Put down that Pumpkin Spice Latte…
Hold your thoughts on your Halloween costume…
We're continuing our celebration of what really makes October special –
COMMUNITY PLANNING MONTH!!!
[pause for the rapturous applause to die down]
As you know loyal reader, it’s that special time of year when the winds start to gust and everyone starts thinking about urban planning.
Well, maybe it's just us, but we hope we've heightened your awareness of all the planning that's been going on around Monrovia for the past half a century. You're thinking about urban planning, right? Is that just us?
Like most professions, Planning has its own jargon that we affectionately refer to as Plannerese. Not just words, but also a whole cadre of acronyms to boot!
But you know us, we like to help. Sooo....as an early trick or treat, we're including a special word search filled with all sorts of helpful planning lingo to add to your vocabulary.
Can't read that small print? Well, neither can we, so click here to download your very own copy of the word search. Make copies, they're excellent pumpkin stuffers!
Good luck and remember – sometimes setbacks are a good thing!
Oh, don't worry we haven't included the acronym from hell.
Monrovia Planning Fun Fact:
