighborhood associations, environmental groups. And we all came to a consensus that what we needed in Hartford were forward-looking land use rules that enabled development, but enabled it in a directed way. And the consensus that we built around that enabled us to adopt some of the biggest reforms at the local level of almost any city in the country. We became the first city to completely abandon minimum parking requirements, which to me is one of the scourges of zoning codes nationally. We also instituted a wide variety of environmentally friendly provisions, from electric vehicle charging station requirements to tree canopy coverage to stormwater infrastructure fees, and so on.
To other people, it seems like a big stretch that we were able to adopt those here, but from what we understood from people living here, there was a big interest in having a forward-looking environmental zoning code. And we adopted it unanimously in one night. There was almost unanimous, enthusiastic support at that public hearing, and we got a huge amount of, again, community and neighborhood support. That has been our local experience. Now, on the statewide reforms and the Desegregate Connecticut reforms, we're tackling something that I think some people have a knee jerk reaction to. The knee jerk reaction can be characterized by this phrase: "Not in my backyard." Probably most of your listeners have heard of this. We're trying to change "Not in my backyard," to — I don't know if you want to call it "Yes, in my backyard," or "Open communities," or however you want to put it. We want to change people's minds to say, "This knee jerk reaction against greater housing diversity, against moving away from the exclusively single-family zoning model is actually good for not only the existing owners of single-family housing, but also for us as a state as a whole.
So I would say at the local level, it was a different reaction because we had such an engaged process and because people really kind of coalesced around a particular set of ideals — and those were embodied in our code — versus the state level, where I think people need more of that engagement and need more of a reason to move in the right direction. And I have a lot of confidence that eventually people will, and they'll see that to have a level playing field across the state will actually help Connecticut grow economically and will also protect the environment, while also advancing equity. I think we can do all of that.
Stone: Let's continue with this idea of the path forward. What needs to be done? What specific reforms would you like to see in Connecticut, and what reforms have you been pushing for through Desegregate Connecticut?
Bronin: I mentioned the three priorities for Desegregate Connecticut. Those are housing diversity, housing supply, and process improvement. And we're identified a suite of initial ideas as to how we might achieve that, and we'll be refining those through the fall, in the hopes of advancing those in the regular session once the legislature returns in January, 2021. But among those generally, proposals include several proposals to use more efficiently buildings that already exist and transportation infrastructure that already exists.
For example, what we think the state should do is to enable accessory apartment units, which are small, independent living units where one or two people, or maybe small families, might live. We think that if the state says, across the board, "Accessory dwelling units are allowed on any single-family property," we will see a great increase in the number of these small-scale dwelling units which are first more affordable to people who want to live in high-resource communities, than at, say, a detached, single-family home, and second, using the building stock that we already have — using the embodied energy of those buildings. Similarly, what we have suggested is that around transit nodes, development be enabled and unlocked. So we're suggesting that within, let's say, a half-mile radius of train stations and maybe a quarter-mile radius of your small town Main Street or your commercial quarters, we as a state say that two-to-four unit dwellings are allowed, or mixed-use housing is allowed, where it might be housing on top of retail stores.
We also think that in general, reducing excessive parking requirements is something that we have to look into as a state. Parking requirements vary widely across jurisdictions in Connecticut. Some cities even require two or more parking spaces for a single efficiency unit. Sometimes that means that the amount of parking that's required is larger than the efficiency unit that's actually being built. So what does that do to the cost of the unit? It drives up the cost, making it unaffordable and probably making it unattractive for a developer to build. So instead of encouraging people to build smaller units, to build multi-family housing, we're discouraging it through parking requirements. And not only that, parking requirements, research has shown, actually encourage more driving. Of course, the more parking you provide, the easier it is for somebody to own a car and say, "Oh, I'll just drive here, instead of walk," even though it's a very short distance away. So parking requirements subsidize driving, and again, that's pretty detrimental to the environment.
We're also suggesting some other things, like training land use commissioners, standardizing permits so that apartment buildings don't go through what are sometimes very contentious, and in some cases, racist public hearings. Capping fees, so some towns charge developers of affordable housing absolutely insane fees just to go through the application process. That's something that the state can remedy. And just modernizing traffic and sewer standards. These are some of the things that we have put out there. We're going to be refining those through the fall, but all of them really speak to changing this mindset of developing primarily detached single-family housing, and again — also the mindset of just building sprawl. We're using up so much of our farmland in the state and so much of our wooded areas. That's something other UConn researchers have documented. Even over the last ten years, it has been extreme. And we need to stop doing that in order to save our state.
Stone: When you talk about the requirements for parking for new developments, for example, obviously it would seem in the inner city there are opportunities for public transportation, both to serve people who need it and also reduce the need for cars and energy consumption through those means. Once you get out of the city centers, though, do these requirements (1) still apply, and (2) are there really alternatives for people who may not want to use cars or cars as much to take advantage of public transport to be able to get around?
Bronin: Well, of course not every community in a state like Connecticut is served by transit, but you would be surprised at how many of our communities actually do have rail stations. In addition, we have a bus rapid transit system that was developed under the last governor with fixed transit stations. And I think that's really the key. When the state has invested significant sums in a fixed station, a bricks-and-mortar — it doesn't move. It's not like a bus stop, where you can move the sign, and you can move the bus stop. A fixed transit station is a significant investment, so you're right that not every community has that opportunity. But I think what we found, especially with the recent construction of this bus rapid transit line, as well as the opening of the Hartford line, which is a rail line between New Haven and Springfield, is that if you build this kind of infrastructure, people will use it. People are no longer happy just sitting in their cars. And I think you'll see in the coming years, if we embrace that trend, you'll see some of the suburbs that may not have even thought to have one of these types of transit stations start to ask for them, because it will make the lives of the people who live there a lot easier. Because who wants to be stuck in traffic?
Stone: One other thing I wanted to bring up — I know that you have quite a bit of interest and have done a lot of work on historic preservation. I think it was in one of the papers that you'd written that I read prior to this podcast — I believe that's where it was — that it mentions that it's either Connecticut or Hartford that has one of the highest concentrations of buildings that are designated as historic buildings anywhere in the country. And there are particular challenges to clean energy development in and around these buildings because aesthetically, anything that might compromise the integrity of the original architecture can be a problem. Can you tell us a little bit about that facet — historic preservation — again, in the Northeast, where there are so many older buildings already there?
Bronin: Yes. Actually, Connecticut is one of those states that has addressed this very question at the state level. So going back to our conversation about what level of government is best suited to enact wide-scale reform? And in the case of solar energy and historic properties, Connecticut is one of the couple of states that says that a historic commission cannot deny a solar panel or solar energy system from being installed, unless that solar energy system will substantially impair the historic character and appearance of the district. What that means is that it's a very high bar for a commission to deny solar energy. I think for that reason, Connecticut is actually ahead of almost every other state in saying at the state level local commissions cannot prevent these things from being installed. So we've actually seen a huge amount of solar being installed in Connecticut because our local commissions can't really deny it. That's different from some of the high-profile denials that you see in D.C. and other places.
Stone: Sara, thanks very much for talking.

The Final Buzzer – Western Conference Round 1 Playoff Preview (17/4/11) | Who's Playing Who?
After 82 regular season games, it finally comes down to this. The playoffs start on Saturday (USA time) and it took until the very last day of regular season games for the order of the West to be decided. Every team is 16 wins away from NBA immortality. Only one will get there. Let's have a look on how the Western Conference bracket shapes up.
Two big storylines heading into this series. The first is the elbow injury to Manu Ginobili. He's doubtful for game one. This is a huge concern to the Spurs because he's such a talented player. Pop sat him out of the Lakers game but brought him back for their last regular season game against the Suns. Why did he bring them back at all? Now only did they lose against the Suns, they also dropped the overall record to the Bulls. Tim Duncan has been played pretty sporadically over April, but you should expect him to play more minutes now that its playoff time. The Spurs are aiming for their 5 NBA title in the Duncan era and they find themselves with one of the toughest roads back to the NBA finals. Memphis is not your typical 8th seed. The Griz appeared to…no forget that, they obviously tanked their last couple of games to get to the 8th seed to avoid playing the Lakers. The Spurs shouldn't expect an easy first round. Memphis is physical and Z-Bo is a beast down low. The Griz front court could provide the Spurs some trouble if they're not careful.
Now the second big storyline heading into this game is why the Grizzles tanked all the way to the 8th seed when they could've made it to the 6th seed and faced the Mavericks. Although in saying that, they didn't know the Mavs were going to be the 3rd seed until the end of the regular season (fun fact time: the last day of the 2011 regular season featured all 30 teams playing on one day. This is the first time this has happened in NBA history). In fact, if the Griz secured the 6th seed instead of tanking, and the Lakers lost to the Kings (R.I.P), they would've faced the Lakers in round 1. Confusing I know, but the Grizzles chose the lesser of two evils. Now we get to see if this was a smart move. It'll be interesting to see how this young team will react to the difference between playoff and regular season basketball. They do have a couple of veterans with playoff experience though, so that should help. It's crazy to think that this series could come down to the play of Tony Allen. He's averaging 17 points per game shooting 70% against the Spurs. TONY FREAKIN' ALLEN! If Tony Allen can keep up those crazy numbers, play good defence and limit a limited Manu, then the Griz could look to steal a couple of games and make it an interesting series. Seriously…TONY FREAKIN' ALLEN?!
Of all the potential paths to the finals and the potential teams the Lakers could've faced, they somehow got the easiest path through the playoffs and the best possible round one opponent for them. Their path is potentially easier than the Spurs path, who would most likely have to go through the Grizzles, the Thunder and then the Lakers in the conference finals. The Lakers? Not as bad as that, although until they secured the 2nd seed, it could've been very different. If they had lost to the Kings in OT (Kobe dampening the Sacramento mood on final time), the Lakers would've ended up 3rd and faced the Blazers. The Blazers aren't your typical 6th seed, and they're playing with a lot of confidence since being handed Gerald Wallace. There was serious potential for an upset. No jokes. The Grizzles would've also been tough, and have the size up front to at least compete with Gasol, Bynum and Odom.
Yet somehow, through share luck, they end up facing the Hornets. Although this match is favourable, the Lakers do have their own problems to deal with. Andrew's Bynum's seems to be ok from his annual knee injury. Saying the Lakers were worried would be an understatement. They were crapping themselves and praying to Jesus. Jesus must've listened because Bynum is fine and is expected to play in game one. Steve Blake is dealing with chicken poxes. No seriously, this isn't a joke. 31 year old Steve Blake has the chicken pox and is out indefinitely. He's been told to stay away from the team as Andrew Bynum has never had them. Neither has Kobe. Ron Artest doesn't think he has. Of course Ron Artest wouldn't know (on a Ron Artest related note, I'm very excited for his playoff quotes and his kissing of his biceps. Definitely more enjoyable to watch than his terrible shot selection).
The Hornets will struggle to stay with the Lakers in this series. The loss of David West would've made this series much more competitive, but even then that's not the only problem that they have. Who's going to guard Kobe? Will it be former Laker Trevor Ariza? How will they slow the Laker big's? Will the Lakers regret letting DJ Mbenga leave via free agency? Chris Paul needs to play like its 2008. He needs to be more aggressive and look to find his shot more against the Lakers in order for the Hornets to have any sort of chance.
The Lakers should sweep this series. They have too many match-up advantages, too much size and too much talent. The only reason that they won't sweep is because of complacency since that 17-1 run after the All Star Break. The combination of the Lakers not caring and Chris Paul being too much of a talent will see the Hornets win a game. I mean after all, he will be guarded by Derek Fisher (AKA the human sieve).
It seems trendy to pick the Blazers to upset the Mavs in round one. Is that considered an upset then if everyone's picking it? In the Mavs defence, they get no love from anyone, except from Mark Cuban. The won 57 games this season and were one overtime away from facing the Hornets in the first round. Instead the Laker beat the Kings in OT and the Mavs now draw the Blazers in what should be the most entertaining round one Western Conference match-up. Dallas will have the best player in the series in the Big German. But, I can see why many people are picking the Blazers in the upset. Rodrigue Beaubois is out for game one because of a foot sprain, which means DeShawn Stevenson will start at SG. This gives Portland a fantastic chance to steal game one and home-court advantage from Dallas. Dallas will rely heavily on Dirk to deliver, but if they're really going to be successful, they're going to have to find scoring from somewhere other than Dirk and Jason Terry. Does Shawn Marion still have scoring left in that ugly shooting stroke of his? Can Jason Kidd knock down some open 3's? Is Peja still alive? Tyson Chandler has been fantastic for the Dallas defence since he arrived, but even he needs to be able to score.
Luckily for Dallas, Portland plays with one of the leagues slowest paces. I honestly don't have the raw numbers to back it up but it sounds about right. Well you don't see Andre Miller running up and down the court like Steve Nash does. If the Blazers lose, it wouldn't be a huge deal because it would be expected. After all, the Mavs are the 3rd seed. If the Blazers win, then people won't be surprised because most people picked the Blazers to come out on top. So people wouldn't be really disappointed if the Blazers lose, or surprised that the won. How does that even work?! I just feel that people have written of Dallas already. This Mavs team is pretty decent. Dirk will be All-NBA first team this year, Jason Kidd is moving very well for an 86 year old and Tyson Chandler has revitalised the Mavs defence. The Mavs zone could cause some problems for the Blazers on offence and force Gerald Wallace into shooting jumpers instead of attacking the rim. Is Aldridge good enough defensively to stop Dirk? Can anyone stop Dirk's fade-away? And how much does Brandon Roy have to give? If he can give the Blazers some reliable play off the bench, then the Blazers will be in much better shape, especially if this is a long series…which it should be.
Both of these teams have been playing fantastically since the Trade deadline for different reasons. The Thunder are playing well because they got Kendrick Perkins to be the front-court bully that they've needed. Did you also know that they got James Harden in that trade also? Oh you say he was already on the Thunder? Really? Because he's playing like a man with a new beard since Jeff Green was traded. Perkins brings championship experience and a defensive anchor to this Thunder defence which is very scary and menacing. But Perk has also benefited the Thunder on offence as well. Dirty or not, Perkins does set some fantastic screens (very underrated skill for a big man) which gives Durant more space to operate and more time to get his jumper off. No one's benefited more from Perkin's scowl on the Thunder more than Ibaka. He's now got the freedom to help out more on defence and can now go for the block without worrying about who's covering him on defence. They're a nasty front court combo. Durant and Westbrook are set to shine and we're going to see if their FIBA experience will benefit this team as the playoffs begin. They shouldn't look past the first round though. After all, the Thunder have never won a road game in the playoffs. If they don't win a playoff series this year, then there will be more pressure on them next year even if the expectations will be higher for them next year if they win a round this year…wow that's confusing! Basically I'm saying that people will put more pressure on Durant and Westbrook next year if they don't win a series this year (why didn't I just say that to start with?).
Now the Nuggets are playing well since the trade deadline because of who they gave away. They got rid of Carmelo Anthony and have been playing some fantastic basketball. Credit must be paid to coach George Karl for keeping his players focused with all the Melo drama going on. The Nuggets have seamlessly blended the talent that they got from the Knicks and now have one of the deepest teams in the league. Their only problem is they don't know who the best player on the team is. George Karl has been playing some crazy rotations often going with the hot hand to win games. Well what if there isn't a hot hand in one game? Do you really place all your trust in JR Smith? He can win you games as much as he can ruin them for you. I don't know how effective Nene will be against Perkins and Ibaka, and we've already seen the tensions rise in their last meeting before the playoffs, exchanging head butts. I don't think even George Karl knows what he's doing, so how can the Thunder prepare for them?
I think the Nuggets will struggle to win this series. The Thunder have the athletes and the speed to hang with the Nuggets, and no one on Denver has stepped up to defend Durant. Both arena's will be pumping, but I just don't see the Nuggets being able to win this series. All their advantages are countered by the Thunder. Nene and Kenyon Martin? Checked by Perk and Serge. Gallinari and Chandler? Good luck matching up against Durant. Felton and Ty Lawson? Russell Westbrook. Birdman's tattoos? Kendrick Perkin's scowl. JR Smith? Well that answer is also JR Smith. It really depends what day you face him because he can be terrific or terrifyingly bad.
And there you go! Finally done! Enjoy the first round and I'll be back to do a preview of the second round. So until then, that my friends, is The Final Buzzer.

For as long as individuals and organizations have had disagreements with one another, they have tried to find just and cost-effective ways to resolve those issues. Although many cases end up before the courts, other innovative techniques exist to deal with profound differences of opinion. Public administrators and members of the legal profession are more frequently turning to a range of dispute resolution methods, including mediation, as effective procedures for resolving conflicts.

Nxai Pan offers the expanse of the salt pans, but there are also grassy plains with large tree line forests and a few man made waterholes around the pan. Nxai pan is a hidden gem for Botswana – for the client looking to get away from the crowds it is perfect. The area is a little eden during the rainy season where springbok, Kalahari black mained lion, elephant and giraffe to name a few descend on the park.
Nxai Pan National Park Which borders and is the sister park to the Makgadikgadi Pans was also established in 1970. Originally only 1,700km2 this was extended to 2,570km2 in 1992.
This extension included the famed Baines Baobabs and took the boundary adjacent to the Makgadikgadi ensuring a safe/protected route for the zebra and wildebeest migrations.
It is one of the very few places where impala and springbok ranges overlap and the focal point of the park – a pumped water hole – is incredibly rewarding for those visitors who park nearby and watch the goings on. In the winter months this waterhole is literally the only water for hundreds of kilometres and it teems with animals.
Like the Central Kalahari, Nxai pan becomes a Garden of Eden in the summer rains with thousands of young animals and inspired scenery .
Within the park there are points of interest worthy of mention. One is the "old trek route", a trail pioneered in the 1950s and used until 1963, as a short cut through Ngamiland to Kazungula via Pandamatenga, along which cattle were driven before the advent of the modern veterinary control fences.
A number of boreholes, used to provide water for the cattle and men on their long trek, were capped when this trail had to be abandoned, but are said to be still capable of supplying copious water supplies if re-equipped. Another point of interest, which pre-dates that of the trek route, is known as "bushman pits".
Here, near the edge of a small pan area, small pits were dug by the Bushmen in which they could hide whilst hunting wild animals that came to drink, giving closer range for the use of their bows and arrows. Today there are the remains in the area of an old cattle post, connected with the trek route, but the bushman pits can still be seen.


The inventor of the Twist and Seal product line, Bryan Nooner, is continually redesigning the Twist and Seal product line, as well as, inventing new and innovative products to protect any and all electrical cord connections. Through the voice of our online reviews and other customer feedback, Bryan discovered that there was a need for a year-round electrical cord protection product, and also an industrial size cord protection product.

Both of these new products are available now for order and can be found at your local home improvement stores! Protect your electrical cord connections with Twist and Seal.


Who is Hugo Gernsback and why are the Hugo Science Fiction / Fantasy Awards named after him?
Hugo Gernsbacher, born August 16, 1884 in Luxembourg immigrated to the United States in 1904 to New York. Hugo was fascinated by electricity and invented a dry battery which he patented upon arriving in the United States. He established a radio and electrical supply house called Electro Importing Company and developed a small portable radio transmitter called the Telimco Wireless Telegraph. He went on to patent 80 inventions.
Gernsback published a magazine for electrical experimenters called Modern Electronics which was later taken over by Popular Science. To fill up some empty space in the magazine, he decided to write a futuristic story which ran in 12 installments.
Air Wonder and Science Wonder were merged into one magazine Wonder stories in 1930 and sold it in 1936 to Beacon Publications where it continued to be published for 20 more years.
I've never been a big sci/fi fan. As a reader of fantasy, however, I sometimes find that the two overlap. I'd never heard of Hugo Gernsback. This is interesting.
wow, thanks for the info!
Cool! I never knew any of this. My husband is a sci-fi fan and he'll probably enjoy this information.
I linked to Only a Novel, which, though it is a first novel and self-published, is comparable to much of the professional fiction that I review. I was surprised and thrilled, because I hadn't expected such quality. It's a great light read for bookish people. Enjoy!
So surprised how much I loved The Aeneid!


"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction. ... The chain reaction of evil -- hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars -- must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation."

Gardena appoints city clerk to replace Cerda
PUBLISHED: October 14, 2009 at 12:00 am | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 11:11 am
Gardena has avoided calling a special election for the second time in recent weeks, as a bare City Council majority agreed to appoint a new city clerk.
On Tuesday night, Maria Elena Marquez retook the seat that she held from 2005 until March, when Tasha Cerda was elected to the position.
Cerda vacated the clerk's post on Sept. 22 because she was appointed to the City Council to replace former Councilman Steve Bradford, who was elected to the state Assembly.
Marquez, appointed on a 3-2 vote, told the council on Tuesday that she did not run to retain her seat in March because she wanted to spend more time with her son.
"Ten months ago I made the difficult decision to not run for office so I could focus on my new duties as a mother," Marquez said. "Today, my son is fast approaching 2. He's sleeping through the night, and we're all on very reasonable schedules. I would be honored to again serve the city as city clerk."
Six candidates applied to become clerk, but the council only considered two of them because they voted in the order the applications were received.
Mark Henderson, a volunteer on the city's Rent Mediation Board, turned his paperwork in first, and received two votes of support but did not get a majority. Marquez was then considered, received a majority approval and was sworn in.
The clerk's position is part-time and comes with a $1,000 monthly salary. The clerk is the city's official keeper of records and is responsible for attending bimonthly council meetings, taking roll call, producing legislative documents and overseeing elections.
Mayor Paul Tanaka, who voted in favor of Marquez along with council members Ron Ikejiri and Rachel Johnson, congratulated her.
"Of the seven elected positions in the city, we now have four women," Tanaka said. "I think that's very historic in this city's existence and I commend you and congratulate each and every one of you for being a part of that."

LA School District Mandates COVID-19 Vaccine for Children 12 and Up
All students aged 12 and up in the Los Angeles Unified School District must be vaccinated against COVID-19.
The deadline for all students to be vaccinated is January 10, 2022.
Students who participate in in-person extracurricular activities must be vaccinated sooner.
All children who attend Los Angeles' public schools who are aged 12 and up must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by January to attend in-person schooling. The Los Angeles Unified School District, which serves students in Los Angeles and surrounding areas, approved the order on Thursday.
"The vaccine is safe, effective, and the best way to keep our students protected against the virus," Los Angeles Unified School District Board President Kelly Gonez said in a tweet about the announcement. "The vaccine is safe, effective, & the best way to keep our students protected against the virus. We will work to ensure families have reliable medical information in the coming weeks."
California's Culver City Unified School District is thought to be the first district in the country to require COVID-19 vaccines for eligible students when it announced its mandate several weeks ago. But Los Angeles Unified is the country's second-largest school system, and the first district of its size to require vaccination.
Los Angeles Unified district officials said in a press release that the vaccination requirement is an "additional step" to provide "another layer of safety in schools" alongside existing COVID-19 safety protocols.
How to Support Your Child's Return to in-Person Learning
Some of these other protocols in place include:
Daily health checks for everyone going onto school campuses
Comprehensive COVID-19 testing
Contact tracing and isolation of cases
Increased sanitization and cleaning of schools
Upgraded ventilation
How Does the Mandate Work?
The Los Angeles Unified schools district is requiring all students who are eligible to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to be fully vaccinated by January 10, 2022, unless they have a qualified exemption.
The district stated that the only qualified exemption is a medical exemption, but didn't explain further. The district also made it clear it will not accept religious or personal belief exemptions, stating, "state law does not recognize" those exemptions for student immunizations.
Biden's Assertive COVID-19 Vaccination Plan Will Affect Most Americans
Currently, only children aged 12 and up are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in the U.S. Students in the school system who are 12 and older and participate in in-person extracurricular activities must receive their first dose of the vaccine by no later than October 3 and their second dose by no later than October 31.
Those who are 12 and older, but do not participate in these activities, must receive their first dose no later than November 21 and their second dose by December 19.
The district also addressed students who are not yet 12, saying that they must receive their first vaccine dose no later than 30 days after their twelfth birthday and their second dose no later than eight weeks after their twelfth birthday. It's not clear what the deadline will be for students once the vaccine is approved for younger populations.
How Did Cuba Become the First Country to Vaccinate Young Children?
Once a student is vaccinated, they must upload their proof of vaccination to the district's online Daily Pass account, which allows parents and students to book PCR COVID-19 tests and answer health check screening questions.
This COVID-19 vaccine mandate impacts students in the Los Angeles Unified School District, but experts expect other districts across the country to create similar mandates in the coming months. However, experts urge COVID-19 vaccination for children aged 12 and up, whether the vaccine is required in your area or not.
Other School Districts Will Likely Follow Suit
Doctors are applauding the move.
"I strongly support it," Richard Watkins, MD, an infectious disease physician and professor of internal medicine at the Northeast Ohio Medical University, tells Get Meds Info. "It takes leadership and courage to make difficult, yet necessary decisions."
Infectious disease expert Amesh A. Adalja, MD, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, tells Get Meds Info that the district is "trying to use the best tool possible to keep COVID-19 from disrupting in-person schooling."
More Babies Are Getting COVID-19
Given the size of the Los Angeles Unified School District, Adalja says he anticipates it will spark similar mandates in school districts across the country.
"Since this is the second biggest school district in the country, it will likely prompt others to follow suit," he says.
Adalja urges parents to strongly consider vaccination against COVID-19 for their children, regardless of whether their school district has a mandate.
Why Are Kids Getting RSV and COVID at the Same Time?
"The COVID vaccines are safe and effective and the risk/benefit analysis favors vaccinating children," he says. "A simple vaccine makes COVID a non-issue for a child."
Watkins agrees. "The benefits far outweigh the risks," he says. "You don't want COVID-19 and you don't want your child to get it."

In recent years, the Jewish prayer for healing, the Mi Sheberach (literally, "the one who blessed"), has become a central element of North American liberal (non-Orthodox) religious and ritual life. The growing centrality of these prayers comes at a time when American Judaism has shifted away from congregational and communal life to a more personalized approach to Jewish beliefs, practices and identities; participation in both ritual and prayer practices is now based in personal choice and the desire for an individually-meaningful experience, as well as communal obligation or belief in God. This dissertation seeks to understand the meanings and impacts of these Jewish prayers for healing, by using ethnography as a tool for understanding the lived experience of religious practices, beliefs, and identities. Based in two years of ethnographic field-work in Southern Arizona, it places the relationship between Judaism and healing within the larger social, communal and historical contexts in which both of these concepts acquire meaning. I describe the complexities and contradictions inherent in modern liberal American Jewishness, demonstrating that these modern Jewish American selves are multiply-situated, multi-voiced, and characterized by diversity and dissonance. My research shows that, among liberal American Jews, the individual's search for meaning blends with the collectivist nature of Judaism, in an ongoing process of interpretive interaction between text, tradition, personal experience, and other members of the community. I find that Jewish representations of God are also complex and contradictory. Many people have difficulty articulating their thoughts about God, and their views are dynamic and inconsistent. Furthermore, Jewish belief develops in a multifaceted relationship to Jewish ritual and communal practice. Within this context, healing prayer becomes become one site, among many, through which relationships to Jewish traditions, practices and communities are negotiated and constructed. Healing prayer leads to a feeling of connection to community, ancestors and traditions; it transforms fear and anxiety into comfort, strength and acceptance; promotes spiritual transcendence; and provides a sense of agency and control at times of vulnerability and helplessness. Healing in a liberal Jewish context may involve the physical body, but it more often involves emotions, spirit, relationships to other people, and relationships to Judaism. Prayer may refer to a dialogue with the divine, but it is also a dialogue between the individual and the community, and between Jewish history and modernity. Finally, this dissertation contributes to discussions of religion and secularism, demonstrating that these analytical categories, which emerged out of European Protestantism, are neither sufficient, nor appropriate, for the study of modern Jewish life.

Press Release: 21.11.11 - Gordon Henderson
GORDON HENDERSON MP
FOR SITTINGBOURNE & SHEPPEY
MP hosts two Q&A sessions for 16-25 year olds
The cost of transport and the lack of facilities for young people were the main issues highlighted by 16-25 year olds at two Q&A sessions hosted by Gordon Henderson MP.
The two sessions, one of which took place at Sittingbourne Baptist Church and the second at the Sheppey Academy East Site, provided an opportunity for young people to have their say on issues which were most important to them as well as gain advice on further education and employment.
Mr Henderson was joined by a variety of guests including Mike Whiting, Cabinet Member for Education, Learning and Skills at Kent County Councillor, Duncan Atkinson from Morrisons Distribution Centre, Jo Dillion, Area Manager at Connexions and Ken Pugh, Kent County Councillor for Minster Cliffs.
The main issue for young people in Sittingbourne was the cost of train fares to get to school or work as over 16 years olds do not qualify for a Freedom Pass for bus travel from Kent County Council. This was particularly difficult for those on apprenticeships who are not earning enough to cover their travel expenses.
However, young people at the Sheppey Academy were concerned about the lack of activities to do on the Island. Whilst they have access to youth centres, they felt a cinema, for example, would be more suitable for their age.
It was also highlighted that young people need more information on the role of Swale Borough Councillors, Kent County Councillors and their Member of Parliament and advice on how they should decide which political party they should vote for at elections.
Mr Henderson said,
"The Q&A sessions provided an opportunity for me to engage with the young people and listen to their views, which I found very interesting and informative.
"I would like to thank all the young people who attended. I have taken their concerns into consideration and will pass them onto the relevant agencies.
"I hope to host future Q&A sessions with the next generation of young people next year."

"There are stories within each found object that I work with or piece of wood that I carve, whispered conversations and forest sounds. Each material has a memory etched into it by time and weather. I dip my finger into that well of stories and try to pull out the essence."
In a rooftop studio in the desert southwest, Elizabeth Frank creates a world populated by wooden people, plants and animals. She combines carved wood with found elements to make works that are inspired by a love of the natural world and a belief in the resilience of human spirit. She infuses each of her artworks with an appreciation for life's mysteries and moments of grace.
Every year Elizabeth Frank travels to the mountains to collect aspen wood. It is dried in a room on her studio roof and then the rough logs are shaped on a band saw. She carves the delicate forms with hand and power tools. The carvings are combined with found materials such as antique tin and vintage hardware. The surface is made with layers of iridescent wash, repeated sanding, painted details and wax.
Elizabeth Frank received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Arizona State University. Her love of found things was sparked while working in the film industry where she was often hired to locate hard to find items for set decoration. After completing her degree she continued acquiring technical skills, most notably, studying language and sculpture in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

We thought that the Wendy's Baconator was overkill with it's 6 strips of bacon, but it looks downright reasonable compared to the burger ordered by a Japanese Burger King patron. This gentleman ordered a hamburger with a mind-blowing 1,050 pieces of bacon. That's right, 1,050 pieces of salty, fatty, artery clogging deliciousness.
What's the damage done from 1,050 pieces of bacon? For starters, 14 pigs will have to donate their bellies to make that much bacon. As for the nutritional impact, 1,050 pieces of bacon has roughly 43,000 calories, 3,000 grams of fat and 197,000 milligrams of sodium. And don't forget that somewhere under all that bacon is a Burger King Hamburger, adding a few hundred more calories.
So how does this story end? Did the Japanese Burger King patron slay the thousand bacon strip beast before coronary heart disease could set in? Did he give up? Check out the video below to find out!

i3 Interactive grows global presence via India online poker purchase
i3 Interactive has completed its previously announced transaction which sees the group acquire a controlling interest in an entity which owns an active Indian poker brand.
The completion of the transaction marks the latest step in the company's continued efforts to capitalise on the international growth of poker, as well as creating long-term value for its shareholders.
This follows the company detailing a business combination agreement with "an arm's length, private British Columbia corporation" which it said "owns an active Indian poker brand," earlier in the year.
Highlighting the intention to rename the brand title, the deal was said to see a company subsidiary, a wholly owned entity under the name 'i3 India Holdings Corp,' gain an indirect controlling interest.
The operation, which is said to operate on an "internationally award-winning mobile poker platform," boasts over a million registrations and 100,000 active users.
"We are thrilled to have completed this transaction. With the historical and projected growth of poker in India the company has strategically positioned itself within a key market in order to deliver strong performance and return on shareholder value," Chris Neville, chief executive officer of i3 Interactive, commented on the purchase.
"This acquisition is a significant step forward in executing on our strategy to identify and pursue growth in strategic markets. The Indian poker operation creates an immediate additional stream of recurring revenues from a loyal customer base in an established international market for the poker business."
As part of the transaction, Neville was appointed as the sole director and officer of i3 India Holdings Corp.

Just the word chocolate makes me long for the taste of sweet and creamy indulgence. Since I was a kid, I have always loved chocolate. No wonder I grew up to be a chocoholic and I think this is one indulgence I will never give up. I'm not picky about chocolates, but I love those that come in pretty boxes just like the ones from serenatachocolates.com. There's a difference in getting those lovely boxes because they never fail to bring the recipient a smile. Although there are days you just want to chomp on a good chocolate bar to pick up a bad day at work.
The ones at serenatachocolates.com look absolutely enticing and they look delicious as well. I am ogling their Belgian gift box right now, and I hope someone would order that for me for my birthday. Isn't it amazing that you can have chocolate delivery by Serenata to anyone you'd like? It's the perfect place to buy gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, well wishes and even on those days you just feel like making someone happy. In addition to chocolates, this place also offers hampers, wines, flowers, plants and experiences. This is absolutely THE place to get your gift shopping done. THE place to sweeten life.


"Account was in dispute-now resolved"
That's what shows up on my credit report for the credit card that the Chase Fraud Department had called me to inform that they had detected suspicious activity and will now close my account and issue me a new one.
They've never done something like this before, and this is the 3rd time this has happened with this card. The first time I disputed a charge that caused the card to be closed. The other two times, they called me.
It was extra painful this time around in getting the detected suspicious activity actually removed from my card.
I pay this card (like I do most others) in full every month.
I think its time to rethink who get's to be my Mastercard.
Was called by Amex once, because Wal-Mart tried to charge me twice for the same thing...so they denied both charges pending contact with me about it. I opted to not purchase the item from Wal-Mart....actually I opted out of buying the item entire, but someday I'll be looking to purchase it from somewhere.
I was called by Discover once, because I had purchased something online (and eBay) and the seller transposed the expiration date.
There are 18 years 8 months 27 days 19 hours 42 minutes and 9 seconds until the end of time.
And, it has been 6 years 3 months 30 days 18 hours 20 minutes and 47 seconds since The Doctor saved us all from the end of the World!

Enjoy this nice upgrade. Why upgrade your DM24? Because it's preamps are still stellar.
And because you can use it as a 32 channel controller for your DAW!

Realtor in Greenwood Indiana
Bargersville
Perry Township
If you are looking for homes for sale on the Southside of Indianapolis, Franklin Township is affordable, has great schools and is convenient for commuters.
Franklin Township, in Marion County, Indiana is part of metropolitan Indianapolis. It is about 42 square miles and is mostly residential. The population is growing fast, and expected to be over 60,000 by the 2020 census.
The borders of Franklin Township are Troy Avenue to the north, Carroll Road/County Line Road to the east (bordering Shelby County), County Line Road to the south (bordering Johnson County), and Emerson Avenue to the west. The township has it's own school district, Franklin Township Community School Corporation.
What are the homes for sale in Franklin Township like?
Franklin Township was one of the last townships of Marion County to see development. It was historically a small town/farming area, and that was strongly protected by civic groups and farmers in the 1900s, as urban sprawl was creeping outside of I-465 all around Indianapolis. Development swiftly increased in the past 30 years, and because of the more recent growth, the majority of homes in the township are newer. Unlike other parts of the southside, Franklin Township didn't have have a large suburban development in the mid-1900s. Most of Franklin Township neighborhoods are planned communities, well taken care of by HOAs. Farm land is still available and new construction is everywhere. So if you want to build a new home in a planned community, or buy some land and build custom, Franklin Township will have a lot to offer.
How far is the commute from Franklin Township to Indianapolis?
Franklin Township is quick 15 minutes or less commute into downtown Indianapolis. And is also a good option if you are commuting to the Castleton area. Commutes to the northeast side are around 20 minutes.
What is great about living in Franklin Township?
The best thing about living in Franklin Township is how close you are to everything in the city and not feel like you are in the city at all. Since surrounding communities like Greenwood have dense retail development, there is no need for it in Franklin Township which keeps traffic down. It is no more than 10 minutes to drive over to Greenwood for their mall and larger selection of retail and restaurants. And one of its best assets is St. Francis Hospital. St. Francis is was named one of the 100 top hospitals in the United States by Truven Health Analytics.
The are three main areas of retail and restaurants in the township and are all located along Emerson Avenue on the west boundary of the township:
Emerson Avenue at I465 has a Walmart and Lowes, and a few franchise restaurants like Waffle House, Rallys, White Castle, Steak n' Shake and McDonalds. Locally-owned Fujiyama Steak House is a well-loved local favorite for hibachi and sushi.
Emerson Avenue at Southport Road has a Target, a Home Depot, Menards and Meijer, franchise restaurants Carrabbas, Longhorn, O'Charley's, Uno Pizzeria, Chick-fil-a, Panda Express, McDonalds, Cracker Barrel, Panera and Jimmy Johns, and locally-owned Mucky Duck Pub, Stacked Pickle and Scotty's Brewhouse.
Emerson Avenue at County Line Road has a Walmart, Kroger, Furniture Store, and some hotels. Franchise restaurants there are Sonic, Zaxby's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Cheddars, Newk's, Popeyes, Culver's and Primanti Brothers. Locally-owned restaurants include Leon Mexican Cuisine, That Place Bar & Grill, Tokyo Buffet and our family's favorite pizza, Brozinni Pizzeria!
There are a few notable things to do and places to go located in Franklin Township. The Buck Creek Winery is a favorite with the adult crowd, especially for it summer concert series. The kids are going to love Greattimes Family Fun Park. It has five acres of fun for all, but I want to mention that the newly installed Indoor Playland for the littles is a great asset to the community! Monkey Joe's is filled with bouncy things…great to use up some energy. Wheatley's Fish Fry offers great food and live music every Friday night May-October at their gazebo.
Franklin Township Lions Club sponsors the annual Old Settler's Day held in Wanamaker every June. It is a street fair with a Classic Car Show and booths for food, arts, crafts, games and entertainment.
Franklin Township enjoys having an amazing park! Southeastway Park is located along the eastern border of the township. With 188 acres and Buck Creek running through it, the beauty and nature provide lots of opportunities for hiking, picnics, playing, fishing and just relaxing!
What people say about living here:
"Schools are great. They get on best school lists. Music program (choir and band) at high school level is amazing. My kids have thrived and it has been a great place to raise them!"
"Neighborhoods are great and upkept nice. And I love that there are still some open fields…makes me feel like I'm not in the city, but we have everything we need here."
"I could not find a better place to live and commute from…my commute is only 15 minutes. I work in downtown Indy, but who wants to live there? Most anywhere else in the city would be more commute, or buy an old small house on a tiny lot and have to renovate. We actually have an acre of land and a house we love. I think it is a great place to live!"

G.C. Murphy. L.S. Good. Sears. Stone & Thomas. Becker's Hardware. Elby's Family Restaurant. Imperial Display. Peking Gardens.
Let's get them all on the table.
Louis' Hot Dog. Boury Inc. The 12th Street Grill. Crone's. The Club Tower. Lanos & Krauss. National Record Mart. Kelly-Mike's. Banov's. Doc Williams. Dawson's Meat Market.
The list of businesses that once operated in the downtown district of Wheeling is long, quite distinguished, and remembered well. Social media internet pages are dedicated to those memories, and the Friendly City is often criticized for the lack of retail businesses in downtown.
But many believe the tide will soon turn.
This is what remained of the lunch counter at G.C. Murphy's before the structure was demolished two years ago. This structure, along with six others, cleared much of the downtown's 1100 block to make way for the first potential, privately-funded construction project since 1982.
All of those memories could not stop the closures, one by one, to the point where the mecca that was once downtown Wheeling no longer resembles our localized version of Gotham. The downtown may never again resemble what it was to citizens between 1910 and 1980 because of the changes in consumer trends.
When downtown Wheeling was a retail hub, inner city shopping and living were considered normal. The development of malls and retail areas followed the invention of suburban living, and the convenience factor led the consumer away from Main and Market streets.
Downtown Wheeling has taken its hits. No longer do 450 employees fill the downtown's tallest building while working for Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel; the 1100 block has been cleared of seven decaying buildings; and McDonald's closed down on the corner of 12th and Market streets back in the late 1990s.
Can there be a blacker eye?
Many of the district's assets remain and change is taking place. The Capitol Theatre, purchased by the Wheeling Convention and Visitor's Bureau on April 3, 2009, has received more than $1 million worth of renovations.
West Virginia Northern Community College transformed the corner of 16th and Market streets with the opening of its Applied Technology Center and; a Barnes & Noble Bookstore and student union. A reconstruction of the Market Street Plaza started in early October and is expected to be completed by the beginning of December.
"I really feel like downtown Wheeling is at a very important juncture in its history," Elliott said. "With several decades of economic decline behind us, we are starting to see signs of life sprouting up here and there. We're not out of the woods yet by any stretch, and we're still searching for a downtown identity, but we really are overcoming our biggest obstacle: Perception.
Wheeling City Manager Robert Herron is encouraged that organizations like ReInvent Wheeling have initiated a plethora of conversations concerning the needs and the hopes. Walkability, beautification, reuse of vacant buildings, more residential areas, and new businesses are all imperative discussions now taking place.
"I see groups like that one as an absolute positive for the city," Herron said. "There is a younger group of people who are really interested in downtown Wheeling and moving downtown Wheeling forward, so we're going to do anything we can to encourage their efforts.
Today, Stone & Thomas is now the Stones Center, home of Williams Lea and Wheeling Jesuit University's doctorate physical therapy program. Boury Inc. is now DiCarlo's Pizza. The Court Theatre is an attorney's office and parking garage inside the Board of Trade Building. King's Jewelry is a church.
The Victoria Theater no longer shows movies, but features an Elvis impersonator once per month. Wesbanco Arena, soon to undergo extensive interior and exterior renovations, continues to be the home of the Wheeling Nailers hockey club while hosting the annual Toughman Contest, the Home & Garden Show, several concerts and shows, and a circus twice per year.
Heritage Port replaced the Wharf Garage in 2001, and now hosts more than 70 events each year, including the Upper Ohio Valley Italian Heritage Festival, the Heritage Wheeling Blues Fest, and the Wheeling Vintage Raceboat Regatta.
Several big-name Blues artists have performed during the monthly "Blues Tuesday" show at River City Restaurant since the beginning of July, including national recording artists Anthony Gomes.
The city of Wheeling partnered five years ago with the CVB to implement the "First Fridays" event the first Friday of every month, and now more than 30 businesses located in downtown and Centre Wheeling participate by offering special pricing on featured items. ReInvent Wheeling has hosted "Show of Hands," an event which promotes new business development and is sponsored by international law firm Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe.
But future business growth, most agree, hinges on residential statistics. An example, Herron said, involves the possibility of a grocery store opening within the downtown district.
Preservationists along with capitalists recently have purchased properties to the north, south, and east of the downtown district. But not all structures have been salvaged.
Elliott admits he, too, is considering loft apartments for a few floors inside the Professional Building, a structure that has housed the Wheeling Stock Exchange, a bank, and various medical offices since opening in 1891. Currently, only the first floor of the building is occupied because of building and fire codes, but the owner has initiated a three-year plan which will result in total access.
"I think the biggest need we have in downtown right now is mid-to-upper-tier housing options for people who want to live in an urban environment. This is particularly important to the so-called millennial generation, but it's also something that I think a lot of Baby Boomers who are tired of taking care of their lawns will consider as well," he said. "We don't have that downtown housing stock yet, but I am aware of at least two housing projects under serious consideration today. And I'm even considering residential options for the Professional Building.
O'Brien peers into the downtown district's future realistically, but he readily acknowledges more development has taken place in this section of the Friendly City in the past two years than since he first began working at a Wheeling radio station in 1986.
"Downtown Wheeling faces many challenges including empty lots, vacant buildings, a decreasing tax base and a lack of private investment. These challenges are insurmountable if the community looks to just one group for answers as has been done in the past," he said. "Today, I see both young and older people with can-do attitudes and fresh ideas stepping up to form creative partnerships to improve the downtown area.
Margie – tax breaks are available … I will have a story on that topic in the near future.
I don't really know how all of this works, but might we attract businesses and investors if there was an incentive (such as a tax break) offered? Is the city government brainstorming ideas to facilitate urban development?
@greggboury I am very disappointed in your reaction to this story. Stores such as Dollar General are perhaps the biggest catalyst of why small businesses couldn't survive downtown in the first place. To suggest that it is the answer to our downtown's recovery is foolishness.
Drive through practically any truly struggling and impoverished downtown (I.e. Weirton, Steubenville, Paden City, Martins Ferry, etc.) and the only place with an open sign is a Dollar General. The business model of this company-and ones like it- are predatory and are not growth incubators but are growth inhibitors.
Do we need a source for groceries, toiletries, junk food, beer, clothing, movies, underwear, shoes, and household decor in downtown? Yes. Should it all be in one store at such a pivotal time in our downtowns future? Well, I hope you can now understand the answer to that.
