Download the Rusty Satellite Show this week to be in the know on some really interesting people making news in my hometown. First up is Mike and Medora Safai, who are the entrepreneurs behind Safai Coffee. But they’re also attempting to transform the Shelby Park neighborhood into one of the coolest spots in town. Their plans include a brewery, bakery, restaurant, Farmer’s Market and that’s only the beginning. Listen in to hear Mike Safai’s interesting immigration story, and how he owes part of the credit for getting to hear to the journalist Christiane Amanpour.

I know some of you are getting political fatigue to the point that it’s hard to open your Facebook feed, I’m focusing on happier items in the news segment, such as the slew of great events coming up and how the Omni Hotel is going up, up, and up and transforming our skyline.
