Dick was “resurrected” by his fans in the form of a remote-controlled android designed in his likeness.[16] The android of Philip K. Dick was impanelled[clarification needed] in a San Diego Comic Con presentation about the film adaptation of the novel, A Scanner Darkly.

Demographic trends now favor downtown – Small business- msnbc.com

May 20, 2009 at 8:21 pm (Uncategorized) (, , , , , , , )

Good news on the way for Downtown Tempe? One can hope…

What’s behind this shift? Empty-nesters don’t need the big house and don’t want to mow the big lawn. High gas prices are making long commutes less practical. The urban renaissance in big cities ranging from New York to Portland, Ore. — and the revival of charming, vibrant downtowns in small cities like Missoula, Mont. — is making the bedroom suburb and the strip mall seem positively dull.
