CITY SHIPS
As humankind evolves, we find our coastal cities growing unevenly, growing a divide between those with and without --- creating dysfunction, inequality, and a struggle to find affordable housing.
Once the bustling heartbeat of coastal cities, many piers have long since been abandoned - the attached land void of economic value. Yet the surrounding neighborhoods remain unaffordable.
Now imagine there was a solution to close this gap.
A solution that breathed new life into the coast, bringing opportunities to those who struggle. A solution that made use of these abandoned piers, turning them back into the bastions of hope and growth they used to be.
Imagine what that would look like. Imagine, a cruise ship turned into a sustainable living community.
The cruise industry is changing, just as the world around us is changing.
Massive, thousand-cabin cruise ships, once the epicenter of leisure and luxury, are now retiring.
Now imagine if we dock retiring cruise ships at abandoned piers and turn them into long-term residences, where affordable housing meets urban innovation, creating communities ripe with opportunities.
This is the solution. This is CityShips.
For some, the word imagine means the impossible,
to dream of something out of reach -
unreal -
But at CityShips, we are making the imaginable possible.
Like the idea of integrating cruise ships into city living, accelerating a solution to the affordable housing shortage.
A solution that gives back to the city and to the business owners following their dreams, to the artists following their passions, to the people who just need a fresh start.
A solution that helps the underprivileged, the elderly, the displaced, and the children of the new millennia.
Imagine a city-ship that provides everything a community needs to live, learn, work, play and grow.
Apartments and grocery stores
Coffee shops and spas
Gym facilities and pools
Event spaces, offices, classrooms and more
A place where you can have an affordable home and an equal opportunity to rebuild yourself, your relationships, and your future..

Imagine the reality

DHH
While wearing face coverings is essential to help slow the spread of COVID-19, literal
barriers are being created for our Deaf and hard of hearing neighbors, or DHH.
DHH community members are finding it extremely difficult to interact, convey and most
importantly, understand the world around them, especially in hospitals, clinics, and other
businesses where communication is very important.
Though not all DHH individuals are fluent in lip reading, it has become nearly impossible in
a public setting because masks and physical distancing restricts their ability to
communicate, while using and sharing pens or pencils for note taking puts them at
increased risk.
But there are ways that we can all help.
We can use hand gestures to help bridge the gap,
Or we can use clear face shields to help the DHH community read body language and
facial expressions.
Phone apps can be used to create visual notes and the use of personal writing devices
like dry erase boards help lower the risk of catching or spreading the virus.
No matter how uncertain
No matter how unprecedented
We must never forget that we are a community and we are in this together.

And that is the same for our meals
Because at JETBOIL we believe that if its worth doing
Its worth doing well.
JETBOIL - The end of the trail is just the beginning

SAMARITAN COUNSELING CENTER | BE GREAT
The day has finally arrived
The day we have been waiting for -
The day we have been training for -
The day we were born for.
Its on days like this that heroes are born-
That underdogs rise up,
And that legacies are cemented in history.
In field of competitors where everyone has a chance-
A hope -
A dream to become great - this day brings out the best in us all.
You can see it in their eyes -
Hear it in the air
And feel it as the rumble of the race echoes from Hough street to Dundee road and beyond -
Faster - stronger - and more powerful than our wildest dreams.
As every spec of dirt is flung from the hooves of a pack destined for victory,
Only one will capture that moment -
The day has finally arrived -
The day you have been waiting for -
Are you ready to be great?

TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING | FIAT | TV 0:30
MUSIC: “The Times They Are A Changin’” performed by Flogging Molly
VIDEO DESCRIPTION: We start with black and white images of the origin of the automobile (i.e. the Model T). The images will quickly proceed to show automobiles from each generation. Extremely large, “boats,” classic etc.
As the generations go by we transition from black and white to color, making our way into the 80’s and 90’s. The progression shows the gradual decrease in the size of the automobile.
VO: With all due respect, some things never change.
All leading up to the “New World Driver” zooming around a city, landscape, and interstate in a brand new 2015 FIAT.
