Today I learned there is a "Standin' on The Corner Foundation" It's a nonprofit based in Winslow, Arizona, very much in the same spirit as @FactoryTwo, actually, using community energy and creativity to revitalize a town that got left behind. Winslow was a thriving town until the 1970s, when it declined as the interstate bypassed it, as happened to many Route 66 towns. Starting in 1994, the Standin' On The Corner Foundation (originally called the La Posada Foundation) formed as a nonprofit dedicated to the rebirth and restoration of historic downtown Winslow. WikipediaStandinonthecorner Their anchor project was leveraging a very specific piece of pop culture: the song "Take It Easy," written by Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey and made famous by the Eagles, which includes the lyric about standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona. Between 1997 and the park's opening, unpaid volunteers put together design concepts and construction plans, with the rule that if it wasn't in the song, it wouldn't be in the park. The park includes land donated by the Kaufman family, a two-story trompe-l'œil mural by artist John Pugh, a life-sized bronze statue by sculptor Ron Adamson of a 1970s troubadour with a guitar, all surrounded by donor bricks inscribed with stories of fondness for Winslow. After Glenn Frey passed away in 2016, a statue in his likeness was unveiled at the park that September. Beyond the park, the Foundation's mission is providing leadership and vision for preserving Winslow's natural and man-made resources while planning community growth, and they run one of Arizona's longest-running music festivals on the last weekend of September. Basically: took one famous lyric, built a tourist anchor around it, used that to fund broader downtown revitalization. Scrappy nonprofit urbanism at its finest.

my morning coding, I had to phone a friend Okay this is genuinely hilarious and also a perfect Easter metaphor it died, it rose again, it cannot be killed. The evidence is now conclusive: Explorer sees it ✓ UAC prompts for admin to delete it ✓ Elevated delete attempt → "Invalid MS-DOS function" ✓ PowerShell (admin) → "does not exist" ✓

Cars lined up around the block to pick up face shields and masks in flint made at @FactoryTwo for free to anyone who needs them! Rain or shine Factory Two is an AMAZING organization, I'm so very glad I can help them out on this mission!
