In the latest issue of the EVANSTON Roundtable-1. A poll of condo owners reveals some things are most pleasant and others annoying. Such as not enough clothing stores for people out of college, no department stores, not enough food stores, too many condos and highrises and too many beggars and homeless people on the streets. Now that is a good list. In the post peak oil era EVANSTON is better prepared than most places because there are groups advocating relocalisation and organic food AND good public transit. I do agree the Northwestern students are not a model for city planning. I think their generation is mostly too tech oriented and not grounded in the old ways of doing things. Some seem very aware of peak oil whilst the rest enjoy their ipods. Some Chicago burbs have zero public transportation except for commuters. Many have SOME buses running but not covering the whole town. A few have really good transit services. I do consider myself lucky to be here and not drive because if gas became very scarce or costly enough to make a commute nightmarish, I would be SCREWED.

About Me
- Rainey
- I thought I had a sure thing with that Emergency Soup Delivery Service, but it turns out sick people don't ask their *friends* to pamper them, much less *strangers.* So I guess that's the business that got away. Now it turns out there are much bigger fish to fry, figuring out how to thrive in a world without oil. Still, a girl's gotta eat. I'm looking for interesting employment! Any leads for me?
