Salon takes a look today


Friday, April 11, 2008

richardfloridanewbook411.jpgSalon takes a look today at economist Richard Florida's latest, "Who's Your City? How the Creative Economy Is Making Where to Live the Most Important Decision of Your Life". What I learned: nightlife is now considered "cultural capital"; Florida's attempt at coining a new term, "spikiness," to describe the clustering of people in particular locations, is as awkward as Mean Girl Gretchen's failure with "fetch!"; and the tri-state area is full of neurotics (wait... I could have told you that one!). [Salon]
