Finally, if you came to our General Meeting last week, you saw that we couldn't quite get the audio to project through the Zoom call, but Pen Lucy leader Kourtnee Turner and her neighborhood have been highlighted in a couple ways recently for how attainable homeownership is in great neighborhoods in Baltimore!

• Check out Mayor Scott's State of the City video from last week. Kourtnee comes in at about 13:00 talking about how Live Baltimore's Trolley Tour helped connect her with her current home in Pen Lucy while she was living in Tulsa!
• Two months ago USA Today also did a story and discussion of Kourtnee's experience and Live Baltimore's role in marketing neighborhoods. As Mayor Scott did, this article points out how Black women in particular are buying homes in Baltimore! 

Have a great week, and we hope to see you out on the corridor.
