The 88Nine Neighborhood Project


88.9 on the FM radio dial is conducting an audio documentary of what life is really like in inner-city Milwaukee and the steps that have been taken by select communities to improve the quality of living. Four neighborhoods will be featured on the program. Johnsons Park, Lincoln Village, Sherman Park, and Silver City were choosen because of their geographic locations and moreso because of their involvement in Milwaukee's Main Street Milwaukee Program or the Greater Milwaukee Foundation's Healthy Neighborhood Initiative. These are two popular and innovative programs that regularly help to fund and promote the revitalization of neighborhoods within the city. Radio host, Jordan, will introduce audio walk throughs of these developing areas beginning at 8 am on April 1st and then on Mondays starting April 13 through May 18. The goal is to share the methods and tools these communities have implemented to obtain such successes in hopes that many more Milwaukee neighborhoods will follow suit. If there are any positive comments or experiences pertaining to the development of these communities, or about living within them, you are encouraged to email the station at the following address to tell your story: sam@radiomilwaukee.org
TUNE IN AND ENJOY MILWAUKEE!
