http://tcdailyplanet.net/node/43459
by Betsy Gabler, TC Daily Planet
When I walked out of the Ordway after seeing Anglique

Illusion Theater and the Lighthouse Group presented Molire's *Misanthrope
or the Impossible Lovers* as this year's Lights Up production. Eric Powell

http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/node/43466
by Brian DeVore The City of Minneapolis is considering how to make it
easier for "urban ag" to exist in some of the most non-rural neighborhoods
in the state. In fact, the public comment period for the Urban Agriculture
Policy Plan <http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/cped/urban_ag_plan.asp> wraps
up Jan. 31. Ag in the city? It's not such a stretch. "We are still a nation
of farmers at heart," nationally recognized community gardening guru Rose
Hayden-Smith<http://www.foodandsocietyfellows.org/about/fellow/rose-hayden-smith>told
me recently.
NOMI PASSENGER | NoMi entertainment: CC and WangWang harmonize
http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/node/43473

activism, outreach and anti-slumlord
battles<http://adventuresofjohnnynorthside.blogspot.com/2009/04/warning-city-inspectors-hawthorne.html>.
Sometimes we just get together and find ways to entertain ourselves using
our children or our pets. Or our pets and children together.
