Need help with a definition
I’m such a nerd... I’m already planning a fanfiction author themed Christmas tree (my brain works really weird when I’m supposed to be updating my WIPs...) and will be making decoupage ornaments with aesthetics for writing and the aesthetics for my fics. I’m all about themed Christmas trees (my daughter thinks I’m crazy for putting up 5 or more trees throughout the house but my cats absolutely love it).
Anyway, I’m going to create an aesthetic for “URBANOLOGIST” but I need help coming up with a definition. A while back I’d seen a post (I think I shared it, too) about Urbanologists.

On the Corner: Clark and Van Buren by Max Grinnell
"On the Corner" is a new series on Chicago Architect Online, written by Max Grinnell, aka the Urbanologist. (Follow him on Twitter @theurbanologist.)
Grinnell is a professor of urban studies and writer, public speaker and proponent of all things urban. “On the Corner” features Grinnell’s take on iconic Chicago corners, examining the interaction between architecture, public space and the Chicagoans who bring these intersections to life.
Commerce, Incarceration and More
Any intersection in Chicago presents a wealth of opportunities for interaction with the built environment and the people passing by. Maybe you'll make a new friend, hear a curious sound, or catch a glimpse of an architectural ornamentation that strikes your fancy.
The South Loop is one of my favorite neighborhoods in the city and I find myself at the intersection of Clark and Van Buren as a matter of habit and intense curiosity. It has commerce that is both frenetic (the headquarters of CBOE, nee CBOT), laid back (submarine sandwiches), government functionalism, and a rather well-known site of incarceration.
Editors Interviewed by Urbanologist
The great Karl Grinnell of Urbanologist has posted his interview with co-editors Paul Durica and Bill Savage. Dig it. And watch for new post re: advertising for Chicago by Day and Night back in 1892/93. His great headline: "The Only Guidebook to Chicago in the 1890s You'll Ever Need."
