Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
After years of planning, it finally looks as though construction of the 16.3-mile Purple Line is imminent. Despite cuts in funding from Governor Hogan and stiff opposition from some neighbors of the new line, light rail is about to transform communities from Bethesda to New Carrollton. We talk with experts about the construction of the Purple Line and what it will mean for Maryland and the region.
Guests
- Greg Sanders Vice President, Purple Line Now
- Andrew Metcalf Bethesda Beat editor, Bethesda Magazine
- John Fitzgerald Attorney; Advisor, Friends of The Capital Crescent Trail
