Last Saturday was indeed an adventure. With as hot and muggy as it was, we all thought Eileen had finally lost her marbles when she turned us UP one of the steepest hills in Midtown. When we got to the top, though, we understood. She took us to a construction project that is soon to be a certified green-built house. We marveled at the way Midtown is constantly changing and at how a modern, eco-wonder can nestle in perfectly at home amidst the early-century brick beauties around it. It was and is a hopeful sign that maybe we're not all going to hell in a collapsing-planet handbasket afterall.
