Noted with sadness, the death of Jane Jacobs

Great American Thinker. Author of the "The Death and Life of Great American Cities" when I was just in 6th grade. Dies this past week. Her ideas were profound in affecting the people who fought to design downtown Portland and who envisioned places like Pioneer Courthouse Square. We need a whole new generation of writers to reflect on what they see in America, not with an agenda but with honesty, innovative perspective and clear voices.
