RTS was great when I was working at UF and living in the SW area. Now I live way up in NW and without a bus route :(

City of Gainesville Today is Day With(out) Art/World AIDS Day. We're commemorating the event at the Gainesville Solar Walk by covering the sculptures on NW 8th Ave (between 34th St. and 23rd St.). Imagine how bleak the world would be without art...

Day without running water or steady food, day without petroleum products, day without undocumented workers, day without fossil water irrigation, all these would affect many, many more people in a more profound way than art. Liberia has a great share of culture, art, music, but would you trade all those other things for that?

NO we wouldn't. However Art comes from the imagination and stimulates it. Once all those things you mentioned only existed in someone's imagination.

Realistically watch your children constantly, check ALL their candy before they touch it, go only to houses that you know, and THEN have a safe and happy Halloween. I used to let my children have parties instead of Trick or Treat. They liked this just as much.
