Strong Towns organizer Nick Dennis shares how, once he hosted a simple meetup, he discovered a whole network of already active people in Lancaster, Pennsylvania who just needed a way to connect their efforts. He and Norm talk about a small church turned neighborhood hub that’s now a coffee shop, bar, and venue where they even hosted a talk on Escape the Housing Trap. They also dig into Celebrate Lancaster and an open streets event that closes Water Street so people can enjoy the city on foot instead of in cars. Together, they show how these gatherings and small experiments are slowly reshaping how Lancaster experiences its streets and public life.ADDITIONAL SHOW NOTESNick Dennis (LinkedIn)Strong Towns Lancaster (Site)West Art (Site)Celebrate Lancaster (Site)Norm Van Eeden Petersman (LinkedIn)Do you know someone who would make for a great Bottom-Up Revolution guest?
