Comings + Goings
I cannot for the life of me remember how I cam across this over the weekend, but check it out! Forbes created this nifty interactive map based on IRS data that shows the residential moving patterns of the 10 million Americans who packed up and headed elsewhere in 2008 (out of their original county, but within the U.S.). DC seems to have a pretty equal amount of newcomers and defectors. Perhaps heavier due to the 2008 election? I am curious to see how 2009 statistics would compare, visually.
And while you’re playing around with this, two debuts of note. Amongst the creative endeavors of my infinitely talented friends, there happen to be two things I’ve been anticipating that both went live today: the Summer 2010 issue of Lines + Stars literary magazine, and the release of Sarasota’s latest EP, I Am Not My Habits, available for free download. Did I mention Joseph Gordon-Levitt himself digs his debut album, Things Alive? And if you are not convinced yet:
Check it all out, show them some love.
P.S. I am digging the Brightest Young Things website redesign that went live today (sparkly changing jewel tone background colors!) and the feature piece on suburban food exploration. As a former resident of Silver Spring I am remiss that I have not been to all of these places in that corner of the diamond.
