I already lost my other favorite blogger back in March (David Mills, the Undercover Black Man, who died unexpectedly while working on HBO's "Treme") and when in April you announced you would be moving to Philly I feared you would stop blogging too. Yours is a unique voice, and one of the only voices speaking on behalf of those of us here in the east MOCO. Thanks for all you have done by way of keeping us informed and helping to frame the debate on what goes on in east MOCO and MOCO at large.Dr. F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03113302161417376084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-55754531042902306912010-07-21T09:56:57.969-04:002010-07-21T09:56:57.969-04:00What a splendid house!

I, too, am just moving back to the area and into SS as you're moving away, and am starting a career-changing master's program in historic preservation. I've enjoyed following this blog as I planned both my move back here and my change of careers. I will look forward to your reports from Philly.Carinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06812963198439801851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-78111790272902650022010-07-21T09:37:15.017-04:002010-07-21T09:37:15.017-04:00@Dan,
It sounds like this was a blessing in disgu...@Dan,<br /><br />It sounds like this was a blessing in disguise. From reading your blog, it sounds like you'd be more interested in planning anyway. U Penn is also a fine school. <br /><br />I think you'll like Philly. There are many nice, walkable parts to the city. The DC area probably has more opportunities for future development and planning, but Philly has some older areas that are quite nice; the kind of areas that you don't see built much these days.<br /><br />I hope you keep up blogging. I've enjoyed the blog. Keep us updated on what you learn.<br /><br />Just as you're planning to move out of SS, I was planning to move back. I was looking to buy a place right around DTSS, but it looks like I'll be HOAed out because of my dog. Ah, life.<br /><br />Anyway, enjoy your time at U Penn. How long is your program? Good luck!Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12909573380308387800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-3033564133475893772010-07-20T08:24:23.559-04:002010-07-20T08:24:23.559-04:00Dan;

Philly is my home away from home (most of my relatives live in or around the city), but it pales in comparison to the DC area, and at times it can seem that Silver Spring has more city development stuff going on than the entire City of Philadelphia. I found myself following along just as closely to the Silver Spring/DC world as I did Philly's, and perhaps closer. It can even become the subject of many of your assignments since Silver Spring and DC are such fascinating urban subjects.Critically Urbanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18184976993311486195noreply@blogger.com
