The is the introduction before playing the TED video

This is the inaugural event in an ongoing free series of opportunities to share ideas during lunch time

You know that old eyesore that's languishing around the corner for the better part of ten years?  What if you could change it overnight?  How can we drive change in our communities and move past stagnant committees and outdated regulation?  In this funny, smart energetic and breathless talk, arts activist Jason Roberts of Better Block encourages us to stop waiting around.  Even if that means painting in our own crosswalks and blackmailing ourselves into action. 

Join us for a special screening of this talk, followed by a panel discussion featuring agents of change from our own community:
