Cooltown Studios Digs Buffalo Rising Online
Cooltown Studios (based in Washington, DC) designs and invests in next gen urban neighborhoods. They link 40$M in investment capital with proven, innovative developers who want to set a new standard for quality and innovation in real estate development.
Cooltownis founding director, Neil Takemoto, publishes a popular New Urbanist blog that's a great resource for innovative ideas about what folks are doing to "attract creative, entrepreneurial markets that significantly increase quality of life and local economic development."
And Neil digs Buffalo Rising Online. He writes, in part:

Oeif you want nice, brief, crisp profiles on the creative and progressive, then having it organized by food and drink; housing developments; free stuff; music; shopping etc. with compelling color photos to match, then Buffalo Rising is the model.
Think wikipedia + photo gallery + local entertainment guide.
