Think "urban" and you probably envision a sea of buildings made of concrete, steel, and glass; "agriculture" conjures up "amber waves of grain." Marry the two terms, and you're no longer talking about cities or farming, but the nexus of the two and much, much more. Urban agriculture is at the center of communities (e.g., community gardens), city planning, and youth/leadership development in cities around the world.
EndnoteIt's safe to say that during my first twenty years or so as a licensed driver - from the early '70s through the mid-'90s - the subject of distracted driving wasn't something I'd given any thought to. After all, there really wasn't much in the car to distract us back then except a basic stereo and perhaps a CB radio. (In the interest of full disclosure, for a period of several years, I did rely on a CB radio to monitor traffic congestion on our 150mile round-trip commute to New York City. Please don't ask me what my "handle" was; I never had one - honest.)by Barbie E.

Some of the most helpful sites are crowdsourced, which goes against all that we learn about investigating the authenticity and authority of sources used. You do have to be careful, but often it's the practical wisdom of those who have battled local ordinances and lobbied city hall that will prove most helpful.Nowadays, there's a lot more vying for my attention behind the wheel than a can of Diet Coke and the traffic around me. From the portable GPS device sitting on top of the dashboard (telling me that I just missed an exit and need to "make a U-turn as soon as possible"), to the sound system's oversized display (that displays anything from information about the song being played, to the running order of a NASCAR race, to pictures of my kids), to the smart phone (providing a constant reminder of every e-mail I'm receiving), like many Americans today, I've allowed a little too much technology to enter my driving space.
