NEW BACK ALLEYS The urban alley was once a ubiquitous part of the American landscape.

CAST GLASS CENTERPIECE Take a spicy mixture of the visual and performing arts; add a wide range of support from university, government and civic sources; cover with an unusual application of glass and stir; serves 250,000. That's the "recipe" for the Shaw Center for the Arts, which Baton Rouge, Louisiana is counting on to lift its civic profile.
