I knew the economy was doing better when I was run off the sidewalk by a bike messenger yesterday afternoon. There haven’t been too many of them in Philadelphia for the past year or two, and, even back then, few had such reckless urgency.
Maybe this city’s on the cusp of some sort of economic revival. Hope so.
Of course, it won’t be easy. Willard Rouse, who died this morning, won’t be here to get things going again in real estate. He will be missed.
I’m meeting with Bill Tomaselli in an hour. High hopes, low expectations. Remember, it’s for a good cause.
