Well it has been almost a year since I, Greg Selkoe, promised on this very blog that I would be launching my non-profit, the Future Boston Alliance, soon and that I would be blogging about the experience regularly... I am sorry that it's a little late but we finally launched,...

An Open Letter to GQ

Dear GQ,

Thank you for awarding Boston the distinction of worst dressed US city as part of your comedy issue this month. We here in the city of the Bean know how to take a joke and enjoyed GQ's good natured critique of...

My name is Greg Selkoe and I am an entrepreneur. This is a phrase I am proud of and no matter what the activity, whether it was when I worked at City Hall as an urban planner, started my own business, got involved in non-profit work, or neighborhood activism, it...

Yesterday Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker overturned California's Prop 8, a same-sex marriage ban voted in by Californians in 2008!

This is the last of my 3 part installment of posts entitled Grand Theft Auto. In this post I will discuss inner city public rail transportation and automobile use in urban settings. This is a subject that's near and dear to my heart. Ever since my grandfather took me on...

America, it is time to get serious about rail and stop getting our ass kicked by the rest of the world.

Trains are the transportation of the 21st century, but when it comes to America's rail system we are still stuck in the 19th century. China, Japan and Europe keep...

What is the most overlooked key issue of our time? A nuclear Iran, America's failing education system, the need for better dental hygiene? The answer is no, no and no. Now I am not saying that these aren't important issues facing us, but there is one massive, destructive...

As many of you have heard, Google is considering leaving the Chinese market. Yes, that's right; they would leave behind 1 billion plus people in the biggest and fastest growing consumer market on the planet. Google has been threatening to take off because they believe the Chinese government has been...

I work in the fashion industry and in the past week I have spoken with 3 people hailing from the corporate or media world that wanted to talk about the "Urban" market. Urban is their euphemism for "African American Market" as if there was only one way black people would...

It was a real bummer that even the Empire State couldn't get an equal marriage law on the books recently. It fills me with no shortage of pride that I live in the first state to grant equal and full marriage to gays and lesbians, and it is baffling to...
