A few days ago writer, teacher, and curator Bert Stabler posted to the gochgo list a link to a video document of the remarkable Piñata Factory project, which he, his public school students, and many others helped make happen. Mike Bancroft initiated the project. You especially gotta love the broad daylight stealth 'Streets & San' truck deliveries. Equal parts service work, social activism, anti-authoritarian provocation, and classroom student art project, Piñata Factory inspires. Check it out on Current.

[this is good]
How thoughtful of the DOT to fence off the homeless so they can't even get shelter under a bridge in the middle of winter. Unbelieveable. I think the Governor should force the DOT staff to volunteer for HFH every weekend until they retire.
I'm totally impressed with the pinata project - really enjoyed the video. Now I'm wanting to visit Chicago - maybe next time I drive to S. Dakota with my friend.
