The trip gave us a chance to see in person this example of new urbanism in a rural setting. With Tim Cassidy's detailed, critical, and humorous eye, we walked from one end of the development to the other and back again, paying attention to the design of streets, open space, and houses constructed during different stages of the project.
Take a look at the photos on this page and, for those of you who were able to make it, add a few notes in the Comments section below describing some of the interesting and surprising things you learned.
