By Josh Bolinger August 14, 2014. The Value of City Events. It was a sunny day in June when someone walked into the office and said, I just saw Tony Hawk skateboarding down the sidewalk. The X Games were in Austin. Unfortunately, municipal economics doesn’t really work that way.

By Josh Bolinger January 11, 2012. The End of Big Ideas? Has America lost its ambition for big ideas? Even in science, with research grants, the idea of pure research, discovery for its own sake, is dismissed contemptuously, and voices in our government push daily for a grant process that judges research spending from day one with the question, will this turn a profit?

By Josh Bolinger April 4, 2012. The big water issue. Water is one of the biggest things we as Americans take for granted. I think most of us dont realize just how much water we use and how important it is to our daily habits. Its a part of nearly everything we do, from eating, washing, cleaning and of course drinking.

By Josh Bolinger February 24, 2012. Why Travel is Essential to Learning. Travel is a life-changing experience. While my opportunity to see and live in other countries was very eye-opening, even traveling to another state within the US can do wonders for perspective.
