This Friday, WYPR launches our News Roundup. We hear from WYPR's own reporters, reporting from our news partner, the Baltimore Banner, and others as they drill down on a topic affecting Maryland. This week, we ask which way Baltimore should turn when it comes to housing. Revitalize vacant homes or build something new? WYPR's Wambui Kamau reports on new development along the city’s expanding light rail system, and Giacomo Bologna, a reporter with our partner, the Baltimore Banner, examines the foreclosure “hustle” complicating efforts to revitalize Baltimore's housing stock. And as the weekend begins under the shadow of war, we speak with an artist who has transformed protest into a festival.
