Episode Five of Developing Philly Season One, “Clubhouses”, looks at coworking and how Indy Hall helped define it for Philadelphia and elsewhere. Here’s some extra info…

• First off, here’s Indy Hall.
• Tara Hunt and Chris Messina were pioneers in coworking. Here’s some video of them talking about coworking with fellow pioneer Brad Neuberg.
• Chris Cera mentions PANMA, which we talked about in Episode Four.
• National Mechanics was the original home, if you will, of the coworkers that became Indy Hall.
• Here’s an article (possibly the one Bala is thinking of) about Reading being the poorest city in the U.S.
• And here’s the T.E.A. Factory.
