		<title>Winter Garden&#8217;s Stylin Bike Racks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They might seem slightly cartoonish, but I do love these bike racks in Downtown Winter Garden. Being that the West Orange Trail and therefore biking are, quite literally, central to this community, I think the racks are highly appropriate. Besides it&#8217;s nice to see artwork and style in public amenities.]]></description>

		<title>Good Place Clue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One measurement I use to define a good place (composed of great placemaking elements) is the distance I am willing to park my car from my destination. At my grocery store or any strip retail center, I park as close to the door as possible. If I see someone leaving, I will even wait for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Identifying A Problematic Local Intersection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You may know how I fret over the intersection of Overstreet Road and County Road 535 as it is the connection between our neighborhood school, Sunset Park Elementary, and the residents of 1500 homes zoned for it.
