Co-host Dayvid Figler and newsletter editor Rob Kachelriess are joined by Jeff Hwang, owner of Taverna Costera, to hear about how paid parking is impacting the Arts District, why small business owners will be attending this morning's City Council Meeting, and how they think the city could do better.
