2-15-13: Income Inequality, A Mystery at the Maryland Historical Society, "Flashdance"




WYPR: Maryland Morning with Sheilah Kast Podcast show

Summary: Maryland Morning senior producer Lawrence Lanahan looks at income inequality numbers for Maryland--and explains why our series "The Lines Between Us" has taken four months to start examining income inequality. We look at why affluent families are fleeing middle class neighborhoods and what can entice them to stay. We examine income segregation with researcher Sean Reardon and Patterson Park resident Jennifer Arndt Robinson. We also ask two residents: city Bureau of Solid Waste worker Demetric Farmer, and Glenham-Belhar Community Association president Sheila Ebelein. Tom Hall talks with Maryland Historical Society's curator of photographs Joe Tropea about how they solved the mystery behind a very, very strange photograph from their archives. Tom Hall and J. Wynn Rousuck review "Flashdance-The Musical," now up at the Hippodrome for a short run until Feb. 17.
