City living advocate Edward Glaeser visited yesterday and spoke about the joys and pains of cities.  He advocated that cities are great places to be poor and great places to be rich at the same time.  During his book signing, he was overheard telling one member of the Syracuse community that despite the success of  Triumph of the City, his next book will probably be more of an academic versus a popular text.

Several neighborhoods in downtown Syracuse participated, including the Midtown section (pictured above).

The event was started in San Francisco in 2005.
