Well, I'm very SAD today. So much so that I wrote sad in all caps. It turns out there's this organization called The National Civics League which awards "ALL AMERICA CITY" awards to 10 communities in the United States each year who "demonstrate innovation, inclusiveness, civic engagement, and cross sector collaboration by describing successful efforts to address pressing local challenges". Since 1949 when they began handing out the award, cities in 49 states and Puerto Rico have won the award. The only state that hasn't? UTAH. I discovered this while researching for todays lesson on the Progressive Era. Nice run over lunch. 8 miles in the Dimple Dell Gully. About 60 miles this week and only 4 on the treadmill. So that's good I guess.
