[ArthurTHimmelman at aol.com]

Minneapolis might benefit from learning more  about how Baltimore is making 
significant progress on many quality of life  issues through an exciting 
partnership called the Baltimore Neighborhood  Indicators Alliance (BNIA). 
 
The BNIA describes itself as "a growing movement  of neighborhoods, city 
agencies, community organizations, businesses,  educational institutions, 
nonprofit organizations, residents and many more  working to promote the principle and 
practice of well-informed decision  making for neighborhood change toward 
strong neighborhoods, improved quality of  life, and a thriving city."
