On this installment of Barber Shop Show, guest host Natalie Moore got an update on the Large Lots program. The program makes city-owned vacant lots available to neighboring homeowners for only a dollar. The second application round is open to homeowners in Chicago’s East Garfield Park neighborhood until August 4th. http://largelots.org We were be joined by: • Tina Harbin, President of the Yale Harvard Homeowners Association • Demond Drummer, Tech Organizer at Teamwork Englewood We also heard about a group called Black Girls Jump that’s working to preserve the art of double dutch jump rope. They even jumped for us live in the barber shop. For that we were joined by: Ayana Haaruun, Syreeta House, and Asmahan. The Barber Shop Show airs on Fridays and Saturdays at Noon on 90.7FM and 89.5FM. You can also stream live at vocalo.org. The show also broadcasts on Sundays at 3pm on WBEZ.
