How did we grow so fast, and more importantly, were we prepared for it? On Episode 5, host Maureen Kenyon and Mayor Shannon Martin explore why PSL has become such a desirable place to live, how our history affects the way the City grows today and what local leaders are doing to manage growth and prepare for it in the future.
