Walk & Talk is a new community connection and wellness effort sponsored by NRRC. Neighbors will gather and walk and share opinions in a lightly moderated discussion as we walk. Each month we will meet at a different location in or near the NRRC zone and walk to (and from) an iconic North Minneapolis location. Each meetup will have a different focus and be facilitated by Kenna Cottman, longtime Homewood resident and Northside artist.
