City Junto is

Mostly a blog about Philadelphia, but maybe other urban places as well. City politics, city people, city streets. Your host is Patrick Kerkstra, a freelance journalist. For the time being, most posts (like pretty much all) are reprints of columns and stories I've written various publications. Maybe someday it will be more bloggish. Also, Junto means this.
