You know one of the most powerful aspects of Active Rain is how elegantly this medium brings together so many different perspectives from all walks and levels of our industry. From newbies to old hands who both have much to share about our business and business in general! MYTH-OLOGY: On a recent post of mine, a commenter quoted an inaccurate fact that was slanted with opinion, based on that fact. While I was blissfully working with clients that day, the commenter was corrected and later graciously retracted and edited their comment. When I returned to my post later, I was discovered what had transpired from another member who communicated this to me. Cool! Folks here are amazingly generous and fair in sharing ideas and information among co-pros; it's a great place to research, test ide... 03/12/2009

In early January, I wrote a blog post about my memories of a drive-in restaurant that went back to my days as a youth. The place featured the 19 cent beefy, you bought about three at a time and they were great to the palate of a sappy kid. You can see that blog post here. I was at the barber shop the other day and the fellow cutting my hair asked if I had been to the new nostalgic drive-in that has recently opened in Ferndale -- a town a few miles north of Bellingham. I have not been to the new establishment, but this man proceeded to tell me how much fun it was. The drive-in, called "The Sonic Drive-in" has a goal of creating nostagia by taking us back to an authentic 1950's/60's experience. That is apparent by the facade and it goes as far as wait-staff serving the cars while wearing ... 03/01/2009

What is a planned unit development and Why would it benifit residents? A Planned unit development (PUD) is both building development and regulatory process.
