Appearing just a few weeks ago, ProgressiveStL.com is KDHX late-night host Dylan Hassinger's contribution to the StL-Blogosphere.

According to the blog, Dylan is 26 and lives in South St. Louis, so we should have some things in common. Of course, I've been hardened by years of working within city and university bureaucracies. Not to mention dealing with neighborhood politics on a variety of levels. Sometimes, I feel kind of worn out, especially seeing how things are going these days.

My own cynicism aside, it's refreshing to see more people out there like Dylan who are thoughtful about issues of urban community development. We need more fresh 26-year-olds - to replace the exhausted 26-year-olds like me!
