The MC Architect

Hi!  I'm the MC Architect (MC standing for my hometown, Michigan City).  I am an architecture student at Ball State University.  Though I'm only a second year, I have learned much and am taking an interest in those things around me and seek ways to make them better or maybe make new things that people will enjoy.

Why the MC Architect?  Though I don't get a chance to go home a lot, when I do I always go looking around Michigan City for things of interest.  Whether it be something new or something old, there's something to examine in Michigan City.  My goal with this blog is to find things in Michigan City that people can think about, examine and use as examples to create a better, more vibrant town.

Those living in Michigan City know what it's like there, but may not necessarily look closely at or care about their town.  My hopes with this blog is to show people what is good, what is not and what can be improved and exploited to create a stronger Michigan City.

Michigan City, you are a town of potential.  You don't see it, because for years you've accepted it as is, but it is there.  Take hold of your potential!  Look where you haven't looked, see what you haven't seen and look at the possibility in what is there!

Over the next few months I plan on posting after I visit Michigan City and over the summer 2 to 3 times a week.  What I will post are pictures, comments and ideas involving Michigan City.  Don't expect much prior to April 22, though, as I have the Indiana Concrete Masonry Association competition to work on.
