]]> Comment on cityLIVE! 21: to brand (or not to brand) by Jim DeAngelis http://www.citylabpgh.org/3829/#comment-9 Jim DeAngelis Thu, 08 Oct 2009 14:28:10 +0000 http://www.nowall.com/citylivepgh/?p=1364#comment-9 This was my first time at a City Live event and now that I have browsed your website and seen the summarires of the earlier events, I must say that I am impressed with the apparent objectives of the series although I was underwhelmed by the last night's discussion. It was entirely predictable -- 3 of the 4 panelists were vested in branding and/or Pittsburgh branding and I would guess that 3 of the 4 had directly/indirectly benefited from civic/foundation investments.... so, the only arguments against branding came from the stands and got expressed as something like... "don't lie about Pittsburgh... don't make us out to be something we're not... don't sell us as homogenized... " so, to anyone who is interested, may I suggest some attentive listening? Also, it would be nice if Ms. Blint had cited some evidence to support her assertions about what Pittsburgh is or could be. Also, Humphrey seemed to be the only panelist who declared his focus and made his case for his passion and his vocation; it would have been refreshing for the others to have done so.... but, I know, that's expecting too much... I am glad to have attended and, if I'm in town for the next scheduled events, I intend to attend. BTW.. I've lived in Pittsburgh by choice since 1967 after finishing my formal education on the East Coast, live part time in France, have traveled extensively, and have come to see our region from the inside out and the outside in; I continue to be impressed with what this place seems to be -- dynamic and resilient.
