So Long Blogger, Hello Substack

It's time.  After 12 years of writing about cities with a Rust Belt perspective on this platform, I'm closing it down. And no, this is not an April Fool's joke.  I'm moving on to a new platform with a new name: petesaunders.substack.com. It's got my name for now but that may change. It also has the more than 800 articles I've written since 2012 archived and available for viewing.  As you might guess the Substack platform offers a lot of features that would allow me to expand the scope of what I've been doing, and I hope all my followers and readers come with me to the new site.  I'm grateful for the readers who enjoyed my content, grateful for the interaction with people I never would've interacted with otherwise. It's been my pleasure to offer my views of where cities are and where they're headed. Occasionally my thoughts resonated with people over the years, and that's a great feeling. This isn't an end, but a new beginning that could lead to much more. Please stick with me and see what happens over the next 12 years, or more. Thanks, Pete
