    This really connects to the public spaces lecture we had Thursday. You can see many of the characteristics of good public spaces throughout the video.

    This is a lecture by Carolyn Steel on how food shapes our cities. She takes a more negative view of our unsustainable food practices. But she goes on to connect agriculture to urbanization.

    John Lennon-- "Luck of the Irish"

    Two famous artists with two famous songs expressing their political views about civil unrest in Ireland. (also seems appropriate since we just celebrated St. Patty's Day)
