On August 20 I had the pleasure of witnessing a promotion ceremony for 4 of Iowa City's excellent police officers. There were lots of happy family members in the audience.

One of the greatest pleasures of attending the project meeting in Grand Rapids MI last week was renewing friendships with some mayors and making new friends with others. Like Grand Rapids' mayor and South Bend IN mayor .

There's so much to praise about project's meeting in last week. The presentations about equitable economic development were specially good. But so was the bike tour along the Grand River.

Had dinner with researchers in Helsinki a few nights ago. Helsinki is a beautiful city, one that is very walkable and human in scale, but now, alas, we are departing from the train station designed by Eero Saarinen.

A primary election will be held on Sep 4 to see which 2 of 5 candidates will compete on Oct 2 to fill the Iowa City council seat vacated by Kingsley Botchway. It's an admirable list of candidates: Ann Freerks, Ryan Hall, Christine Ralston, Bruce Teague, and Brianna Wills.

Historically, Helsinki has limited its buildings to 5 stories in height. And yet the population density is high. In the midst of these 5-story structures, the city has a large number of high-quality urban neighborhood parks. The result is a high-quality living environment.

On our first evening in Helsinki, we had dinner at a terrific vegetarian restaurant named "Yes, Yes, Yes." Great way to start our visit.
