Downtown Life Today

On this weeks episode I speak with Clint and David. They are two of the founders of the Elyria Arts Council.

The Elyria Arts Council is home to many great local artists and creators. David along with other members of the council have painted many of the murals that dot the Elyria landscape. Most notably the elevated train that stood just outside of the Council.

Listen as both Clint and David talk about what the idea is behind the Arts Council and what the future holds in store for them.

No events are listed this episode because of the extended length of the episode.

Today's episode is just me behind the mic. No interview.

The reason I am doing this is because I want to discuss the changes that I have in store for Downtown Life Today.  As I mentioned on a Facebook post last week, I want to grow and expand what DTLT means to Downtown Elyria. This episode I will highlight some of my ideas and goals for the rest of the year and for the year 2020.

So kick back and spend some time listening to this episode.
