Reading Group Meeting 8/27

[Peter Wallis]

Hey everyone,

The reading group will once again meet at the Harold Washington Library (400 S State St.) from 1:30 to 3:30 PM, on Sunday.

As we have once before, we’re meeting in the sixth floor south study room, one floor below where we usually do.

This week’s readings:

I mentioned shifts into vs out of cities vs suburbs, and since Jed Kolko has written a lot about that, here are a couple of links:

Another interesting tidbit: ~25% of veterans live in rural areas. Various sources online peg the general population's percentage as 15-20%, probably due to different datasets and definitions of rural.
