Wick’s turnaround of @amconmag was before my time, but I met Wick Allison once at a magazine event and he mentioned that he liked the direction of our @NewUrbs stuff. I told him it was an area of interest for me as well, and he had a special New Urbanism issue of D mailed to me. https://t.co/tF69vGBiFm

It’s a blessing to devote your life to something you love. And I know Wick Allison loved Dallas. The city has lost a native son, and his family has lost a loved one. My heart goes out to Christine and his daughters.
