If Macklemore shopped at Home Goods

I’m not sure how far $5 million would go towards improving our nation’s @wmata.com transit system… but I’d much rather see better transit for all than a bunch of gilded statues or a towering arch.

Sunday reading at our favorite coffee shop. Abundance by @ezraklein.bsky.social @dkthomp.bsky.social is one of those books you need to put down to truly reflect on what you just read.

Well hello there Lancaster! Full agenda this evening.

Have any cities or smaller towns implemented decibel monitors? I’m thinking like the speed limit displays that flash when you’re going too far. Difficult to enforce but just the same I’m curious 🤨

Every year the caretaker at the cemetery across the street goes heavy with the RoundUp leaving an unattractive swath of dirt along the fence and curb. This year, I asked if we could adopt a portion to plant excess Black-Eyed Susans and Echinacea from our garden 🌼

If only there was something to help when I’m driving down Duke Street during utility work.

Signs of Spring #VisionZero

Good morning Lancaster! A little Sunday morning reading with @johnfugelsang.bsky.social “Separation of Church and Hate”.

Traffic calming, better visibility and rain gardens are a step in the right direction. #VisionZero

Hello BlueSky!

I’m sure it is the custom of non-profit orgs to sell their mailing lists. We made one donation in 2025 and the fundraising pleas keep getting better. This one takes the cake!

Hey Lancaster! There is a shortcut to SteepleView Lofts, Friendship Heart Gallery, Zoetroplois and our favorite Cocina Mexicana. Enjoy the walk through Gallery118 on the 100 block of N Prince Street to Water Street. Thoughtful urbanism 😊

We all have that crazy aunt. I was blessed with two (Aunt Laura you know I’m talking about you). Yesterday the world lost the GOAT… my dear Aunt Adele. She was my mom’s older sister and my god mother. My daughter Lillian said it perfectly, “Aunt Adele was an icon”.

My wife said we’re walking downtown for coffee today. Saddle up!

Success 🪑

Coming Soon! 52 units of affordable housing with ground level grocery 🏗️

One of my favorite things to do each year is rearrange my bookshelf to showcase what I’m currently reading and referencing.

Prepping for tomorrow’s cookie bar at work! No bake Dragon Cookies are one of my favorites that I can’t wait to share 🐉

Last Planning Commission of 2025. Full agenda. Hate saying goodbye to my fellow commissioners Tony, Amos and Miriam. Looking forward to what we will accomplish in 2026☺️

I would love to go back to this moment of pure bliss.

🎄 First Friday in Lancaster’s downtown. It was totally worth braving the winter chill to see a reindeer 🦌 🎄

Blending the old with the new.

Making huge strides at the Catherine Hershey Early Childhood Education Center on Walnut and Plum. Great adaptive reuse ♻️

Perhaps a not so crazy idea… Can we build hydroponic farms adjacent or on top of AI data centers?

I woke up thinking…Maybe I’ll be a lumberjack for Halloween. Please don’t call me a 2012 worship leader. #IYKYK

And the portico too.

Not even a year ago 😮‍💨

Not every residential build needs to be sexy. Just give me clean lines, density, and an abundance of amenities.
