Episode Synopsis

Episode 187 of Tangazo, attempts to describe what, "Recovery" of North St.Louis might look like in years to come. ----- Charles Jaco, award winning broadcast journalist, joined Tangazo commentators, Political consultant Tim Person and St.Louis American award winning Sr. Editorial Columnist, Michael Wesley Jones,along with your Tangazo host Hank Thompson, for a lively and engaging conversation, on the aftermath of the May 16th tornado, that struck St.Louis. ----- Ours was a compelling discussion, on what needs to be done to revitalize, the north side of St. Louis, following the May 16th, tornado that destroyed some five thousand homes and businesses, mostly located in North St.Louis. ----- We all agreed that there isn't a "one size fits all" definition of what "recovery" means, in this context and that revitalizing the north side of the city, has not been a priority for several decades,as the area continued to decline.-----   The May 16 tornado, has forced city leaders, state and federal officials,to look at what needs to be done to make the Northside, a viable part of St. Louis city, once again. ----- We concluded with the agreement that "recovery" of North St. Louis, involves much more than restoring structures,that were destroyed by the May 16th, tornado. ----  Tangazo can found on Spotify and Apple podcast platforms.
