Oh Oberlin Chapter 3: Krista Long

The issue of parking in downtown Oberlin has been a talking point in the business community since there has been a business community, but when rose to a level of receiving news coverage I asked people who follow my podcast on Facebook to recommend someone to talk to about it.
Krista Long's name was among those suggested; convenient, because I had wanted to talk with her anyway. Parking was a jumping off point.
We talked about parking, Oberlin's downtown emergence as an entertainment destination (and what that may miss), her education and business background as well as her hope for Oberlin half a century from now. We talked only some about her father Bill Long, a prominent figure in Oberlin business and politics in the mid-20th century.
As with so many of the interviews, there is insight into the changing of the guard from the Boomers to whatever power generation of civic and business leaders comes next.
