Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Revitalized neighborhoods. Shorter commutes. A business corridor stretching from Northeast Maryland to Hampton Roads, Virginia. By most accounts, the region will look radically different in twenty years. We get some predictions on our economic, cultural, and aesthetic future — and hear your wish list for the area where you live.
Guests
- Douglas Fruehling Senior Editor, Washington Business Journal
- Ellen McCarthy Outgoing Director, D.C. Office of Planning
- Robert E. Lang Director, Metropolitan Institute at Virginia Tech in Alexandria, Virginia; and Associate Professor, School of Planning and International Affairs, Virginia Tech
