Of Local Interest
Today we took a little field trip to
WaterWorks at Arizona Falls. It's basically a water treatment plant that has been refashioned into a public-friendly gathering spot, with soothing waterfalls, paths, rocks and benches. In some spots, you can look down into the canal at fish swimming around. Fun. The place is at Indian School Road east of 56th Street in Phoenix.

Hey--
There has been some good press about WaterWorks here in the NorthEast-- a couple of small AP things in local rags, and I think (?) a short piece in the NYT.
What a wonderful idea!
Recycle, get refreshed, feel civic pride all at the same time.
When was the last time any of us heard such a "government and the the governed really can make it better" story? And private developers holding hands with artists, to boot!
I'm thirsty (heh) for some good news about government right now. Excellent find!
