UPDATE: Site Launch - May 1, 2008

WHAT’S GOING ON IN YOUR COMMUNITY?

This week, the Middle Cities Monitor officially launches. Part of our mission each week will be to survey the landscape of the four and five-figure cities to see what’s going on in the heart of America. We’ll look at journals, newspapers and internet sites to see what’s making news in the Middle Cities.

This week, we’ve provided you with links to interesting and important stories from all across America. By clicking on the links below, you can read about a family diner in Nebraska where people gather to meet, or how exchange students are enjoying their stays with families in Oregon towns, or how Obama and McCain are interacting with voters outside the big cities.

Whether it’s the people, the passions, the politics or the progress of the Middle Cities, we’re interested in it. And we’ll give you a glimpse each week of what’s going on in this vital part of America.

All of these places are more than cities—they are communities; places where people not only work but live, where families grow and friendships are built. Every day in America, people are building community.


Sincerely,


Gary McCaleb
Executive Director
Center for Building Community
