WYSO Weekend: October 22, 2017

WYSO Weekend

In this edition of WYSO Weekend:

In the early 1940’s Dayton’s population swelled as employment opportunities in area factories, research facilities and military installations rose dramatically. But there wasn’t enough housing for these new workers and their families. In response to the shortage, three unique public housing developments were built. One of these developments was the topic of a WYSO Curious question from a listener, so Community Voices Producer Renee Wilde took a stroll through Greenmont Village and found it still going strong 80 years later.

 

Hurricane season lasts for a few more weeks. The US has been fortunate over the past few years because there haven’t been many direct hits on the mainland, but this year the hurricanes just keep coming. Sustainability commentator Bob Brecha takes a look at what we should expect for the future with warming oceans.

Our in studio guest this week is Jalyn Roe. She one of the organizers of the restorative justice symposium: Healing Harms in Today's Troubled World. Roe talks about the reasons behind the symposium and offers details on how to get involved.
