Lexington is about to turn 250 years old in the year 2025, and Saving Stories will be featuring a number of familiar voices from our community. Jump starting that look back is this episode featuring former Vice Mayor Isabel Yates. The Nunn Center interviewed Yates in 1996 for a project involving members of the Lexington Fayette Urban County local government. Listen as she details how she got involved in local politics and talks about a number of then pressing issues that seem all too relevant today - especially issues of growth versus preservation. Isabel Yates celebrated her 100th birthday this past October.
