Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
It started out more than seventy years ago as a place for German immigrants to have a beer and meet others new to the U.S. Today, the beer hall known as Blob’s Park is still serving up live polka music and hearty knockwurst every weekend. But the Jessup, MD institution will soon close, making way for new development in an area that was once rural farmland. We explore the history of a quirky local institution.
