Free Flights for Cats, Billion Dollar Buildings, and a Debate Over “Sin City”

In our first Friday news roundup of 2023, co-host Vogue Robinson sits down with producers Sonja Cho Swanson and Layla Muhammad to discuss the $3.2 billion worth of highly anticipated construction projects supposedly being completed this year and which ones we'd abandon, celebrate, or implode (hypothetically speaking, of course). Plus, we talk about why Frontier Airlines donated free flights for those adopting kittens from The Animal Foundation, and we read some of your responses to newsletter editor Scott Dickensheets’ question, “Do locals hate the name 'Sin City?'”

Special thanks to newsletter readers Matt Jacob, Christy Clayton, Tami Belt, Jen Mujica, and Patty Johnson for sharing their thoughts with us.
