Here's a preview of the next municipal equation where we're gonna talk a little bit about this whole urban versus rural thing and what it really means right now. You know, over the past year, we've heard a lot of urban versus rural. There tends to be,

just tension. The bottom line really is that urban versus rural can be a useful generalization in some cases, but it really doesn't tell us much about the economic capacity of a place. We have an opportunity to

know each other better. Looking at the spectrum that exists between the rural and urban and then to a real live effort that's actually connecting them and creating a better appreciation for their actual identities, cultures, economies, and common interests. That'll be on the October 24 episode of Municipal Equation. It's a podcast about cities and towns and changing times. It's brought to you by the North Carolina League of Municipalities. All episodes at soundcloud.com/municipalequation. But I want a quick question. Email me at bbrown@nclm.org if you can help me out. Is your city or town officially scheduling Halloween on a day other than October 31, like on the prior weekend? Or is that something you're asking for? If you work for a local government, is this a request you've heard? Let me know, and tell me what's happening with it or what your thoughts are. Bbrown@nclm.org. You can also get me on Twitter with the handle at muniequation. That's at m u n I equation. The podcast comes out every other week. You can subscribe on iTunes, Google Play, or stream it on your favorite podcast app, like Chorus, Overcast, Stitcher, TuneIn, whatever you prefer. And we'll see you next week. Thanks. This has Ben Brown.
