I’m Michael Hickey, your Man About Town, and this is my blog. In these pages you’ll find my ruminations on community development, social impact investment, creative place making, tech for social good, and a host of other issues.

My ideas come from my conversations with you – my colleagues and friends in the nonprofit, philanthropic, private, public and academic sectors. Thanks for your continued inspiration, unending charm, and willingness to shoot the bull with me. I’m better because of who you are.
