Come On Over – Stories worth slowing down for

In Part 2 of our conversation with Kristin Freehill , we go deeper into what makes a neighborhood thrive. From her work with Greater Muncie Habitat for Humanity to the power of long-term partnerships in revitalizing entire blocks, Kristin shares how homeownership, community investment, and intentional collaboration have helped transform parts of Muncie hit hard by deindustrialization.

 Learn how a simple bus tour can tell the story of a city—and how 40 years of Habitat’s work is more than just building houses.

 Tune in for a thoughtful look at neighborhoods, connection, and hope.

Hear from Dr. Tami Silverman, Indiana Youth Institute CEO, on new education laws, chronic absenteeism, and exciting opportunities like paid internships and military pathways for students.

Plus, learn about the new SEAS Stroke Support Group restarting this September in Muncie — get stroke warning signs and info on how survivors and families can find support.

Also: Monroe Central Band’s urgent ice cream social fundraiser, a fun trivia night benefiting Classroom Connections, and a feel-good story about a life-saving liver donation.
