The return of the Blog is near!

Some of you thought that the Allen Arena blog was dead... but thinking about this crazy world, I've decided to resurrect my blog as a place to keep and share articles I come across that I find interesting in these "Sports":

• Architecture
• Planning
• Politics
• Transportation

There will also be posts related to other topics of interest, like comedy, roller coasters and amusement parks, and (actual) sports.

I will work out details, like colors, schemes, and maybe even the name of the blog.  But one way or another, it is coming back!  I also plan to link updates to Facebook and Twitter.

Reporting back from Chicago and more... finally.
