I meant to mention (as Inga did in her column) that the Inquirer and the University of Pennsylvania have received the Waterfront Center's prestigious Clearwater Award for their actions regarding development of Penn's Landing.
From the Center's website:
Quote:
The "Clearwater Award" recognizes the outstanding efforts of an individual or individuals, or by non-profit citizen's organizations, working at the grassroots level for the betterment of their community and its waterfront. Citizen's river cleanup efforts, educational work by organizations to acquaint citizens with urban waterfront environment or history, enterprising artistic and cultural initiatives, or pioneering citizen planning projects are suggestive of the type of voluntary effort the Waterfront Center wishes to recognize.
The award is named for the Clearwater organization that has worked for years to clean up the Hudson River in New York. The grassroots group's program led by Pete Seeger includes environmental education, advocacy and an annual River Revival Festival.

A well-deserved congratulations!
