The first edition of our weekly news magazine we'll be in subscribers' hands and in select single-copy outlets today. To say we're excited would be a massive understatement.
The headline for our cover story says it all: Visions Of A World-Class Philadelphia. We wanted to assess the region's viability as a world-class spot. Writer Elissa Vallano interviewed a slew of key people - Ed Rendell, police commissioner Ramsey, Meryl Levitz, SEPTA's Joe Casey and more - for the first of two parts and the mood was uniform. Across the board, these leaders recognize the significant challenges (crime, struggling schools, labor issues), but believe the Philadelphia region is well-situated to ascend to the nation's elite.
There's more - lots more, too. We have a great look at the economic impact of the 2013 U.S. Open coming to the Merion Golf Club. The numbers are staggering, especially the amount of rent houses along the course will be able to demand the week of the tournament.
LinkedIn expert Donna Serdula shows executives how to ignoring that platform could hurt their image and their brand.
In politics, we dive into the stories of Montgomery County rising star Mike Gerber suddenly and quietly leaving Harrisburg at an inopportune time and the latest chapter in the sad, sad story of Bill DeWeese, whose bid to run for re-election while in prison is over.
There's more, lots more, in our first edition. Want a complimentary copy? Just drop an e-mail and we'll send one out. And stay tuned for next week's edition, which will include the second half of our "Visions Of A World-Class Philadelphia" and, if the early drafts are any indication, a wealth of other must-read material.
