Awesome! St. Peterborough/Restaurant Row revival (my old hood). Thanks for the link, PC!

On the urban planning tip, the cost of urban freeways.

This gets to my frustration with peoples focus on organizations like the Innocence Project as a driving force behind the fight against capital punishment - Opposing the death penalty is not about innocence: "The hunt for the identity of a wrongfully executed person reflects the need to put a face on one particular critique of capital punishment. That hunt is admirable and, if structured the right way, well worth the cost. But the "innocence" critique need not have a face to be right, and the myriad other critiques of our perverse capital punishment system should not all stand or fall on our ability to specifically identify a wrongful execution."
