私たちの繊細な日々は、一度失えば全くの元通りになることはない。それでも私たちは日常に慣れ続け、世界中のあらゆる事象を他人事のように忘れていく。それがいつか自分事になった時、私たちはやっと慣れの恐ろしさに気づくのだろうか。Our delicate daily lives, once disrupted, can never truly return to what they were.

We’re entering the golden age of mid-sized cities, redux of new localism, revolutions in tech and finance - a true goldilocks zone. The crux of this era is agency.

Citizens of mid-sized cities feel empowered to make a difference and do consequential things. Tim Kelly is the 66th mayor of Chattanooga.
