How to better alert potential readers about area readings & lectures

Submitted by Jon Garfunkel on March 8, 2009

Every so often I peruse the local readings list in the Boston Phoenix to get a sense of what readings are in town. It lists the title, author, time, location. Simple enough, but I then generally Google the book to see what the heck it's about.

Rallying for a Neighbor (from the Brookline Tab)

Submitted by Jon Garfunkel on April 22, 2004
Today the Brookline TAB, our weekly town newspaper, published my piece Rallying for a Neighbor as a guest column. This was a vast reworking of the piece on Yang Jianli of several weeks back. I met Dr. Yang's wife, Christina Fu, in preparing this story, and we had a nice chat about the neighborhood and about activism and such. I rewrote the piece a couple of times, and settled on a theme of zoning. Our neighborhood retails shops are zoned for commerce, and we customers are "zoned" for commerce as well when we do business there. All in all, it was a nice exercise in writing, editing, and cutting.
