Panethos<p><strong>Abutting cities that really should&nbsp;merge</strong></p><p>In these days of tight budgets, regional competition, and occasional regional cooperation, it seems appropriate that some adjoining cities should seriously consider merging. Being codependent whether they want to admit that or not, merging can give these separate cities more prestige and power as a unified force. </p><p>For example, merging Lafayette and West Lafayette, Indiana would instantly create the third most populous city in the State of Indiana. While right now the area only has direct flights to Chicago O’Hare, as the third most populous city, Greater Lafayette could potentially attract flights to other Midwest hubs like Detroit and St. Louis. In other cases, a larger population can be attractive to businesses considering a local expansion or relocation to the area.</p><p>Largest cities in Indiana in 2025 per <a href="https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-cities/indiana" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">World Population Review</a>:</p><ol><li>Indianapolis = 874,037</li></ol><p>2. Fort Wayne = 273,736</p><p>3. Greater Lafayette (if Lafayette and West Lafayette merged) = 116,510</p><p>4. Evansville = 113,971</p><p>Lansing and East Lansing would also jump into third place in Michigan if they merged giving the area more economic and political clout. Bloomington-Normal would become the sixth largest in Illinois just ahead of Peoria-East Peoria in seventh if they were combined. In Colorado, Pueblo would leap from 10th to 7th place in the state if it and Pueblo West were unified. </p><p>Merging is something the communities listed below along with their citizens, civic and political leaders, as well as chambers of commerce should seriously consider. There are likely many other examples across the country. The easiest cases could potentially be those cities where one of the two does not have a strong and distinct central business district nor a long history as an independent community – Pueblo West, Prescott Valley, and Spokane Valleys being three examples from the list below.</p><p>Food for thought for those who feel streamlining government and services is beneficial and for those who advocate for their community to become a state, regional, or national leader. Whether political turf battles would allow such steps to ever happen is the great unknown. </p><p>Peace!</p><p>——-</p> Source: maps.google.com <p>Lafayette-West Lafayette, Indiana into<strong> Greater Lafayette</strong> </p><p>Lansing-East Lansing, Michigan into <strong>Greater Lansing</strong> </p><p>Bloomington-Normal, Illinois into <strong>Greater Bloomington</strong></p><p>Pueblo-Pueblo West, Colorado into solely <strong>Pueblo</strong></p><p>Prescott-Prescott Valley, Arizona into <strong>Greater Prescott</strong></p><p>Spokane-Spokane Valley, Washington into solely <strong>Spokane</strong></p><p>Tuscaloosa-Northport, Alabama into solely <strong>Tuscaloosa</strong></p><p>Little Rock-North Little Rock, Arkansas into solely <strong>Little Rock</strong></p><p>Peoria-East Peoria, Illinois into solely <strong>Peoria</strong></p><p>Las Vegas-North Las Vegas, Nevada into solely <strong>Las Vegas</strong></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/cities/" target="_blank">#cities</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/civics/" target="_blank">#civics</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/geography/" target="_blank">#geography</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/government/" target="_blank">#government</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/history/" target="_blank">#history</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/land-use/" target="_blank">#landUse</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/mergers/" target="_blank">#mergers</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/planning/" target="_blank">#planning</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/politics/" target="_blank">#politics</a></p>
Panethos<p><strong>An alleyway of hope towards community&nbsp;healing</strong></p><p>Sadly in the United States, racism and bigotry are hardly a new thing. No matter how much we want to deny it, this country was largely born of racism and far too many of our fellow citizens continue to practice it on a daily basis. </p> Alley before – Source: patronicity.com Ohki Alley now Source: patronicity.com <p>That’s why it was so refreshing and rewarding to recently stumble upon a revitalized alleyway in small Indiana town that is attempting to right a terrible past wrong, while also adding walkable placemaking feature for the community.</p> Source: indianahistory.org <p>The <a href="https://www.patronicity.com/project/ohki_alley#!/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Ohki Alley</a> in downtown <a href="https://columbiacity.net/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Columbia City, Indiana</a> is located directly across from the Whitley County Courthouse. This narrow alley honors Shinzo Ohki, a Japanese immigrant to the area who built a thriving soy sauce business (<a href="https://indianahistory.org/blog/the-show-you-sauce-of-columbia-city/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Show-You Sauce</a>), but who also felt the sting of bigotry during World War II (see below).</p><blockquote><p>“A Kind and Gentle Man”</p><p>“I first met Shinzo Ohki in the early summer of 1942. My family had moved to 203 Brownwood Avenue in Columbia City and the Ohki’s were neighbors. I was about 9 years old at the time.</p><p>My brother, Harrison, and I developed a neighborhood business of mowing lawns, doing yard work and general odd jobs as needed. We had a good summer business of about eight or nine customers for walk and driveway snow shoveling, plus stacking wood. In those days, many home owners burned wood in the dwelling heating system. The truck from Morsches Lumber Company would dump a load of wood at the curb and it was the property owners responsibility to handle it. Our job was to toss the wood, one piece at a time, in the basement window and then stack it neatly near the furnace. It was hard work but also steady work and good exercise.</p><p>As I became better acquainted with Mr. Ohki, I also got to know his wife and daughter. They were all soft spoken and gentle people. They also were very interested in you and your welfare.</p><p>Mr. Ohki’s daughter, Grace, was in college at the time and a talented musician and world-class clarinet player. I remember her as Paid Advertisement<br>a beautiful young lady who was always asking me about school and any plans I had.</p><p>Here we must remember the time frame. It was the early 1940s and World War II was just getting going.</p><p>My brother and I were very much enjoying our relationship with the Ohki family. Shinzo always talked with us and always overpaid us.</p><p>One summer day, after we had finished our work, Mr. Ohki came and paid us $10.00 each the usual amount for the weekly job was about $1.00 a piece. He was very soft-spoken, as usual, but not so cheerful that day. He said “You boys won’t be able to work for me anymore. It will be bad for you and your family if you do. I want you to tell your mother and dad everything I say and they will explain it.” He turned and quietly and quickly left. I think he was crying.</p><p>We started to cry as we walked home, thinking we had been fired from our job. We did as Shinzo had asked and told our folks everything he had said. They explained that others in our small town might bring grief to us for associating with a Japanese family a mystery to me at the time but well understood in later years.</p><p>True to his nature, Mr. Ohki was more concerned for our welfare than for his own.</p><p>My memory of him has not changed or dimmed over these past almost eighty years. He was indeed a kind and gentle man.”</p><p>Source: <a href="https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=228160" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=228160</a></p></blockquote> <p>The alley is adorned with tables and chairs, flowers, lighting, murals, and several historic markers about Mr. Ohki’s life. There is even a tiny ice cream shop (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/people/Alley-Scoops-Ice-Cream/61577026868487/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Alley Scoops</a>) tucked into a doorway pocket along the corridor. The alley revitalization project was completed in 2020.</p> <p>In today’s cantankerous environment, this little alleyway of hope is a charming breath of fresh air, both as a symbol of how to heal past sins, but also as a method for knitting the community back together physically with a wonderful placemaking featuring in the heart of downtown. And whenever you can successfully achieve two goals with a single project, that’s certainly a win-win situation. Kudos to a job well done, Columbia City.</p><p>Peace!</p><p><strong>p.s.</strong> On this 80 anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan (today), this post about healing seems particularly appropriate. May humanity find lasting peace so that such brutal consequences of war never happen again. </p> <p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/alley/" target="_blank">#alley</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/cities/" target="_blank">#cities</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/columbia-city/" target="_blank">#ColumbiaCity</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/food/" target="_blank">#food</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/fun/" target="_blank">#fun</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/history/" target="_blank">#history</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/ice-cream/" target="_blank">#iceCream</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/indiana/" target="_blank">#Indiana</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/japan/" target="_blank">#Japan</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/land-use/" target="_blank">#landUse</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/ohki-alley/" target="_blank">#OhkiAlley</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/planning/" target="_blank">#planning</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/preservation/" target="_blank">#preservation</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/revitalization/" target="_blank">#revitalization</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/third-places/" target="_blank">#ThirdPlaces</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/tourism/" target="_blank">#tourism</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://panethos.wordpress.com/tag/travel/" target="_blank">#travel</a></p>
