'Brilliant Bus' shrinking digital divide


A great story featured on CNN Heroes about a farsighted and resourceful woman and program to help bridge the digital divide.  I have always thought that the building the Lake Worth CDC squatted in next to the Osborne Center for at least five years would have been an ideal place for just such a facility.  Instead, we endured the heavy weight of an inefficient organization that did little to help the community.  Now I hear it is under "re-organization."  What happened to all the land that organization was given by the city? When inquiring with staff about the status of that land, we get blank stares born from an overwhelming inventory of vacant houses in the city.

Meanwhile, back to the article, this is a great story and one that needs to be repeated often around the state and nation.  Click title for link.
