All Sides with Ann Fisher - 11:00 AM - Weinland Park Improvements and Gentrification
All Sides with Ann Fisher
 
 
 
The Columbus neighborhood of Weinland Park was once a bedroom community for streetcar commuters, but when drugs and crime moved in, a lot of residents moved out. Now, after millions in investments, the neighborhood is changing. We'll look at a new project that creatively chronicles the stories of Weinland Park. And we'll talk about the pros and cons of University involvement in the neighborhood's transformation.

Guests:

Jean Pitman, Youth Programs Educator, Wexner Center for the Arts
Joyce Hughes, past president of the Weinland Park Community Civic Association
Mark Ferenchik, reporter for Columbus Dispatch
Isabel Toth, President and CEO of Community Properties of Ohio
