Economic Stimulus Money & New Cities?

Let there be no doubt that President Obama's economic stimulus package has gotten many USA entrepreneurs salivating about new job opportunities to be found in re-building the USA
infrastructure. As an imaginary hoboclown detective,I have travelled back in time to the 1700s and 1800s to see what the state of the art in city-construction was like.Did you know that horses once pulled rail cars or that the US government previously purchased shares in local Philadelphia banks to get the economy going?
You can travel back in time too and see how Philadelphia's streets were planned or how bridges ,
waterways were constructed with the technology of that time.Yes, in order to build the future, you should re-visit and understand the past !
Get into an authentic, documented, published and public domain book- designed time machine to get ideas from the past to make a buck today! Be thankful and read the following book by
