NPC Excutive Director
It’s A Wonderful Life is a 1946 classic film about a man George Bailey who gave up his personal dreams to help others in his community. The film depicts George at a moment of crisis where he is contemplating suicide until an unlikely guardian angel named Clarence Odbody intervenes. Clarence shows George what the world (and specifically his hometown Bedford Falls) would be like if George didn’t exist.
I recently took up that task of trying to imagine a world (Northside in this case) without the Northside Planning Council (NPC). Like Bedford Falls in It’s A Wonderful Life, it appears the Northside as we know it would be far less recognizable and less desirable without NPC’s work. It is very likely that without even realizing it, every Northside resident would notice the change personally…
