We're back in Brewerytown, Philadelphia, where a local problem once again brings out ominous echoes in listeners' ears: the prospect of losing one's home. We bring you highlights of the February meeting of concerned Brewerytown residents and businessfolk. Topics: higher taxes, "affordable" new housing, a misrepresented community vote, remarks about how other neighborhoods succumbed to situations like this, and more.
