The @thephilacitizen has a new newsletter on how the era of Black political power in Philadelphia has done nothing to grow the *relative* wealth of the black middle class. This point needs to be contextualized, and I'd like to go through why their "solutions" don't work. 1/x

Happy Second Anniversary of no full service bus station in Philadelphia. inquirer.com/transportation/…

Taste Taco Bar will soon fill in the former Jon’s space at 3rd & South. Glad that this corner spot will have a new concept after closing in 2018 (!). This is from the same team that opened Taste Cheesesteak Bar in Center City.
