Description

The neighborhood spoke loud and clear in opposition to the proposed biodigester project in West Louisville. Now, a food port is proposed for 30th and Market Streets. This week, we talk to two of the people working on making the West Louisville Food Port a reality: oSha Shireman and Charles Booker. They say the project will bring farmers, educators, retailers and more together on one 24-acre campus. "The food port is essentially a business park for food," Booker explains. "Any food-related business can come set up their shop." He says there will also be an arts & culture aspect to the project and food port visitors can expect to find anything from cooking classes to musical performances. In our Juicy Fruit segment, we recap the Grammy Awards, and pay tribute to Vanity, Prince's former protege, who passed away this week.
