The Geography Of A Blog
I was in the Starbucks near the Astor Place cube yesterday and suddenly struck with an overwhelming sort of Proustian feeling. That was the location where the old Matthew Yglesias blog really put its reps in during the summer of 2002. One of the key locations in its life.
The real start, of course, was at 20 De Wolfe Street in Cambridge, MA. Lots of early hours also put in down in the Harvard Independent offices in the Canaday Basement. The first place I ever blogged from in DC (which still in college) was the place that’s now Lighter at 1400 I Street but was an “Internet Cafe” (remember those?) at the time. And then there’s the late, much-lamented Sparky’s on 14th Street and Mocha Hut on U Street.
But only the Starbucks remains…
