This week, we're talking about Grove Park, which with the new Quarry Park and Microsoft headquarters announcement, has been thrusted into the headlines recently.

I am covering the earliest school building, churches, community theater and integration issues of the 50s.

Thank you for this episode! Very enlightening and so important as Grove Park continues to evolve. Grove Park’s rich history and generational residents should be at the center of all revitalization efforts.
