CITY Magazine's "Growth" issue

As crocuses push through ground still dusted by snow, now may be a time to reflect on what it takes to grow. This month's edition of CITY Magazine is all about growth — and not just in the physical sense. From growing a cultural and social scene, to personal growth, to the physical blooming of plants, we're joined by the CITY team to explore it all. Our guests: Leah Stacy, editor-in-chief of CITY Magazine Patrick Hosken, arts reporter for CITY Magazine Roberto Lagares, multimedia reporter for CITY Magazine Jake Walsh, art director for CITY Magazine Tom DeBlase, owner of Flora Sam Genovese, operations manager of Flora  Don Stevens, longtime Amerks broadcaster, who is retiring after 40 years Jim Mandelaro, former Democrat and Chronicle sportswriter, freelance writer and author, and contributor to CITY Magazine ---Connections is supported by listeners like you.
