  • D2&U Ep 14: Transforming Neighborhoods

     In this episode of the D2&U Podcast, Annie from the Greater East Side Community Council interviews Becky Wegscheid of the St. Paul Area Association of REALTORS® (SPAAR) to discuss what SPAAR is and how it supports local communities. The conversation covers multilingual housing resources available to East Side residents, the exciting Transforming Neighborhoods Project coming to White Bear Avenue this summer, and ways to get involved in National Night Out. Becky and Annie also talk about the importance of community connection and the many ways neighbors can make a meaningful impact. Featured resources include SPAAR’s multilingual consumer tools and guides at spaar.com/community-engagement/resources and the City of Saint Paul’s housing support links at stpaul.gov/housing-resources-links. Whether you're a renter, homeowner, or just curious about what's happening in the neighborhood, tune in and learn how to stay informed and get involved.

    How to make a box fan filter: 

    1. Purchase a 20 in × 20 in (51 cm × 51 cm) box fan and a MERV 13 filter.
    2. Put the filter behind the fan so that the arrows point towards it.
    3. Tape the filter to the fan using duct tape. You can use one or more filters depending on your preference.
    4. Trace and cut out cardboard to cover the gaps between the filters and the fan.
    5. Tape the cardboard to create a seal around the fan and the filters.
    6. Put the filter in an enclosed room and turn it on. Replace filters as needed.
