Is it a coincidence that Sara Marcus (above) did our Civic Pride: Washington, DC event in May, and now she has a piece up on n+1 titled “Civic Pride” about her hometown?  We won’t take any credit here, but if we are at all responsible for sparking a hint of hometown pride in one of our favorite writers that led to her writing a wonderful piece, and that piece ended up on n+1, we feel like we’ve done a pretty good job*.

(If that isn’t the case, we’re still psyched to read anything Sara ever writes…)
