Episode Delaware Central Station Cover

Delaware Central Station

Just east of Fishtown, a 500,000 square foot industrial monument overlooks the Delaware River. Delaware Central Station, completed in 1923, was designed to look like a Roman temple—complete with classical columns, ornate entablature, and Beaux-Arts grandeur. But why would an electric power plant need to be beautiful? In this episode, we explore how Philadelphia Electric Company used architecture as public relations during an era when electricity was new, invisible, and terrifying. We'll trace the building's journey from the Progressive Era through decades of abandonment to its recent rebirth as The Battery—a story of industrial decline, historic preservation, and the question facing every American city: what do we do with our industrial past?

Episode Philadelphia's Beverage Tax Cover

Philadelphia's Beverage Tax

I discuss the structure, implementation, and impact of the Philadelphia Beverage Tax since 2017. Case studies on soda taxes in Mexico and Berkely, CA supplement the conclusions I draw about the future of the soda tax and it's ability to fund pre-k and community schools in Philly.
