Amidst all the coursework, conventions on solar energy, seminars and certifications on energy efficiency, networking and trying to get a foothold in what seems to be an economic mudslide, I couldn't pass up an opportunity to be part of an intimate lunch of 40 at Le Bec Fin with two of the City's leaders, David Lipson, President and Publisher and Larry Platt, Editor in Chief of Philadelphia Magazine. As a newbie independent real estate brokerage I welcomed the opportunity. As I listened to both gentlemen speak and inject humor into their agenda, I saw a genuine desire to make a difference through the power of their sword, the almighty typesetter. Their passion about Philadelphia is evident but one should check out http://www.phillymag.com and get a glimpse of the magazine. Philadelphia Magazine is not "holding the presses" with the print version but complimenting it by engaging the online consumer. The site is user-friendly and totally Philadelphia and its surrounding Burbs. These gentlemen were intriguing but equally so by their audience's comments and suggestions regarding advertising, costs and improvements. With a myriad of accomplished publications, one can only wonder "What's next for this dynamic duo?" Perhaps there's an amalgamation forecasted with Philadelphia Newspapers.
