Big Events Like the Olympics Matter — Just Not the Way You Think
One of my favorite books about city-making is Dan Doctoroff’s account of his years as deputy mayor of New York City, Greater Than Ever. The book chronicles New York’s post-9/11 transformation, which was catalyzed in no small part by Doctoroff’s quest to host the 2012 Olympics there. The creation of Hudson Yards in Midtown Manhattan, Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn, new stadiums for the Yankees and Mets, and more all came out of efforts for the ultimately doomed bid.

Simon’s Heart Conshohocken Bike Race Day – August 18th
We are about a month and a half away from what is hopefully the first annual Simon’s Heart Criterium Bike Race in Conshohocken. Without seeing the map and before I talked to the organizers, I thought it was a long distance race that would be passing through Conshohocken similar to the way the bike race would go through Philadelphia and come through Manyunk. You know Conshohocken has plenty of hills that could have been a tough stretch of a larger race. As it turns out, the entire race takes place in Conshohocken in a somewhat small footprint.
