Friends of the Falls’ multi-talented Executive Director Steve Faust showed off another skill recently - as shorthand author of a nice article for the Spokesman-Review.
Spokane’s local paper of record has established several new features recently, including a weekly ”TXT” section on web and software-related issues. One segment of the feature involves local businesspeople and notables submitting thoughts on how they use the web, including addresses of sites they find particularly interesting. Our Mr. Faust took it a bit further and offered a nice historical backdrop - dramatic changes his grandmother witnessed growing up in Montana - to our growing information age.
Among the sites Steve likes: On the political front, he lists MediaMatters.org, The Center for Media and Democracy. For urban design issues, Steve included our favorite MetroSpokane, and local firm Studio Cascade. Of course, river issues fill Steve’s life these days, so his column had to include a few select choices - hints on how Spokane might embrace its river opportunities with Denver’s Greenway Foundation, the Teva Mountain Games, and on a regulatory note, the Avista FERC relicencing site.
Last but not least, Steve siezed the opportunity to mention - who else - Friends of the Falls. Thanks, Steve!
