    Hi...I'm "GRID"

    Hey -- I am so glad that I found this "Cyburbia." I had no idea that it existed! What a cool, creative, perfect name for an urban forum: "CYBURBIA." I stumbled across this on accident and it made my day.

    Anyways, my username is "GRID." It seems I recognize some of your names from other architecture Forums, and some of you may recognize my name.

    I am currently living in the Miami area and going to college. I look forward to graduating one of these days and then I'll leave Miami and head-off to who knows where to start my career -- I'm thinking California: San Francisco or LA. I am a city skyline, urban, and landscape architecture-enthusiast, and hope to use my artistic and creative skills in my future career. "Hello" to you all and I look forward to chatting about our similiar interests in urban topics, although we all come from different backgrounds, continents, countries, and faiths.

    Welcome from the inland northwest.
    A nuisance may be merely a right thing in the wrong place — like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard.

    Welcome from bucolic Central Illinois!
    SOME say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice.
    From what I’ve tasted of desire
    I hold with those who favor fire.
    But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate
    To know that for destruction ice
    Is also great
    And would suffice.

    Robert Frost (1874–1963) (From Harper’s Magazine, December 1920.)

    LA and San Francisco are certainly different urban forms. Welcome from the Valley of the Sun.

    Welcome, Grid, from the north shore of the mighty O-HI-O, 609 miles south of its source, where we are just some 55 hours from illegally moving our Hoosier clocks one hour ahead.

    Cybrurbia is a great place full of fun and sometimes, well, rather lively conversations. Enjoy

    Welcome
    from the northshore of the Ohio River, at milemarker 792.5,
    in the CTZ therefore west of Gedunker.

    Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
    Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
    Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
    From Kelly's Heroes (1970)

    Are you sure you're not hurt ?
    No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
    Broke parts take a little longer, though.
    From Electric Horseman (1979)

    Welcome from the Washington DC metro area.
    "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." Ben Franklin

    Remember this motto to live by: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO- HOO what a ride!'"

    welcome from oozamalaK, nagihciM
    People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor

    You all -- Thanks! I really had no idea about this Forum before. I would love to see this place just boom with even tons more traffic. Also, it is neat how this Forum is tied-in so closely with an adult-feeling urban planning website!

    Lakelander -- It is great to see you, too. I've always felt you were one of the true, authentic urbanists. It makes sense seeing you here.
