This week on Hello Davis!, Brett Lee of the Downtown Davis Business Association sits down with Dave Greenwald, executive director of the Davis Vanguard, for a conversation about how downtown Davis has changed over the past three decades.
Dave has maintained an office in downtown for more than 30 years, giving him a front-row seat to the growth, challenges, and changing character of the city center. Brett invites Dave to look back at what downtown was like 30 years ago, what has disappeared, what has taken its place, and how changes in business, housing, transportation, development, and community life have shaped the downtown we know today.
It’s a conversation about Davis then and now — and what the next chapter of downtown Davis might look like.

David Hosley had led a very full life. Lois could have interviewed him about many many different things and filled up a show -- his long media career (starting at age 12!), being a renowned investigative reporter, teaching at various colleges and universities, UC administration, managing LOTS of radio and tv stations, producing six documentaries, training journalists in ethics, heading non-profits, talking about the history of migration into California and the challenges of life in the San Joaquin valley, and sharing thoughts on community, economy, social assumptions, and why people work after retirement. As I say, we COULD have filled up an hour on any of those. Instead, because we met working together on a project of the Davis Genealogy Club, we started with family history and went from there.
So how do I know all those other things about David Hosley? We actually touch on them all during this show! Jam-packed and fully loaded, this episode is definitely a keeper.
