Remember what you were doing at 4:00 in the morning on October 17th, 2007? Didn't think so.

Watch the pretzel makers at work while the rest of us sleep.

The Next Mayor | Issues Forums | Regionalism
The Next Mayor project is an innovative, two-year multimedia partnership to focus on the issues - not just the personalities - leading to the 2007 Philadelphia mayor's race. It was created by the Daily News, WHYY and the Committee of Seventy. We took what we what we learned from our travels around the region and identified 16 different issues that are important to the people of Greater Philadelphia. Tune in as we convene panels of experts to talk about those issues. They'll let us know how other cities are tackling those same problems and they'll make suggestions to the next mayor. Regionalism can be a dirty word to municipalities looking to protect their fiefdoms but experts say the Greater Philadelphia region can only succeed as a whole if its individual parts work together - to lure jobs, seek funding for roads, bridges and public transit and compete in a global economy. We began The Next Mayor project in December 2005 with a radio feature about the prospects for regional cooperation in the Greater Philadelphia area and a look at how the city of Chicago pulls it off. After almost two years and having gone through a mayoral primary in which this topic got some play, we revisit the issue. Joining us are Mark Schweiker, president of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce; John Childress, president of the African American Chamber of Commerce; Ted Hershberg, director of The Center for Greater Philadelphia at the University of Pennsylvania; and Jeremy Nowak, head of The Reinvestment Fund.
