September 2004: Spacemaker Press announces publication of Preserving Modern Landscape Architecture II: Making Postwar Landscapes Visible. The book consists of essays developed from papers presented at a symposium at Wave Hill and Columbia University in 2002, including one regarding the SKA-prepared National Historic Landmark nomination presented at the symposium by Meg Storrow and John Kinsella. The book's editor, Charles Birnbaum, hailed that nomination and subsequent National Register listing as "a giant step for the recognition of modern landscapes".

Report from Evansville 

"At 7:00 p.m. last night I was on the Riverfront......it was a lovely night. There was no room to park at the Pagoda and the riverfront was packed with people. There was not an empty bench to be seen. People were sitting at the picnic tables in front of the Pagoda having drinks. There were old people, handicapped people, children, bicyclers, and dog walkers. There were almost as many people out there as were at the Evening on the River event last week. It was amazing".

Progress Report from the Evansville Parks and Recreation Department regarding the Evansville Pigeon Creek Greenway/Riverfront extensions currently nearing completion:

 

"The construction on the greenway has been phenomenal. We have received many compliments and accolades from the Convention & Visitors Bureau, Casino Aztar, and the public at large. You would not believe the response from the Convention and Visitors Bureau. Sod is being installed along the levee and the limestone pillars are being installed around the Museum. The concrete pavers have been installed in most areas...... the first layer of asphalt will connect Four Freedoms Memorial to the Museum next week. The section from the Sunset Park to the Museum was done two weeks ago".
