Artistic communities in particular strengthen community participation and leadership, create a nightlife that can support business, low crime, and attract tourists. Policy makers, however, often lack understanding of how artist communities function and how these enclaves can enhance the development and sustainability of neighborhoods.

Both first-time travelers and returning natives discover and rediscover a diverse, neighborhood-based metropolis with a downtown that’s easy to navigate on one’s own or via public transit. Philly regularly receives raves in The New York Times, Bon Appétit, Travel + Leisure, USA Today and Condé Nast Traveler, yet doesn’t stand one bit for pretense. Here are the basics any visitor to Philadelphia should know: Well-Planned City: • Layout – Seventeenth-century city planner William Penn envisioned the grid of streets that comprise Philadelphia’s downtown, Center City. Perpendicular streets run north-south (they’re numbered) and east-west (many named for trees: Walnut, Locust, Spruce). What would be 1st Street is named Front Street. What would be 14th Street is Broad Street. Two rivers, the Schuylkill and the Delaware (dividing Pennsylvania from New Jersey), form the western and eastern boundaries of Center City; Vine Street and South Street form north-south boundaries. Today, Penn continues to give direction to the city. His statue atop City Hall points northeast. • Exceptions to the Layout – The 101-year-old, mile-long Benjamin Franklin Parkway cuts diagonally through Center City’s grid, from near City Hall, past the famous LOVE Park to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Even as the population and density of these cities de- crease, the infrastructure and physical area—and the cost to maintain them—remain the same. A new concept known as “Creative Shrinkage” calls for planning proactively for the possible or likely population shrinkage of a city by adjusting its physical size to its reduced population. This study explores the causes of urban growth and decline in Youngstown, Ohio and Pitts- burgh, Pennsylvania and compares Pittsburgh’s conventional responses with the unconventional “Creative Shrinkage” responses adopted by Youngstown, and determines that Creative Shrink- age as utilized in Youngstown has several standard components that allow for its use as a strat- egy for declining cities. The study suggests a new federal program to assist declining cities with shrinkage and calls for a shrinkage-oriented planning model.

  • Alexander Arbogast

    Alexander Arbogast

    Alexander Arbogast Bill Lockhart, Beau Schriever, Bill Lindsey, and Carol Serr This little-known firm was only mentioned in passing by a few researchers. Little is known about its bottles and even less about its history. The name, location, and family connections, however, are intriguing. Three members of the Arbogast family were involved with the glass industry as manufacturers, inventors, or both. Histories Arbogast & Kappahan, Pittsburgh (1860-1861) Alexander Arbogast, Pittsburgh (1861-1863) Born in 1829, Alexander Arbogast was one of ten children of Ignatius Arbogast and Catherine Muhlbach Arbogast (Ancestry.com). He teamed up with Gustavus Kappahn (or Kaplahn)1 to form the firm of Arbogast & Kappahan, listed in the city directories in 1860 and 1861. At some point during 1861, Kappahn disappeared, and the only listing was for Alexander Arbogast, Glass Manufacturer. Despite the listing, he also appears to have been styled A. Arbogast & Co., a name found embossed on bottle bases (Hawkins 2009:34). Van Rensselaer (1969:181) added that the firm made “dark glass schnapps bottles, porter bottles, brandy bottles and wine bottles, carboys, and demijohns.” Knittle (1927:350) only mentioned the 1860 listing. The McKearins (1941), Jones (1968), and Toulouse (1971) were all completely silent about Arbogast, although Toulouse and the McKearins mentioned the Philip Arbogast machine (see below). None of the sources mentioned a successor to the firm. Arbogast died in 1872 (Ancestry.com). 1 Hawkins (2009:34) provided the probable first name. The directories did not directly name the Kappahn or Kaplahn who partnered with Arbogast. 297 Containers and Marks Although Arbogast & Kappahan apparently failed to use a logo, Alexander Arbogast may have used three marks during his brief span in business.
