The Irvine Progressive That Isn’t
by director on Jun.01, 2009, under Media
It always seemed unsustainable, the idea of a progressive voice for Irvine, California. If you’ve ever been to Irvine, you know what I mean.
Irvine isn’t so much a place as a collection of almost places. Glass towers are circled by streets that lead to streets that never really get to anywhere, and before you know it, you’re out of Irvine, and into another ill-defined Southern California Communitee(TM). There are places in Irvine where it’s actually illegal to cross the street.
Yet, while it lasted, IrvineProgressive.com was a strong voice for progressive interests, coming right out of Irvine, California.
IrvineProgressive is now gone. Although you can still visit the domain, it’s just a place filler that sells real estate and cosmetic dental services. The holder of the domain name is hoping to sell it at a premium price. I’m betting that they don’t have any takers for a long, long time.
