Yesterday, we posted a podcast with former Mayor and current Northside Development Corporation Chair, Bill Barnet. If you haven't listened to it yet, we highly recommend taking a half-hour out of your day to give the entire episode a listen. Within that podcast though, was something we think is pretty special, something that deserves to be highlighted.

One of the questions we asked was a simple one: Why should folks in other parts of the City of Spartanburg should care about what's happening on the Northside? Barnet's answer is both direct and compelling, challenging all of us in Spartanburg to have a larger vision of ourselves as a community. We hope you enjoy it.
