The Impact of Interesting Topics + Speakers - Conversation Starters!
Wasn’t last week’s speaker amazing? After the meeting, I called my sister in Pittsburgh to chat about WJE’s Richard Walther’s talk. You may or may not know Pittsburgh is “affectionately known as the “City of Bridges,” with 446 bridges – more than any other city in the world, including Venice, Italy” according to the Heinz History Center (yes -as in ketchup….). Pittsburgh is a fascinating place to visit. Besides being home to Heinz, and the Andy Warhol Museum, it’s a fun place to drive around in– because you will see and drive over many bridges.
On Friday – the infrastructure need was tragically illustrated by a collapse of the Fern Hollow Creek bridge in Frick Park. I don’t know if WJE will be called in – but it was fascinating to learn about their projects and skills. If you missed it, or want to know more about WJE projects check out their site project pages:
Frankly, after that meeting – I took walking across the Golden Gate Bridge off my bucket list!!
Point being – never miss our fascinating speakers – you never know what you will find out!
Next up on February 1st is Kathryn Ciesla, Northbrook Village President. Kathryn will update us on the State of the Village.
