Evaluating Mayor Parker on Kensington, Black Bottom on the (Official) Map & HitchBOT Lives

We’re zooming into Kensington and talking about how the Parker administration has been addressing issues in this neighborhood. Plus, Black Bottom becomes an official Philly neighborhood – is that enough to remember a displaced community? Host Trenae Nuri is joined with Santiago Ortiz, founder of No Shorts Media, and Eric Marsh, director of the Philadelphia Center for Gun Violence Reporting. We also discuss the anniversary of HitchBOT’s destruction by Elfed’s Alley.  Our newsletter has Philly news & events in your inbox every weekday morning.
