Alleyways and those long-forgotten public stairs that seem to lead to nowhere can seem uninviting. But a local group is making them safer, more beautiful places to walk.
Spring in Our Steps is a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and improving public walkways. You can learn more about Spring in Our Steps at the Over-the-Rhine Museum's next Three Acts in Over the Rhine June 14.
On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss how the initial idea for Spring in Our Steps came after the co-founder was robbed, and how the group is bringing out the beauty in formerly neglected public spaces.
Guests:
- Christian Huelsman, co-founder and executive director, Spring in Our Steps
- Jenny Ustick, associate professor of art, University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning
- Derek Scacchetti, founder, Urban Rangers Midwest
