The 2006 Website of the Year: CoolTown Studios
It’s probably no surprise that we’ve selected CoolTown Studios as the walkable-related Website of the Year. After all, isn’t it always the case that what is selected in January as the “whatever of the month” ends up being the “whatever of the year” as well? CoolTown Studios is certainly deserving of the selection. Neil Takemoto, who runs the site, has...
Read MoreDecember Website of the Month: Brand Avenue
The Site of the Month for December, Brand Avenue, is a site I recently stumbled upon and I actually have no idea who runs it.

All while snapping various photos of wacky and whimsical things he observes...

The Urban Commons is run by Jesse Hudson who describes the site as “an online journal focused on the politics and culture of city life.” Mr. Hudson attempts to “explore cities and urban life through urbanism, the arts, architecture,...
Read MoreAugust Website of the Month: The New York City Streets Renaissance
Perhaps I did a little foreshadowing in my previous post on which site would be chosen for the August Site of the Month. The selection for this month is The New York City Streets Renaissance.
