		<description><![CDATA[The Further Adventures of Li’l Bruce Wayne [The Invincible Super Blog] Often disregarded as part of any continuity, Li’l Bruce Wayne was a long-running series of light-hearted comic books aimed at children, detailing the life of a young, fantastically wealthy Bruce Wayne (known in the series as “The Happiest Kid On Earth”) in the years before the deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne and his subsequent transformation into Batman The series was originally created by Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson to fill a gap in DC’s publishing schedule after the cancellation of More Fun Comics in 1946, and ran through the majority of the Silver Age despite being regarded by editors and fans alike as being “extremely depressing” [citation needed] and is usually left out of any discussion of the character. It is notable, however, as being the first published comic book work of writer/artist Frank Miller. Of course, there are covers and details at the link.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@ goodspeedupdate- Planning a Fake City Our novels, films, and urban planning textbooks are filled with imaginary cities. Whether utopias or dystopias, most of these fictional cities imagine what a city could be at its best — or worst. However, few describe an average city, let alone map out a typical 1,011 square mile American city in excruciating detail, complete with a named streets and an imaginary history. That’s precisely what my friend Neil Greenberg set out to do with his Fake Omaha project&#8230; Doing the math, the entire metro area equals 1,011 square miles to scale. RG: How big will the complete Fake Omaha be, both on paper and also if it were a real city? NG: The Fake Omaha metro area exists on 17 sheets, each one 34 inches by 28 inches. All sheets observe the same scale (4 inches equals 1 mile) and design standards. It’s hard to give dimensions of the whole map, as it’s oddly shaped and it’s been fully assembled only three times. Fittingly, my approach to planning the project mirrored the development of American metropolitan areas. I began with one sheet, a “zoomed out” core area of Fake Omaha and a few close-in [...]]]></description>

A month or two later, it&#8217;s broadcast during rush hour, on a Friday night, as you want to give people something to think about over the weekend. But soon commuters are pulling over to the side of the road and staring, shocked, at the radio – because you&#8217;ve given no introduction, and no one out there has any idea what this is. Some guy found a boathouse attached to his apartment in Manhattan&#8230;?, one driver thinks. But the stories keep coming. There&#8217;s a skyscraper with a whole hidden floor&#8230;? someone thinks, momentarily amazed – before driving into the car in front of her. A woman on the Upper East Side found what? Or: All along he had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[:: Propaganda posters from the Great War of the Californias. [MentalFloss] The Great War of the Californias was virtually forgotten only months, actually only days, after it had ended, whenever that was. Its dates are uncertain, lost in a haze of mass hysterical amnesia over this traumatic collective memory, complicated by the compulsive viewing of reality shows on network TV. Fortunately for posterity, copious documentation of the Great War exists in the form of paintings, drawings, prints, and propaganda posters, as well as other artifacts :: Neo-Ruins: Photographs of Post-Apocalyptic Tokyo [Wired] Japanese photographer Hisaharu Motada envisions the radioactive and decomposing cityscapes of post-apocalyptic Tokyo in his &#8220;Neo-Ruins&#8221; series of photographs. :: Contributor Kevin Church&#8217;s new comic, Cover Girl, is available at your local comic book store. :: Spider-Man 3 cheeseburger.

		<description><![CDATA[:: What&#8217;s Next for US Cities [andrewblum.net] Is [a move toward "walkable urbanity"] a backlash to suburbanization? [Christopher Leinberger:] Since high density was the only option for cities for millennia, I view it as the pendulum swinging back. Demographics are a major factor. In Washington, D.C., where I live, there&#8217;s a baby boom going on. I&#8217;ve never seen so many young children, because their parents aren&#8217;t moving out to the suburbs as the kids get to school age. Factor in the baby boomers&#8217; retirement shift to smaller houses and you&#8217;ve got all this pent-up demand for walkable urbanity. The latest consumer research suggests that 30 to 40 percent of U.S. households want it in some form—located in the city or in suburban town centers. :: New episode of Hudson and Gaines. Very funny.

		<description><![CDATA[At boingboing.net: Will Eisner&#8217;s New York &#8211; like Jane Jacobs in graphic form This is a glorious book. The longer pieces &#8212; &#8220;New York,&#8221; &#8220;The Building,&#8221; &#8220;City People,&#8221; &#8220;Invisible People&#8221; &#8212; are fully-formed things, whole stories that manage to put an entire novel&#8217;s worth of feeling into a few short pages. The vignettes are executed with such a deft hand and such a keen observer&#8217;s eye that they achieve nearly as much, sometimes with just a panel or two. This is like a graphic version of The Death and Life of Great American Cities, the kind of thing that documents the unseen and all-important symbiosis that humanity achieves with the largest organisms on the planet: our cities. Yes. I&#8217;ve only read a bit of this, but will definitely have to pick up the whole collection. Chances are, if you like what you see here, you will probably enjoy this.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of months ago, I had to rent a car and drive out to the western part of the state on business, as the company wouldn&#8217;t spring for a train ticket. On hour four of my trip, tooling down the interstate, I had the radio set on scan, flipping between the frequencies, looking for anything at all to relieve the grinding boredom. Suddenly, at 1420 AM, the radio stopped in the middle of &#8220;Express Yourself&#8221; by Charles Wright &#38; The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band. Needless to say, I was a bit surprised and almost broke the damn thing trying to lock it in, convinced that I&#8217;d found the holy grail of in-the-middle-of-nowhere awesome radio stations. Once the song ended, though, it went right into a talk show and I figured that my glory was short-lived. I was wrong. What followed was one of the best examples of small-town talk radio I had ever heard. &#8220;Hudson and Gaines&#8221; broadcasts on Great Haven&#8217;s WBFK (&#8220;Your home for old-school funk and Bush Pilots baseball.&#8221;), hosted by local hardware magnate/conservative Mike Hudson and Great Haven Community College instructor/liberal Craig Gaines. Luckily, they have a web site and there are a few episodes [...]]]></description>
