Stopping the Jail Train
Because it won't take us to Safeville
Some years ago, I read a piece about nuclear-testing "tourism" in 1950s era Nevada -- an exotic, early form of what we'd call adventure tourism today. The Silver State was the venue for much of America's atomic weapons development program.

Forgotten Parks
Advanced decay just one of the issues
Everything, it seems, in city service provision is wildly entangled. While questioning the need for humongous public safety in the abstract is pointless and even heretical, Tulsa's hyper-conventional arrangements for doing/funding police and fire protection have at least two unintended outcomes: city employees who are not cops or firefighters are big casualties of our hugely unimaginative, extremely costly public safety trajectory, and the insufferable neglect of our public parks and recreational programs is a second disaster zone.
