Soul of the City: The curators + creators who are nurturing Barrio Logan's soul

In this episode, we head to Barrio Logan in San Diego, CA to spend time with the people and places that give a neighborhood its soul. We visit Libélula Books & Co., an independent bookstore that serves as a true third place: hosting readings, workshops, and creative gatherings that bring the community together, and meet artist, content creator and sign painter Koy Sun, whose hand-painted, maximalist lettering helps small businesses feel visible and distinct in an increasingly expensive, copy-paste city.Along the way, we talk about what really makes a place feel alive: affordability, allowed uses beyond formula retail, and the policies that determine which kinds of spaces get to exist at all. We decide that the soul of a city isn’t just how it looks; it’s how it’s cared for, who it makes room for, and whether people can still put down roots.If you enjoyed this episode, rate and review the show.
