If you’re new to this, welcome! If you followed me from my previous blog, thanks!
I write about cities, but not the way most urbanists do in today’s world. I write from the perspective of growing up and working in Rust Belt cities in the middle of the country. I think there’s quite a bit to understand and learn about the rise and fall — and comeback — of the American manufacturing heartland, and it can inform the decisions that must be made for all cities.
I’m bringing along with me more than 800 articles written over the last 12 years in my archive. I invite you to check it out, agree or disagree with me, and offer your thoughts.
I have always enjoyed your content and perspectives. Keep up the good work!
