I can think of at least 15 different articles I wouldn't mind seeing, related to city rowhouse living, homeowning, buying and maintaining, selling, and none of them are the splashy decorating makeover picture essays. My point is, there is no shortage of meaty material to write about, in addition to decorating and design pics, how-tos, and diy essays.

Likewise, I can think of half a dozen different styles of rowhouses in Phila alone that may have issues distinctive from the other types. (e.g. Airlites vs. trinities) And then, there are at least a half dozen metro areas in the eastern US with what we'd call rowhouses, and they're all over every old city in europe. There surely must be some good ideas among all these row houses, whether old, really old, new, medieval, etc.

I just can't figure out why the magazine I'm imagining doesn't exist for these people, when it seems obvious to me that more and more people are shoe-horning themselves into tighter urban spaces all the time.
