Back to EpisodesThe Ugly Truth About Encampment Sweeps, West 7th Hipsterification, and Claddagh Coffee at 15
Description
A St. Paul coffee shop turns 15, and we sit down with Mary Hogan-Bard, the original owner of Claddagh Coffee, to talk about what it takes to anchor a neighborhood for a decade and a half. Then, Kat Turner from Rising Waters Mutual Aid breaks down what the city's plan to clear encampments starting at Pig's Eye Park actually means for the people living there, followed by Julia McColley, Executive Director of the West Seventh/Fort Road Federation, on how to grow a community without losing its soul. Then we close things out with a St. Paul-themed round of Hot Dish Hush.
