Third Ward Featured on NPR's Morning Edition Tomorrow

I wanted to let you know that tomorrow morning National Public Radio's Morning Edition will be running a story (for which I was interviewed) on efforts in Third Ward to preserve the character of the neighborhood and mitigate gentrification.

It's one of several stories Steve Inskeep of Morning Edition is doing in Houston as part of his series "The Urban Frontier." Mr. Inskeep came to Houston to interview me after reading an article in Governing Magazine (which you can read by clicking here) about my efforts to mitigate gentrification in Third Ward. We spent four hours driving around the neighborhood, talking about the historical significance of the area and significance of the people who live there as well.

The first story aired this morning, which you can read and hear by clicking here. I hope you'll tune in to 88.7 FM tomorrow morning, from 5-9 am, to listen to the story.
