As small minded as my hometown (and as poor as I) was, we had a fully functioning media lab and library.

& i was the kid who went to the municipal library, after school, to use the internet (and stay the hell out of trouble). That was invaluable for a latchkey kid (of which Philly has no shortage of)

Libraries are an investment. I wish we invested in human potential & the resource of knowledge and education, as much as we invest in large capital expenditure projects and business. Can we have quality physical and social infrastructure, please?
