Join me at Orca Books, where I'll read from the Introduction to Building Ghosts: A Month of Empty Commercial Properties in a Capital City, and the History that Haunts Them, give an update on the status of the locations I chronicled, then lead an open discussion on the many issues my book touches on: from the ambiguity of accountability for urban blight to what desirable architecture looks like to the reasons why our city has changed the way it has over time. If you want, I'll draw a sad, empty building in your copy of Building Ghosts!
