One ray of optimism shines through today's Daily News (yeah, the one with the skull on the cover). In this op-ed, Manayunk resident/New York commuter Bob Hughes implores the city to throw its cap over the wall:
I think the real question boils down to this: Why does it take Olympic dreams to give this city the overarching direction it desperately needs?
...
The Olympic quest is a noble and worthy cause for the city, but I don't think we should wait for it to improve the region. I've had enough of New York, and I want to give back to my town, but I want to do it right - as do thousands of people like me.
...as, I hope, do the folks on the Philadelphia 2016 Board as I wrote here.
Can the next mayor sustain this energy and civic engagement regardless of Philly's Olympic status? One can only hope.
