Episode 1 - Whattown?

CBC Edmonton produced a podcast called Slumtown about problem properties in Edmonton's inner city neighbourhood.  It talked about the problems, the perspectives, and what some people are trying to do to improve the situation.  It was a well researched podcast, but it was missing something.  It was missing what made this a great neighbourhood to live in.

In this episode, I talk to area Realtor Michelle Patterson-Nipp about what makes this area so attractive.  I also look at crime stats for the area and compare it with other communities in the city, dispelling myths and challenging outsider perceptions.
