James Young of Styx joins Nestor for pandemic talk of rock and roll dreams and Chicago history

She came from New Jersey to do television news at WJZ and never left Baltimore. We catch up with our defending champion of loving city life Meghan McCorkell of Live Baltimore, who educates Nestor at Faidley's on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour about the whys and ways that the city wants you back as a resident, tax payer and stakeholder in the next round of Charm City and the revival of urban life.

Are the streets of Baltimore City safer than they were a decade ago? Peace and progress in our city continues to be a daily effort for Baltimore City State's Attorney Ivan Bates, who joins Nestor at Faidley's at Lexington Market to discuss youth crime, accountability and the challenges of the juvenile system while getting the repeat offenders off the street to make the city safer.

The Jesse Minter era begins with Baltimore opening the season in Indianapolis on Sept. 13.
