My latest story for Philadelphia Neighborhoods, the senior capstone for Temple journalism students, is up on philadelphianeighborhoods.com. I looked at the revitalization of Kensington, and the struggle that continues despite signs of a recent comeback. Find it here.

The official launch of LaborPHL!
LaborPHL
I’m officially announcing my project focusing on labor in Philadelphia, LaborPHL. I’ve been working on aggregating news from around the region, as well as researching stats about labor, unions and the workforce, and exactly what the numbers mean for Philadelphia laborers. LaborPHL will cover anything and everything related to the workforce, unions and management/labor relations in Philadelphia.
Check it out each Sunday for Sunday Numbers, which highlights an interesting or unseen side of labor statistics. Follow it on Twitter, too, for up-to-the-minute updates and fun factoids.
