I haven't posted recently on our Web 2.0 series so I thought I would do so today.
I miss Ze Frank's "The Show" - It was a glorious exploration, everyday something new. Yes, some worked better than others but going through each day, it was magic.
I recall back at the first PodCamp Boston, Steve Garfield coordinated a session that produced this video on "Riding the Fire Eagle Danger Day"!
Ze Frank summarizes some of his work in this TED talk. The two best parts are the Ray story and the last piece on "Hey, you're okay"
Of course, you should have fun everyday and not just Friday!
What are you going to do to have fun today?
Note: email subscribers will need to click through to Franklin Matters to view this video

Story Walk: "The Curious Garden"
The book you read on the Story Walk is "The Curious Garden" by Peter Brown.
"The Curious Garden" was inspired by what developed in New York City. An elevated railroad freight line was discontinued, fell into disarray, was re-discovered and became a park with some grass roots efforts instead of being demolished.
http://www.thehighline.org/
I had heard about the park via the Renegade Cabaret performances that started as the park began to open. Elizabeth Soychek lived in a 4th floor apartment with a fire escape that overlooked the High Line Park. She was inspired to sign and entertain the walkers along the path. Opening night of the "Renegade Cabaret" was recorded for replay:
Some folks in Franklin are looking to create a community garden. You can find more information about this local group on their website http://www.franklincommunitygardens.org/

"The Curious Garden" was inspired by what developed in New York City. An elevated railroad freight line was discontinued, fell into disarray, was re-discovered and became a park with some grass roots efforts instead of being demolished.
The High Line was built in the 1930s, as part of a massive public-private infrastructure project called the West Side Improvement. It lifted freight traffic 30 feet in the air, removing dangerous trains from the streets of Manhattan's largest industrial district. No trains have run on the High Line since 1980. Friends of the High Line, a community-based non-profit group, formed in 1999 when the historic structure was under threat of demolition. Friends of the High Line works in partnership with the City of New York to preserve and maintain the structure as an elevated public park.You can find out all about the High Line Park on their website

Franklin won't have to go as far
Bostonians who crave locally brewed Red Barn Coffee now have to look a bit harder or walk a bit farther to get a cup of their favorite java.
Fortunately, Franklinites don't have to go far to get Red Barn. This is the coffee served by Cafe Dolce!
