Summary
On Wednesday, the long-awaited Center for Black Excellence and Culture opened to the public. The 37,000-square-foot building on West Badger Road is designed to be a multipurpose space that will host live events, youth and elder programming, health programming, and more. Host Bianca Martin was there, and she tells executive producer Hayley Sperling and newsletter editor Rob Thomas all about it. Plus, we react to the news of brewery owner Kirk Bangstad joining the governor’s race, and the latest in addressing safety on Park Street. And exclusively for our Neighbors, we give our takes on a proposed downtown curfew for youth.
