[UC] Happy Yuri's Night !
Salutations, gentlefolk, From the _Good Morning Silicon Valley_ E-newsletter: It's Yuri's Night -- get your geek on: On this day in 1961, 27-year-old Yuri Gagarin lifted off the launch pad in Baikonur, made a single, 108-minute orbit around the Earth, then rode his capsule to a parachute landing on the Russian plains, becoming the first human to venture into space. There is obviously only one truly appropriate way to mark this historic event -- tech rave! In cities around the world tonight and tomorrow night, Yuri's Night '07 will be celebrated in parties that will be mashups of science and art. Hope y'all have a great time!

The logical flaw underlying most of these anti-marketing posts is to assume that if a name is used in some entity's marketing, therefore that name is *only* marketing. It's like saying, because the Philadelphia Phillies use the name Philadelphia in their marketing, therefore Philadelphia is a marketing tool. Or, because The Green Line is used by a café, that means the name has become a brand. This is true but, in the context of our discussion, only in a trivial and misleading way. As earlier posters pointed out, *all* urban names begin as marketing. All cities are built, then marketed and sold. Most name changes, which are also built into city life, represent somebody's effort to repackage an area. So the discovery of Marketing in urban real estate names is a duh! discovery that really tells us nothing. More importantly for political purposes is whether a name catches on with the public. In order words ... did the marketing work? If it did, then it must have met a popular need. If it didn't ... where are the Edselvilles of yesteryear? As of 2006, University City is obviously being used by the public. There is good evidence, in fact, that the information-seeking public (as opposed to the sticker-printing public) prefers it to West Philadelphia as a community name. The June 2006 Verizon White Pages lists 23 separate entities that use the phrase West Philadelphia as part of their names. But only 6 of them are within the generally accepted boundaries of University City (say, Spring Garden to 42nd to Market to 52nd to the EPTA tracks to the Schuylkill). The same edition lists 15 separate entities that use the phrase University City as part of their names. Of these, 14 actually lie within our community. Regardless of its origin, then, University City exists and is well known today. There is no law against anybody's using it in their marketing. -- Tony West Wilma wrote: I believe the name University City was first bandied about in the early 70's and not the 60's.

Re: [UC] New voice in the anti-gentrification movement
In a message dated 4/13/07 10:24:11 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The real debate is about neighborhood names breaking free of being labeled as University owned. I hope you all enjoy the article. S Sharieff, thanks for reminding me about the 1997 Penn Gazette article, now almost 9 years old. I remember reading it when it first came out. I also remember the writer calling me when he was researching for it, and asking me if I'd be willing to talk with him - about the sorry state of the neighborhood, and Penn's efforts to make things better. I replied that I would be willing ONLY IF they were also willing to include information about how Penn had badmouthed the neighborhood for something like 10 years, before changing their tune when Judith Rodin became the new Penn president. I told the writer that I'd lived in the neighborhood for many years, and I'd watched Penn's PR go from positive, to negative, and back to positive again. I said that the years of Penn's negativity had caused many of the problems. Then, I remember a long pause on the phone line. Next, the writer thanked me for sharing my opinion, and we ended our conversation - and ended my participation in the article! I was not surprised that I was not quoted. It was, after all, a marketing piece FOR PENN, not the area, and it was in a Penn publication. It wasn't an independent analysis. It's hardly the final authority on anything. You know all of this; we both worked together back then on initiatives like University City Saturday: A Community Open House, invented by Patrick Starr (he's mentioned in the article) to promote our community as a fine place to live. INDEPENDENT of Penn's negativity, we held University City Saturday every year. To COUNTER Penn's negativity. During those years, we couldn't interest Penn in participating. Our main sponsor each year was the old Thriftway at 43rd Walnut - every year, they gave us $500 for PR and a spread of snacks for the information fair on the day of the event. But, just like the Gazette article, none of us is the final authority on anything. It's like the story of the blind folks feeling the elephant, and then describing it in totally different ways, depending on whether they touched the tusk, the tail, the leg or the ear. Things affect each of us differently. Concerning the current listserv accusations about Penn and marketing, however, if one believes anything in that article, I think one might believe a direct quote from Lois Bye, describing how the name was invented at Urban Developers, the real estate firm which predates Urban Bye, where I work: Philadelphia is a city of neighborhoods, [Lois Bye] points out. West Philadelphia was such a huge place, and we were trying to develop a market in these big Victorian houses around the University, to encourage faculty to move back into a diversified neighborhood. So we decided to designate the area University City. So, yes to marketing - but no to PENN marketing. Though Lois and her husband George Funderburg, founders of Urban Developers, were Penn graduates, they were not Penn employees. They were small business people who managed to have a very large impact on the real estate market in this small area, whatever you want to call it. George, who was from Atlanta, had been a salesman of other things in the past, but not houses. Lois was from Ocean City, NJ. They had met in Powelton Village (a name also invented around that time) in a grand experiment where people of different races and backgrounds chose to live together. Lois and George found that they really liked the area, and they wanted to bring others to live here who would also appreciate both its building styles and its progressive thinking.The plot - that is, BUSINESS PLAN - was Urban Developers' plan to sell Victorian houses, and the natural target market was the people who worked for the employer next door: Penn. But it was not a Penn plot. George and Lois were incredibly influential and successful in the area, and I was very flattered when they invited me to come to work with them in 1988. They were my role models. They were original, progressive, independent thinkers - absolutely not a Penn plot. How that's getting twisted today just shows that people who make accusations don't bother to go back and do their research first. Maybe they're the ones who should be reading the article, for starters.

The nipple hurt less but for longer and took six weeks to heal. There were no piercing parlors at the time.

I take my genital jewelry out when I go to the airport. It set off the alarm at Great Adventure once. I told them what it was. They looked really embarrassed and waved me through.

[UC] The deadliest corner in Philly
52nd Market. Over the last several months, violent crime and drug activity have spiraled out of control, prompting several cops to dub 52nd and Market the most dangerous corner in the city. The numbers bear out the grim assessment: since Dec. 24, there have been 11 shootings, including three homicides, and more than a dozen narcotics arrests in and around 52nd and Market streets, police said. Jeffrey Anderson, 23, was shot to death on 52nd Street near Filbert shortly after 4:30 p.m. Feb. 22. And Andre D. Johnson, 49, was fatally shot at 52nd and Market about 11:15 p.m. March 12. In both cases, police said the victims were the intended targets. http://www.philly.com/philly/hp/news_update/ 20070411_52ND___MARKET_CALLED_CITYS_DEADLIEST_CORNER.html Frank
