His legacy has mostly slipped through the cracks, but his ideas provided a blueprint for re-creating the city as a center of modern social life, laying the groundwork for today’s New Urbanist movement.
I had heard about him but really wasn't aware of his work championing many good ideas that really improved cities across the nation
How I picked out the year for peak employment in New York State by County.
Just a few quick lines of Python code:
import pandas as pd
# by using RemoteZip (pip install remotezip) this speeds # up downloads by only downloading the files in the zip file # that we actually need from DOL from remotezip import RemoteZip
dolzip='https://dol.ny.gov/statistics-lauszip'
# download & load only cities and counties with RemoteZip(dolzip) as zip: df=pd.read_csv(zip.extract('laus_counties.txt')) df=df.append(pd.read_csv(zip.extract('laus_cities.txt')))
# get rid of double quotes in column names df.columns = df.columns.str.replace('\"','')
# get rid of spaces in column names df.columns=df.columns.str.replace(' ','') # select year and county totals, create a pandas pivot table, then # run idmax to the highest employment number for each county df[((df['MONTH'] == 0) & (df['AREA'].str.contains('County')))].pivot(index='YEAR',columns='AREA',values='EMP').idxmax()
You know your standards are low when you get excited about a 48 degree day.
But it’s been a long winter, so we will take whatever we can get. 48 degrees is almost as warm as my heat is, so it won’t be running much and the outdoors will feel nice, maybe almost even vest weather. Maybe I’ll wear my vest when I go for my evening walk. I thought about getting out of town on Saturday, but I think it might actually be a pretty cool and cloudy weekend, with a lot of dampness and breeze. Plus, I am hoping for better weather for President’s Day Weekend or maybe April, or however the dice may roll.

Good morning! Happy Don’t Cry over Spilled Milk Day !
Spread enough lime over it and shouldn’t be too pungent as it starts to rot. Good advice for life.
Partly sunny and 31 degrees at the Dunn Memorial Bridge. There is a south breeze at 8 mph. . There are 3 inches of snow on the ground. ️Sidewalks and other unsalted locations are a bit icy.
Nice mild sunny morning for a change. The cold of winter seems to be moderating for a change. That’s good for a change.
Walked down the express bus stop , it was sunny but the sidewalks were icy in spots. The bus was on time, and I got off at the Concourse, took the stairs up to the plaza, walked around for a bit, and then came into the office. I will have to drop the window shade when I get into the office, as the sun is bright this morning.
50 degrees later which nice, as that’s a warm as I keep my apartment most of the winter, so that means my heat won’t be working much today. Too cold though to open up the windows at this point. But maybe in a few weeks, as it looks like we might have a mild remainder of the month into March. That said, we will certainly have some cold blasts, as witnessed by the cold weather expected for Valentines Day, that will certainly freeze your heart.
