Mark and David and a room full of friends run through this week's top news stories together: the new Shirley Clarke Franklin Boulevard and Park, the return of the Valentine's Mural in Little Five Points, Girl Scout Cookie Season, Atlanta's #1 ranking as a city for Black-owned businesses, and Red, White, and Blueland. David gives a Hawks, Unrivaled, All-Star Trae, and Superbowl update in It's Sports! and the guys share a favorite Black History, Present, or Future hero.
Then, Cheryl Lowery joins for a moving and inspiring interview to talk civic engagement and share stories of her parents' work. And to top it all off, Mandal hops in to break down some Valentine's Day recommendations: the Sun Dial bar just re-opened, Waffle House takes reservations tonight - what are the plans?
Special thanks to Dad's Garage and our other performers on the evening: Vanessa Fraction, Amena Brown Owen, and Mandal.
