The FLOG continues to grow. Last week, we averaged more than 350 readers (”unique viewers”) every day. We expect readership to slow a little during the next two weeks, since the Montgomery County Planning Board has no meetings scheduled on the White Flint Sector Plan.
Many thanks to our readers, and we welcome you to participate as well as read.

The Congress for the New Urbanism, www.cnu.org, has released a new video on New Urbanism, highlighting the “greatest threat to our civilization:” . . . . the cul-de-sac. The video won its contest to explain visually the philosophy of New Urbanism. “What we build is our greatest threat . . . or our greatest hope.” New Urbanism is the philosophy behind the White Flint Sector Plan.
