I just realized that for the last two weeks I have been absent-mindedly<\/p>\n
dating my blog entries in May instead of June. The blog has been up-to-date, but<\/p>\n
it has appeared to be month old. I suppose that the people who visited during<\/p>\n
that period will think this blog is dead and won’t come back to read this message.<\/p>\n
Maybe it’s time for me to use some automated software …<\/p>\n
On a less embarrassing<\/p>\n
note, we are thinking of creating an "arts blog" <\/b>for Prince George’s<\/p>\n
County. We would recruit several residents, each with a deep interest in a different<\/p>\n
aspect of the county’s arts scene. We would give them training and ask them to<\/p>\n
post at least weekly with news, reviews, and commentary. This would be an interesting<\/p>\n
experiment in blogging within a geographical community, particularly one that’s<\/p>\n
not particularly high-tech. It would also be a small contribution to the County’s<\/p>\n
efforts to develop as an arts center. I think these efforts are promising. The<\/p>\n
communities closest to Washington are affordable, near a major university, and<\/p>\n
culturally diverse—perfect for artists. We have to be careful not to gentrify<\/p>\n
the area in a way that displaces the current residents. But if arts development<\/p>\n
is handled right, it could bring new resources into the community while preserving<\/p>\n
its diversity. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
