Tom Knox in Person

I apologize for being a little remiss in my blogging duties, but you know how things get....busy, busy, busy. Speaking of busy, Tom Knox is staying very busy these days meeting with community leaders, learning about neighborhood and citywide problems, and talking with people about what he thinks are real solutions and what could be real initiatives to improve our Philadelphia. I recently, for the first time, got to see Tom doing just this a few weeks ago and I was honestly impressed. The gathering was small, 20 or so people at the office of a business friend, and Tom talked about schools and economic development and a host of other issues that he and many Philadelphians are concerned about and what he hopes to address them. I have to admit, Tom isn't exactly the best public speaker I've ever seen, but there's something truly honest and real about him that gives him a great presence that is simultaneously approachable. Since Tom is making many more appearances throughout Philly's neighborhoods in April, I would strongly encourage all of you to go check out his grill in person and please feel free to report back here....I'd love to know if I'm the only one that finds Tom so endearing.
