This pic of my “66 Mustang Convertible from summer car shows remind me how enduring design still attracts and connects people. And I’m noting how my hobby interest relates to and inspires professional involvement with streetscapes and civic spaces. Whether local car show, Municipal Design Review Network event, or Scenic Illinois advocacy, design engages people, links generations, and reflects what we value.

Many around town know me as owner of this Mustang convertible. And after remarking about “what year“ (1966), people often ask about the SCENIC antique plate.
