Davisville, 7/21/14: Sizing up the architecture of Davis

Davis doesn’t have a lot of natural beauty—we have great trees, but no dramatic mountains or river—so buildings are maybe more important here than they would be elsewhere, in terms of defining the look of the town. So, what makes good architectural design in Davis? What does Davis need more of, or less of? We talk about this today with Davis architect Robert Lindley, who over a 30-year career has designed many buildings in Davis and elsewhere (including Mishka’s Café, behind him in this photo).

Chambers Street Theatre for 11am on Jul 24th, 2014

Today Ruth reads from the Mark Twain Autobiography published after his death.  Chapter 2 talks about slavery as Twain knew it in his boyhood before the Civil War.  Then Ruth tells the story of her childhood when she stood on one side of a large canyon and listened to a Black Church on the other side of the canyon and how it affected her.  July 24 is a Civil Rights Anniversary.

Ruth also reads her comments on "The Ice Caps Are Melting," and how to prepare for rising water.
