At our last Friday policy lunch, we had a fun wide-ranging discussion with PPA Executive Director Rich Lazer, and didn’t even know he was about to get hired to run PhilaPort. Bon voyage, Richie! We’re all looking forward to your next act.
This Friday, we’re excited to welcome Philadelphia Inquirer commercial real estate reporter Jake Blumgart, and Editorial Board member Daniel Pearson, whose Shackamaxon column frequently covers housing and development topics.
Thanks to our friends at Econsult Solutions for offering us their conference room this Friday, April 24th. Their office is at 1435 Walnut St, 4th floor, and we’ll be meeting from 12-1:30pm. We’ll have Primo’s hoagies for guests.
We thought this would be fun because you don’t often get to meet the people behind the news, and if you follow local development politics like us, you’re probably reading these people’s work multiple times a week. Jake said he filed 17 stories over the last 18 days! Come learn about how Jake and Daniel do their jobs, and their observations from following these issues closely over the years.
