Thanks folks - I am actually not in CBS. I grew up in CBS/St.John's but am currently based in Montreal/Brussels.

Check this video out though:
http://www.ted.com/talks/james_howar..._suburbia.html

It's a great TEDtalk on 'dissecting suburbia'. He has about the same amount of aggression toward the suburbs as I do.

I was considering posting it on the CBS Main Street facebook page, but I suspected it would be a little offensive to some suburban dwellers... haha.

I particularly appreciate how he makes fun of "planters" as a sloppy 'nature band-aid' that suburban towns use to compensate for bad urbanism and planning. haha very true and appropriate in light of the Mayor of CBS vision for the redevelopment.
