Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Can a housing development or strip mall in the suburbs have “historic” value? How do we determine what should be preserved in some of our region’s newer communities? Leaders are grappling with these questions as the Washington suburbs age, and residents often disagree on the proposed solutions. Join Kojo as we explore the evolving definition of historic preservation beyond the Beltway.
Guests
- Roger Lewis Architect; Columnist, "Shaping the City," Washington Post; and Professor Emeritus of Architecture, University of Maryland College Park
- Gail Rothrock Supervisor for Historic Preservation, Prince George's County Planning Department
- Mary Catherine Cochran President, Preservation Howard County
