On Monday’s show: Competing pressures in Atlantic Beach

Concerned residents are pushing back against proposed ordinances they believe would undermine citizen oversight and environmental protections overwhelmingly supported by voters in Atlantic Beach. We talk to three advocates ahead of a pending vote by the City Commission about why they want city leaders to push pause.

Guests:

  • Ellen Glasser, former mayor of Atlantic Beach.
  • Colleen November, strategic organizer, Save Atlantic Beach Elementary.
  • Dr. Nancy Staats, member, Atlantic Beach Preservation.

Then, in honor of Donate Life Month, we explore the life-changing impact of organ donation through the lens of both education and experience.

Guests:

And, we get a behind-the-scenes preview of the 51st Annual Riverside Avondale Preservation Home Tour. Celebrating the architectural charm and historic character of the Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods, this year’s tour features 12 unique properties, including eight homes never before showcased.
