As the city looks to invest $18 million in the 18th and Vine district, we pay a visit to see what's there, who goes and explore the potential for development in the area. We kick off a reporting project about the historic area.

As a host and senior news analyst at KCUR, I seek to create a more informed citizenry and richer community. I want to enlighten and inspire our audience by delivering the information they need with accuracy and urgency, clarifying what’s complicated and teasing out the complexities of what seems simple. I work to craft conversations that reveal realities in our midst and model civil discourse in a divided world. Follow me on socials @ptsbrian or email me at brian@kcur.org.
