The Interview: Land Grabs, Depleting Resources & Cultural Salvation in Wine Country
Baja California's wine country, Valle de Guadalupe is urgently trying to put a hault to the big business machine that very well could destroy the up and coming wine region.
The last five years of international attention has piqued the interested of deep pocket developers. Local wineries, residents, farmers and restaurants are in a race against time to put a stop gap in place that will allow the incoming district administration to review and enact regulations to protect the limited resources being depleted in the area of San Antonio de las Minas, Valle de Guadalupe, El Porvenir and Francisco Zarco.
Have a listen to the concerns about sustainability and infrastructure the people of the area are struggling to procure.
Guest: Scott Koenig, A Gringo in Mexico

San Diego's Little Italy Food Hall Opens a New Venue for All
San Diego, CA: The thing about food halls is that sometimes, they can feel like mall food courts; impersonal, cold, meant to purely function as a food line for the masses. The Little Italy Food Hall has created a free flowing food hall anchored by a bar and a piazza.
This new venture by developers Grain and Grit will be a great asset to San Diego providing a great variety of foods, yes, but also sparking a renewal of community with their family friendly, romantic & charming destination. It is reminiscent to town centers we see across the globe. It brings things a little closer, makes the world just a little smaller for a moment. Bravo.

Listen in on how he has changed with the times by modifying the way he markets such a subjective product as art and the hard lessons he has learned to find success.
