Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Built in 1914, Baltimore’s Hippodrome Theater was a city landmark that hosted some of the best vaudeville acts of the day. But after years of neglect, the theater closed down and was left abandoned. Now, a unique public-private partnership has renovated and resurrected the theater, bringing cultural life back to Baltimore’s West Side.
Guests
- Mark Sissman President and CEO, The Hippodrome Foundation
