that BIG EAR: The Face of Jackson, oh How it’s Changed
http://thatbigear.blogspot.com/2008/10/face-of-jackson-oh-how-its-changed.html
Thursday, October 23, 2008. The Face of Jackson, oh How it’s Changed. Yes, when people ask me do I enjoy spending time in. My answer isn’t usually an honest yes. Has a lot to offer a 23 year old kid, but then again, it leaves a lot to be desired. I grew up in. My childhood years were spent like most regular kids. I played a lot of little league baseball, rode my bike, played backyard football, went to church weekly, you know, kid stuff. I can’t count the hours I spent at. I always hated that windmill.

Wednesday, January 14, 2009. Survey Results - Part 1. For our first attempt of extracting public opinion, we conducted a very general survey. The most important aspect of developing theories about existing issues is to identify what these are and their hierarchy. Jacksonians were asked to do so in the survey. We had 360 respondents and the results are as followed:. To what extent can the JCDC fit into this equation? What should our role in the continuing growth of the city be? Posted by that BIG EAR.

http://thatbigear.blogspot.com/2008/11/can-architects-solve-crime.html
Monday, November 10, 2008. Can architects solve crime? What would it take for you to move back to Jackson? Answer: "Navy Seals.at least 12 of them". In our survey we ask questions about the main problem Jackson faces.almost 70% of Jacksonians who have responded have said "crime" and "bad leadership" are the main contributors to the current perception of Jackson. As an architect, these two problems create an interesting predicament. What can an architect do to address these problems? Posted by that BIG EAR.

http://thatbigear.blogspot.com/2009/07/jacksonian-transit.html
Wednesday, July 8, 2009.
