Jacobs will be in London this week to read from the new book at Althouse College auditorium.
Admission is free.
The book represents the serious side of Jane Jacobs. I get very envious when I see the inline skaters going by. Jacobs, who turns 84 in May, is recovering from a hip operation and having trouble with a knee. Her physiotherapist had been over to the house for a session that morning. A photographer who arrives to take her picture volunteers that he skateboards.
