Everyday. The invisible-- mental, emotional, psychic-- labor for justice and equity is vast. It is relentless in present form. It takes a toll, individually and collectively. Why is decades of work still greeted as new, illegible, or even fearsome in so much of planning and governance? What does it mean to be on the front lines-- at home-- for tangible transformation and social change? At what cost? To whom? Thank you Deya.

Absolutely right. A major reason for the 1920’s peak is the second National Infrastructure Bank which took the initiative to make PA the center of manufacturing. Now is the time for the US to work on HR 4052 for the creation of the fifth National Infrastructure Bank. Let’s get it done; check out nibcoalition.com. #nationalinfrastructurebank

In 1913, the Lincoln Highway was established as the first road across the USA, marking a significant milestone in the nation's history of transportation. This ambitious project aimed to connect New York City to San Francisco, covering approximately 3,389 miles across the heart of America. The initiative was spearheaded by the Lincoln Highway Association, which was founded on July 1, 1913. The association's vision was to create a continuous, improved road across the country, promoting the idea that good roads could unite the nation. The route passed through 13 states: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California. Despite the lack of federal funding, the project received widespread support from communities along the route, who saw the potential for economic growth and increased accessibility. The Lincoln Highway became a symbol of American progress and innovation, influencing the development of the national road system and paving the way for future highway projects. Today, the Lincoln Highway serves as a nostalgic route that offers a glimpse into early 20th-century America, attracting travelers interested in the country's historical and cultural heritage. #milestonesinhistory #automotivehistory #LincolnHighway #AmericanInnovation #NationUnite #RoadAcrossAmerica #CulturalHeritage #EconomicGrowth

Indiana-based Old National Bank to buy MN-based Bremer Bank in a $1.40B deal, expanding their MN, ND, and WI footprint considerably. Also, a $400 million capital raise will be executed by Old National to support the growth. Upon the closing of the deal, Bremer ($16B in assets) will be absorbed into ONB (currently $54B), which will become a $70B+ financial institution - and within the top 45 largest in the US. This is not a total surprise, as in recent weeks, it was widely reported that Bremer was looking for a suitor, having hired financial advisors to seek a sale. #communitybanking #mergersandacquisitions

We are excited to announce a partnership with St. Paul, Minnesota-based Bremer Bank. Combining the two organizations will strengthen our presence in the Twin Cities and Wisconsin while introducing Old National to several other vibrant communities in the Upper Midwest. “This partnership represents an outstanding cultural and strategic fit, and I’m confident that Bremer and Old National will be better – and stronger – together,” said Old National CEO Jim Ryan. “When you look at what has made Bremer a leading institution since 1943, you quickly notice the same strategic principles and cultural priorities that have guided Old National’s success for 190 years.” https://lnkd.in/gE-BeNQd

The Meridian Rock Nestled in the pathway within Meridian Port Services Ltd (MPS), stands a symbolic rock marking the Greenwich Meridian—the world’s prime meridian for both longitude and time. Established by international agreement in 1884, the Greenwich Meridian represents zero degrees longitude, forming the basis for global navigation and timekeeping. This prime meridian line, running from the North to the South Pole, divides the Eastern Hemisphere from the Western. At MPS Container Terminal, the meridian line (0°00'00.00"E/W) crosses our terminal, entering from the northern boundary (5°37'35.15"N) and extending to the coastline (5°37'29.75"N), where it reaches one of the closest points on Earth to the “Center of the World,” where the Greenwich Meridian (zero degrees longitude) intersects with the Equator (zero degrees latitude). Inspiration from the CEO of MPS: “At Meridian Port Services Ltd, EAST MEETS WEST.” https://lnkd.in/e-V4iByb
