NYT Covers Chicago’s Parking Meter Mishap

The NYT has an interesting article about the Chicago parking meter privatization deal that I was none-too-happy about last year.

Interesting interview from NPR’s Marketplace about U.S. green biz.

This interview largely confirms what I’ve thought to be the case about the regulatory environment in the U.S concerning green businesses: in the global marketplace, we are not considered the best country to invest in.  If the U.S. intends to maintain influence in this century, we must pursue these ventures more adamantly, or lose the opportunity to more ambitious companies and countries.

Second City to Celebrate 50th Anniversary

Chicago’s Second City is the city’s worst-kept comedy secret.  Their alumni includes many of the best comedians of the past 30 years, from John Belushi & Dan Akroyd to Tina Fey & Stephen Colbert.  Congratulations to Second City for reaching their 50th year.
