Lest all our fancy bloggin' fool you, Seven Days still produces an old-fashioned newspaper. Here's a look at this week's stories that might interest you news and politics junkies:
- Kevin J. Kelley interviews Peter Owens, the new head of CEDO in Burlington. Developers are wary of Burlington's byzantine bureaucracy — can Owens lure them back to the Queen City?
- Ever notice the conspicuous number of empty storefronts in downtown Montpelier? They might not be around much longer, and the name behind the new business push might be surprising.
- Wind developments have finally made it to Chittenden County. True to Vermont form, the four-turbine project atop Georgia Mountain is rankling the neighbors.
- At the University of Vermont, the new dean of the College of Arts and Sciences is bringing psychology savvy to UVM's largest school. He arrives from Texas A&M.
- Amy Lilly reviews a new book by Vermont author Garret Keizer that poses the question: What's happening to privacy in modern society?
