Repurposing our Cities For Peak Oil

Kriscan tours Troy, NY, where she speaks with Duncan Crary, host of the audio program, Kunstlercast. They walk around neighborhoods pointing out various aspects of the original cityscape that weren't replaced by box stores, therefore retaining its ability to be a city in a future of less oil.

It's a mullet. Haha.

you nailed it - it is a mullet. i love a femullet.

I love Kris but I would like to see her get a good haircut. She looks like an evil baby sitting charge got a hold of the scissors and wrecked her mane. Even in the nightmare that is picture day for every awkward middle school aged boy, it doesn't get this bad.

thanks for the comment, rachael. you know, hair can get complicated. you get it cut, it grows out, you cut it again and then there's that in between stage that sucks. sometimes i live in that in between stage more often than not. i try to get the cool haircut when i can, but hollywood hasn't called to help me out yet. also, i like the crazy wig look every once in a while. it makes me laugh. at myself!

A great, informational video. My only question is, where in New York is food grown in winter to sustain a winter farmer's market? What is sold there in the winter?

Wow. Duncan sounds so much like Jim Kunstler here... I can hear JHK's voice.

Still, I enjoyed it. These two have so much in common, I think

Dude, her 'do is a punk thing, you wouldn't understand. Besides, who cares what her hair looks like, looks aren't everything. Her fun loving personality and smile are what make her hot in my book.

Keep up the awesome vids Kris!
