I promised something on the Resilient Rochester feature section of the Sunday Democrat & Chronicle and today I intend to deliver. Luckily many of these stories are magazine-like in nature and do not carry with them time relevance like you see on development news. As I thought about how to present such a wide array of news, I began to think about the prospect of dead links or subscription only links in the future. Interestingly, the story about home assessments linked to in Urban News Vol. 1 still works as a link so I will do three things:
First, I will create a simplified link archive to the special section. Second, I will cherry pick and dig deeper into the stories which deal specifically with city businesses. The overall feature was overarching and took a regional approach. I, as is the theme of the blog, choose not to, but I'm not so ignorant as to dismiss positive suburban economic development as bad for the city/county simply because it is suburban. Third and lastly, I will post on the things only present in the hard copy such as the real estate outlook and statistics/graphs.
