Jane Jacobs' House

One of our area's claims to fame is that urban planning guru Jane Jacobs lived here.

She lived on my stretch of street and I liked her ideas, so I mourned her passing.

I always wondered who bought her house, too.

And here's the answer.

I'm so happy that it's somebody who appreciated her legacy.

When A Place Gets Boring...

Found an interesting online article in The Atlantic by Richard Florida that mentions The Annex.

He quotes something that Jane Jacobs told him that I haven't seen printed elsewhere and that I quite like:

"Well, Richard, you must understand: when a place gets boring, even the rich people leave."
Happy reading,
