Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have bolted Pennsylvania for now, but one of them will be back in the fall. When they do return, they will be pressed to address urban issues that Philadelphians face, in detail. A first attempt to get the candidates’ views on urban policy took place on April 17 at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. The event, “Urban Policy and the Presidency,” was co-sponsored by the Penn Institute for Urban Research and Next American City Magazine.

Describe Next American City in seven words or less.
Jeffrey Hill | Tue, Feb 26, 2008 | Tags: jeffrey hill, hayley richardson, sentimental city, accessibility, dynamic, walnut street, interaction, veterans stadium, sausage cart, seven words or less | 1
Does the Next American City include the sausage cart down the street? I hope so. I also hope it includes the girls who walk down Walnut St. off the speed line. I’d take the girls over the buildings any day. A lot of us would, because we’re human beings. We’re dirty. We smell bad. We forget to shower and we live in a city, stinking together.
At the Next American City, there has been discussion of tag lines, an identity for our cause and a place to fit in. I think of NAC as the…

The first thing you will notice is that we’re no longer The Next American City. We’re simply Next American City. We figured…

Who’s that girl? A search for the cover model
John Reinhardt | Wed, Oct 17, 2007 | Tags: john reinhardt, facebook, cover model, search for model | 0
You’ve see her face, haunting and innocent, staring at you when you get the morning dirt. She’s watching you on Facebook, when you check for the latest events. Perhaps you’ve even shared a sandwich at work or cuddled up on a rainy weekend (our latest survey showed that 26% of you read the magazine during lunch, while 34% read it on weekends).
Here she is:
Now we want to know who she is. Stock images are great, but they often don’t tell the whole story.

TNAC seeks bloggers. Lots of them. From everywhere
Matt Stroud | Thu, Oct 11, 2007 | Tags: bloggers | 0

This gig pays very little, but it could provide a young and/or ambitious writer/personality with a beat, and a way to establish voice/camaraderie with a national publication (us).
If you’re interested, please e-mail clips and a little about yourself to this address: Matt [at] americancity [dot] org

Trends: Hipsters migrating to Staten Island
Where there’s cheap real estate, there’s a hipster, judging by the bohemian-style renaissance taking place in the once forgotten borough.
New technology pinpoints location of gunshots
Several cities, including violence-plagued Newark, are adopting Shotspotter, a system that enables police to pinpoint the coordinates of a shot being fired within seconds, thereby decreasing response time.
