COVID-19 Community Report, April 6, 2021: Heather Caswell, downtown Davis business owner for 34 years

This month I’m touching base with folks in a few key sectors - business, local government and nonprofit - to talk about what’s next as we begin to emerge from the pandemic.  My guest today is Heather Caswell, who’s celebrating 34 years operating The Wardrobe in Downtown Davis. We’ll talk about business during a pandemic, what she’s learned in more than three decades of operating a small business in Davis, and what her work is centering on now, including the Davis Community Vision Alliance.

23. Bike City USA

Davis has been voted one of the most bicycle friendly cities in the United States. It was the first city in the U.S. to have bicycle lanes and bicycle signals on traffic lights, and has more than 100 miles of bikeways. Pretty impressive for a town that is only about 11 square miles in size! In today’s show we meet Bob Bowen, who is on the board of directors of the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame, located in downtown Davis. Hear about the long relationship of Davis with bicycling, and the story of how the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame moved to Davis in 2010. Then learn about New Jersey, the original home of the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame where the oldest bicycle race in the country, The Tour of Somerville, has been held since 1940.
