Stateside: Polar vortex on a Great Lakes island; Lone Ranger’s MI roots; teaching the “soft skills”
Today on Stateside , we check in with a fire department, an animal rescue group, and homeless advocates to see what work is like for them during the record-setting cold weather. We also talk with an artist whose first large-scale museum exhibition was inspired by her time in Flint.
