Location Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
Introduction I've been scribbling for more than 30 years, mostly in journalism and its hired-gun cousin, public relations. Currently, I'm Editor-in-Chief of the Philadelphia Real Estate Blog, sponsored by Noah Ostroff and Associates. In my history: launching award-winning newspapers at the University of Pennsylvania and Widener University. Personally, I love to cook and eat, I'm a big ol' traingeek, and I'm a fan of architecture, cities, and jazz, among other things. I also enjoy good conversation and long walks.
