A brief intro
I'll try to make this as easy as possible. I am a writer interested in new urbanism, material culture, city planning, the history/theory of urban form, and social web theory. I really like thoughtful music and thoughtful film. [+]-

Embrace the Chains
I wrote an essay for Grove Project, a Wilmington-based online publication, about the benefit of having chain store in Wilmington’s downtown corridor. Read the full article, Embrace the Chains, and tell me what you think. I’m also interested in other innovative economic developments for cities to encourage consumption, so if you have ideas/suggestions, this is the place to let me know.
