In this episode of Rehash, we sat down with Julia Rosenberg and Chase Chapman from Metropolis to discuss all things DAOs, governance, and Metropolis.Julia started learning about crypto after being frustrated with web2 scaling models in her startup journey, which eventually led her to co-founding Metropolis (previously Orca Protocol.) Chase fell down the crypto rabbit hole while working in marketing and data analytics. After graduating college she dove headfirst into the DAO ecosystem and started contributing to DAOs full time. She eventually started her own podcast, On the Other Side, where she talks about the human aspects of web3. Eventually she met Julia and fell in love with Orca Protocol (now Metropolis) before joining the team there.Julia and Chase lay some groundwork for the episode by defining governance, not only in the DAO ecosystem, but much more broadly. We compare DAOs to digital cities and discuss the transition from corporate structures to DAOs, which transfers more ownership to members and gives them more autonomy over their work. We touch on the complexity of DAOs, the ways in which they are failing, the ways in which they can benefit humanity, and how Metropolis is enabling them to achieve better governance. Julia and Chase explain the Metropolis rebrand and help listeners understand how the protocol works on a very basic and tangible level. We discuss the importance of organizations being human centric and scalable, and the two share how they have seen DAOs evolve as well as how they think they'll evolve in the coming years.

Direction Séoul ! Je vous emmène à la découverte de la ville la plus connectée du monde. Dans cet épisode, on essaye de comprendre comment les Coréens innovent et utilisent le numérique. On visite le musée de l'innovation au siège de Samsung. A Séoul, le numérique est partout. C'est l'une des villes les plus connectées du monde. Les Coréens aiment que les choses aillent vite (on dit « pali—pali »), et ils adorent la technologie. L'Etat coréen, en avance depuis toujours, a lancé un vaste plan numérique et prépare même son propre metaverse. Particularité : la Corée réussit à se passer des GAFAM, car elle a développé son propre écosystème d'applications. Ici on n'utilise pas WhatsApp, Google Maps ou Amazon mais KakaoTalk, Naver et Coupang.  • Seong Woo (Chris) Ahn, étudiant coréen en intelligence artificielle, nous parle des habitudes coréennes en matière de numérique. Il nous explique ce que la Corée prépare en matière de metavers.  • On se rend au siège mondial de Samsung, une véritable ville baptisée Digital City, où sont conçus les produits de la marque. On visite le Samsung Innovation Museum (SIM), entièrement consacré à l'histoire de l'électronique grand public (merci Samsung pour la visite privée !). Bonne écoute ! 

Cette semaine, je vous emmène en Corée du Sud, l'un des pays les plus connectés au monde, pour un reportage spécial.

The “Weimar fallacy.” 23:18 Free speech as the guarantor of freedom: Trump's America compared to Putin's Russia and Modi's India. 31:44 The counterintuitive idea of free speech and its fragility in practice. “Milton's Curse”—selectivity about free speech, even among its greatest historical champions, from Milton to Voltaire. The need for a strong culture of free speech (without which legal protections are almost meaningless). 36:30 Iona's “footnote” on Milton, whose ‘Areopagitica', of course, is the namesake of ‘Areo'. Why, despite Milton being an imperfect champion of free speech, ‘Areo' is appropriately named! Plus: the history of free speech in Britain, the two ancient and competing conceptions of free speech (elitist and egalitarian), and Milton's more radical-on-free-speech (and oft-neglected) Leveller contemporaries.

Taiwan's tech-based g0v initiative—combatting disinformation and promoting new forms of democracy for the digital age without censorship. The tensions between the “Analogue City” and the “Digital City” and how we must find solutions for these without sacrificing free speech. Plus: how the lack of free speech in China made the Covid pandemic worse. 1:10:01 The worrying power of private social media and other internet companies over what we can say and hear. John Stuart Mill, George Grote, and the tyranny of the majority: the need for a culture of tolerance and openness to dissenting views. The problems with centralised platforms that are pretty much monopolies and the need for technological rather than legal solutions to these. The need for a “more decentralised social media ecosystem.” 1:16:30 Last words.

Summary of the book chapter titled Smart and digital city: A systematic literature review from 2014 by Annalisa Cocchia. The chapter is part of the book titled Smart city – How to create public and economic value with high technology in urban space, published by Springer. This chapter gives us an insight into the smart cities' history since its infancy, and its conneting urban future concepts, through time analysis, terminology analysis, definition analysis, typology analysis and geographic analysis. The chapter follows the smart city concept's evolution from 1993 until 2012 and its connections to other urban future concepts, such as the intelligent city, the knowledge city, the ubiquitous city, the sustainable city and the digital city. You can find the chapter through this link. Abstract: The concept of Smart City embraces several definitions depending on the meanings of the word “smart”: intelligent city, knowledge city, ubiquitous city, sustainable city, digital city, etc. Many definitions of Smart City exist, but no one has been universally acknowledged yet. From literature analysis it emerges that Smart City and Digital City are the most used terminologies in literature to indicate the smartness of a city. This Chapter explores the literature about Smart City and Digital City from 1993 to the end of 2012 in order to investigate how these two concepts were born, how they have developed, which are the shared features and differences between them. To accomplish with these goals, three steps were followed: (1) to set up a search strategy for systematic literature review to collect a representative subset of papers about Smart City and Digital City using Google Scholar; (2) to store the selected subset in an ad-doc database to synthesize the literature review; (3) to organize the literature review subset to extract quantitative and qualitative data and information about Smart City and Digital City evolution. The author proposes a literature review taxonomy through five specific analysis: (1) time analysis, to explore the causes of the trend of Smart City and Digital City literature in the latest twenty years; (2) terminology analysis, to examine how and where these two ideas were born and what have been the main events influenced their development; (3) definitions analysis, to select and compare the most cited and validated definitions of Smart City and Digital City trying to identify similarities, differences or overlaps between these two concepts; (4) typology analysis, to investigate if Smart City and Digital City are included into a specific urban strategy pursued by government or if they face specific urban problems without a comprehensive framework; (5) geographic analysis, to understand where are the largest concentrations of Smart Cities and Digital Cities in the world and which are their main characteristics and best practices.

We all know by now that Zoom causes fatigue, social media spreads misinformation and Google Maps is wiping out our sense of direction. We also know, of course, that Zoom allows us to cooperate across continents, that social media connects us to our families and Google Maps keeps us from being lost. A lot of technological criticism today is about weighing whether a technology is good or bad, or judging its various uses. But there's an older tradition of criticism that asks a more fundamental and nuanced question: How do these technologies change the people who use them, both for good and for bad? And what do the people who use them — all of us, in other words — actually want? Do we even know?L.M. Sacasas explores these questions in his great newsletter, “The Convivial Society.” His work is marrying the theorists of the 20th century — Hannah Arendt, C.S. Lewis, Ivan Illich, Marshall McLuhan, Neil Postman and more — to the technologies of the present day. I've found this merging of past thinkers and contemporary concerns revelatory in an era when we tend to take the shape of our world for granted and forget how it would look to those who stood outside it, or how it looked to those who were there at the inception of these tools and mediums.Sacasas recently published a list of 41 questions we should ask of the technologies and tools that shape our lives. What I loved about these questions is how they invite us to think not just about technologies, but about ourselves, and how we act and what we want and what, in the end, we truly value. So I asked him on the show to talk through some of them, and to see what light they shed on the lives we live.Mentioned: "The Questions Concerning Technology" by L. M.

Podcast: Beyond The Meter (LS 25 · TOP 10% what is this?)Episode: Resiliency and Technology in Cities, Ep #9Pub date: 2020-09-14Most of us live day to day in our city of choice without giving much thought to the infrastructure and services that living in the city provides. But when a natural disaster or outage happens, we immediately recognize that vitally important things were going on behind the scenes that we benefit from directly. This episode highlights the steps the city of Greensboro, NC has taken to begin its “Smart City” initiative, which includes a number of renewable energy approaches. You'll enjoy hearing from three officials from the city of Greensboro and how their varied roles provide unique looks at the challenges of becoming a Smart City. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... The guests on this episode and their role in energy & renewables [0:58] How Greensboro started its “Smart City” journey [4:48] The overview of Greensboro's energy management evolution [9:01] Greensboro's actions compared to other municipalities [12:59] The consequences associated with power outages for cities [18:08] How does resiliency intersect with renewable energy sources? [26:25] Greensboro's kiosk program: why it was created and what it's accomplished [28:43] How Duke and other energy suppliers can partner toward renewables [33:46] Prioritizing investments in smart city and renewable energy projects [35:41] Are energy-as-a-service programs helpful for municipalities? [40:10] Emerging priorities for cities and the communities they serve [47:17] The Smart City journey the City of Greensboro is on The city of Greensboro, North Carolina started its journey to becoming a Smart City when neighboring cities began working on fiber installations. Greensboro's leadership began investigating its own options for fiber installations since high-speed data connections are foundational to the technology needed to implement Smart City approaches. From there, many additional developments have come about. In their current approach, the city's leaders are continuing to ask, “How can we leverage the Smart Cities approach for growth and economic development?” Some of the initiatives they've implemented so far are the city's smart connected corridor, which includes informational kiosks visitors can use to find out about the city, locate destinations, and connect with public transportation. Find out more by listening to this conversation!  Why resiliency is vital for municipalities like Greensboro The situation in Greensboro mirrors the reality of many municipalities around the nation. For Greensboro, 30 out of 80 facilities are emergency-related, so when the power for the city experiences a disruption, there's not only a dollar impact, it can also create a logistics nightmare. A tornado a few years ago made it abundantly clear that resiliency for the city's power grid was of the utmost importance. Greensboro's CIO, Jane Nickels says that if the data center goes down, everything in the city shuts down, and it would take days to get the data center back up. For that reason one of the resiliency measures they are adopting is a migration of everything possible to the cloud. As well, all projects — Smart City related or not — have resiliency in mind. From the creation of “battery buses” to the use of solar power to charge them, the city is well on the way to making its power needs resilient. How Greensboro pursues financing through partnerships  City budgets are not known for being lavish and the budget in Greensboro is no exception. The city had no budget at all set aside for Smart City initiatives when the idea came to the forefront, so those leading the charge had to look for partners. When they keep their ears open to what's going on in the city and do the legwork of discovering what projects are slated by other companies, they can often find ways to attach a Smart City initiative to that project. These are collaborations that enable them to leverage Smart City ideas into the projects other organizations are already budgeting. Listen to learn more about how Greensboro is utilizing smart energy and building resilient systems.

The modern city is changing. With 66% of the population expected to be living in cities by 2050, it's no surprise we're focusing our transformative efforts there. But if the tech's already here, what's the hold up?

Michael Sacasas is an independent scholar focusing on technology and culture. Michael joins Elise to talk about the way technology shapes our society. They discuss the role media can have in disintegrating a sense of the common good and why technology tends to reflect ourselves back to us. Together they ask: Is online “real life”? What constitutes reality in digital spaces? And what’s at stake when we refer to the digital as “space”?   Digital and media environment Online identity formation Mediation Spatial metaphors for digital life Digitized relationships Philosophy of technology Temporal lag and immediacy Weaponization of digital memory Social media interfaces as “common things” The algorithmically mediated nature of social media Apathy and numbness Hyperreality and spectacle Acedia and doomscrolling Limits that we ought to embrace Making sense of the insurrection Narrative structure and databases National Mourning and public language Ordering our remembrances   Michael Sacasas’ newsletter, The Convivial Society “The Insurrection Will Be Livestreamed” by Michael Sacasas “The Analog City and the Digital City” by Michael Sacasas “Structurally Induced Acedia” by Michael Sacasas Nathan Jurgenson on “digital dualism” Postphenomenology Evan Selinger Don Ihde Peter-Paul Verbeek Marshall McLuhan Ivan Illich “The Scourge of ‘Relatability’” by Rebecca Mead Liquid Modernity by Zygmunt Bauman Lysistrata by Aristophanes The Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt Digital humanist Corey Sparks Vladimir Nabokov Michel de Certeau Alasdair MacIntyre Commemoration of COVID-19 victims The Need for Roots by Simone Weil

Hi #smartcommunity friends! Welcome to the Summer Series here on the Smart Community Podcast. We're taking a little break from new content over The Australian summer holidays, but with more than 200 episodes in the bank, we've got plenty for you to catch up on. During this Summer Series, we'll be sharing the replays of a few of our all time favourite episodes. And this week we're starting right back in the beginning when we were still called The Smart City Podcast with Nancy Odendaal, who was on Episode 3! Nancy is an Urban Planner and an Associate Professor in City planning at the University of Cape Town, South Africa.In this episode not only will you hear Nancy and I discuss the cool new idea of a podcast about Smart Cities, we also talk about her background in urban planning and how she's been involved in the concept of Smart since the 1990s when it was called Digital City. We also discuss how informality is often core to understanding a city in the global South, the difference between Smart Urbanism and Smart Cities, and the contrast between big engineering approaches to Smart and the idea of Smart from the bottom up. Nancy and I also discuss the social justice angle of technology being used to challenge the status quo, and how tech is a part of the day-to-day even for people who live quite marginal existences. Plus, Nancy tells us why she believes South Africa is the perfect place to pilot Smart tech, and so much more.Of course, this episode is now almost 3 years old so I have an update from Nancy: she's got lots happening, including her new book Shaping Smart for Better Cities, with another book on the way! We'll be sure to get her back on the show in the future for a full update.

Alysha has the pleasure of meeting Marc Canter all because she listened to her “Spidey Sense” after Erica O'Grady (Episode 8) told her about Jeff Pulver's networking group (Episode 15) which is how they connected. However, it was after the biggest myrony that connected Daniel Kottke from last week's episode (Episode 17) that Alysha knew meeting Marc was for a greater reason. Hear the continued story from last week's episode of the early days of Silicon Valley where Canter shares about his experience with Jobs and how Canter's software MacroMind (which later became Macromedia) was also in the first Apple Computers. Canter shares his extremely colorful history in the software world including his claim to fame with video games (remember Professor Pac-Man?) and his meeting with Bill Gates…we know even if you are not into computers will appreciate the story he shares. Canter finally explains about his latest creativity & entertainment tool known as Instigate.ai where we will be able to tell a “story” with AI that we get to create. Is this going to be the next big thing after Instagram and Tik Tok? We hope so because for those that are tired of just selfies, Instigate.ai is the answer & more myronies could be shared!! About the Guest:Marc Canter is a software entrepreneur, who co-founded MacroMind (in 1984 in Chicago), which became Macromedia [MACR.] Because of Marc's tireless work, enthusiastic evangelism and creative leadership - Marc is known as "one of the fathers of multimedia."After Macromedia Marc created an Interactive Music Video Band (MediaBand) w/Todd Rungren, created an Interactive TV Talk Show and a venue based Operating system (MediaBar) all leading up to "the Internet." At that time Marc's product Director - was directly responsible for creating 85% of the world's multimedia and generating 100,000's of digital media jobs and production entities.Marc focused on broadband solutions during the early days of the Internet - traveling to London, Amsterdam, Japan and Italy, building "Interactive TV" systems and Digital City prototypes - all leading up to the development of a "white labeled Social Networking" platform (called PeopleAggregator) which he utilized to build 27 different social networks - between '03-'09. The 00's also had Marc getting heavily involved in the rights of User's to their Data and a group called "the Identity Gang."In '09 Marc picked up his family and moved to Cleveland, after having lived and worked in the SF/Bay Area for 27 years. Marc created an "economic development" platform (called "the Digital City Project") which he took out on the road to Amsterdam, Kuala Lampur, Jamaica, Tampa, FL, Kansas City and other cities. Marc's family then moved to Charlotte, NC - where he started yet ANOTHER startup, which originally focused on IoT Authoring tools, but pivoted into an entirely new kind of Messaging App - called Cola.Cola brought Marc back to SF - where he eventually started "Instigate, Inc." which is developing a new kind of "conversational storytelling" tool. Marc is an expert of taking ideas from Zero to One and has been helping software startups develop and grow their companies for over 30 years. Marc is a leader, an interdisciplinary thinker, a Dad and a loving husband to his wife, 5 kids and one granddaughter.Instigate.ai = websitehttps://www.facebook.com/Cantervision = Facebook grouphttps://www.facebook.com/marccanter =...

Michael Sacasas has been thinking, writing and talking about the meaning of technology for over 10 years. He is the associate director of the Christian Study Center of Gainesville, Florida and author of The Convivial Society, a newsletter about technology and society. In this episode, Michael and I will be talking about his New Atlantis essay, “ The Analog City and the Digital City - How online life breaks the old political order” In the essay, Sacasas contends that civilization at large is in the midst of an interregnum. The dieing hand of the past (analog culture) clings to the present while the future (digital culture) struggles to be born. We are in the place between. Once stable societies have devolved into “hyper-pluralistic” places of ceaseless and irresolvable conflict. In the midst of this strife and confusion, computational algorithms - mysterious to all but a select few - manage the increasingly digital worlds that we inhabit. We revolt in response. We demand to be managed. Is it time for emerging digital societies to revivify analog public and private virtues?

Woe unto the future generations of those who casually demean and cast aside their societal culture. Author, Martin Gurri, delves into the recent and ancient past with host, Matt Foley, to help us understand the current state of societal affairs in our increasingly digital world.

Most of us live day to day in our city of choice without giving much thought to the infrastructure and services that living in the city provides. But when a natural disaster or outage happens, we immediately recognize that vitally important things were going on behind the scenes that we benefit from directly. This episode highlights the steps the city of Greensboro, NC has taken to begin its “Smart City” initiative, which includes a number of renewable energy approaches. You’ll enjoy hearing from three officials from the city of Greensboro and how their varied roles provide unique looks at the challenges of becoming a Smart City. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... The guests on this episode and their role in energy & renewables [0:58] How Greensboro started its “Smart City” journey [4:48] The overview of Greensboro’s energy management evolution [9:01] Greensboro’s actions compared to other municipalities [12:59] The consequences associated with power outages for cities [18:08] How does resiliency intersect with renewable energy sources? [26:25] Greensboro’s kiosk program: why it was created and what it’s accomplished [28:43] How Duke and other energy suppliers can partner toward renewables [33:46] Prioritizing investments in smart city and renewable energy projects [35:41] Are energy-as-a-service programs helpful for municipalities? [40:10] Emerging priorities for cities and the communities they serve [47:17] The Smart City journey the City of Greensboro is on The city of Greensboro, North Carolina started its journey to becoming a Smart City when neighboring cities began working on fiber installations. Greensboro’s leadership began investigating its own options for fiber installations since high-speed data connections are foundational to the technology needed to implement Smart City approaches. From there, many additional developments have come about. In their current approach, the city’s leaders are continuing to ask, “How can we leverage the Smart Cities approach for growth and economic development?” Some of the initiatives they’ve implemented so far are the city’s smart connected corridor, which includes informational kiosks visitors can use to find out about the city, locate destinations, and connect with public transportation. Find out more by listening to this conversation!  Why resiliency is vital for municipalities like Greensboro The situation in Greensboro mirrors the reality of many municipalities around the nation. For Greensboro, 30 out of 80 facilities are emergency-related, so when the power for the city experiences a disruption, there’s not only a dollar impact, it can also create a logistics nightmare. A tornado a few years ago made it abundantly clear that resiliency for the city’s power grid was of the utmost importance. Greensboro’s CIO, Jane Nickels says that if the data center goes down, everything in the city shuts down, and it would take days to get the data center back up. For that reason one of the resiliency measures they are adopting is a migration of everything possible to the cloud. As well, all projects — Smart City related or not — have resiliency in mind. From the creation of “battery buses” to the use of solar power to charge them, the city is well on the way to making its power needs resilient. How Greensboro pursues financing through partnerships  City budgets are not known for being lavish and the budget in Greensboro is no exception. The city had no budget at all set aside for Smart City initiatives when the idea came to the forefront, so those leading the charge had to look for partners. When they keep their ears open to what’s going on in the city and do the legwork of discovering what projects are slated by other companies, they can often find ways to attach a Smart City initiative to that project. These are collaborations that enable them to leverage Smart City ideas into the projects other organizations are already budgeting. Listen to learn more about how Greensboro is utilizing smart energy and building resilient systems.

This week we’re joined by Germaine Halegoua, an Associate Professor of film and media studies at the University of Kansas to talk about her book The Digital City: Media and the Social Production of Place.  She talks about how people use digital media to relate to cities whether that’s images on Instagram or through Google Maps. We also talk about how data exchange can be exploitative and how internet infrastructure is used as a commodity rather than a utility and how that affects equity. And finally there's a discussion about smart cities and how they try to create top down culture.

In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at the European Digital City Index - the result of a study investigating how well different European cities support digital entrepreneurs. The study analyzed how 60 European cities scored on a list of 10 themes. In episode 20, we're talking about how European cities are doing in two of these categories: business environment and promoting a culture of entrepreneurship.

In her new book, The Digital City: Media and the Social Production of Place (NYU Press, 2019), Germaine R. Halegoua rethinks everyday interactions that humans have with digital infrastructures, navigation technologies, and social media as we move through the world. Dr. Halegoua draws from five case studies from global and mid-sized cities to illustrate the concept of “re-placing." In this book, Dr. Halegoua shows have different populations employ urban broadband networks, social and locative media platforms, digital navigation, smart cities, and creative placemaking initiatives to create built environment into places with deep meaning and emotional attachments. She argues that people use digital media to create a unique sense of place within rapidly changing urban environments and that a sense of place is integral in understanding the complex relationships humans have with digital media. In this interview, Dr. Halegoua talks about the multidisciplinary nature of her work as well as the distinct contribution she sees film and media studies providing her in studying the digital, place, place making, and the concept of “re-placing”. Dr. Halegoua shares that her research could be considered multidisciplinary and we agreed that value is added to the body of research when a topic is studies across multiple disciplines. She also shared that film and media studies contributes some unique aspects that other disciplines do not provide. Michael O. Johnston, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. He earned his doctoral degree in Public Policy and Public Administration from Walden University. He researches place and the process of place making as it is presented in everyday social interactions.

Welcome to Digital Noir Presents. A podcast loosely based around life in a Digital Studio. Whoever said print was dead? On the podcast this week we are joined by Sam Dickinson, owner of City Brief Guide. We chat about the risk in small business, and how difficult it can be to break even.

Combing various technologies, C95 Creative, a leading global architecture and design firm, created a smart digital city model of Ayacucho, Peru. The model was used by Patronato Pikimachay, a non-profit organisation, to inform the perception on reality and provide a georeferenced digital base for operations in the city.

Kommer den smarta staden vara den som lär sig mest av sina medborgare? Och kommer data att visa oss vägen? Jo, det tror nog vi i alla fall

Varje vecka från nu fram till 2050 kommer 1 miljon människor på Tellus flytta in till en stad. Vad blir det kan man undra?

Var börjar staden och var slutar internet? Och hur ska dom egentligen sitta ihop? Kommer de ens kunna vara separerade imorgon?

Städer växer när fördelarna med att människor möts överväger kostnaderna. Så vad blir staden i framtiden? Och kommer den vara smart?

Imagine a city that’s clean, safe, and economically vibrant? Not to mention, fun, creative, and smart. Who wouldn’t want to live there? But a smart a city has to be a digital city. And transformation is never easy. So, what can city leaders do to realize that vision of a thriving 21stcentury digital city? In this podcast, Kevin Delaney, co-author of the paper Digital Cities: Building the New Public Infrastructure, seeks answers from: Bob Bennet, chief innovation officer of Kansas City, Mo.  Jesse Berst, founder of the Smart Cities Council Dr. Sumit Chowdhury, founder of India’s Gaia Smart Cities Lou Zacharilla, Intelligent Communities Forum

New York has an interesting, complex and downright weird relationship with video games, from the digital sewers below Manhattan to the neon-lit arcades of Times Square.  In this grab bag episode – filled with nostalgia and nerdyness -- we capture all sides of the relation. First -- the relationship between the city and the arcade itself, once filled with shooting galleries, skee ball and pinball machines which, in  the 1930s. became public enemy number one for one of New York’s most powerful mayors.   The era of Space Invaders, Pac Man and Donkey Kong descends in New York during its grittiest period – the late 70s/early 80s – and arrives, like an alien presence, into many neighborhood arcades including one of the most famous in Chinatown – an arcade that is still open and the subject of a new documentary 'The Lost Arcade'. While the video game industry is not something New York City is particularly associated with, the city does in fact set the stage for this revolution of blips and joysticks at the start of the 20th century.   Then it's on to Queens when you can find one of America's great tributes to the video game, in the arcade collection at the Museum of the Moving Image.  At the end Greg goes into the games themselves to explore New York as a digital landscape that continues to be of fascination to game developers and players alike.  So are you ready Player One? Grab your quarters and log in to this New York adventure through the world of video games.   boweryboyshistory.com Our book The Bowery Boys' Adventures In Old New York is now out in bookstores and online at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
