Episode Details

What would you spend more than a decade fighting for? After much debate, stalling, and protests, the East Phillips Neighborhood Institute bought the Roof Depot site. EPNI’s Priscilla Trinh shares how they’re planning to transform the area into an urban farm and community space. Plus, Nate Dungan has been booking the State Fair’s free stages for 20 years. He recommends up-and-coming artists you shouldn’t miss. Finally, what to do in August (besides go to the fair).
