Robert Oliver has been a fixture in our community for decades. He is the type of person with a deep knowledge of the community, will rally folks to address a community concern, ask many questions during community meetings, and will  be seen out and about at community events. But, how well do you really know him?

Join us today for this Next Stop Neighbors episode where we have a porch conversation with Mr. Oliver, We’ll hear about some crazy July 4th parties, his activism to get a paved trail connecting North Michigan Park with Fort Totten metro, learn why he always has enough change to take a bus, some info on the status of the Lamond-Riggs Library redevelopment…and best of all, some magic too!

Background on Next Stop Neighbors:

Welcome to Next Stop Neighbors where we get an opportunity to hear the voices behind the faces and places in Lamond-Riggs and the surrounding communities. Through this podcast series, you will meet some friendly neighbors and hear their perspectives on the community through civil, casual conversations. From the small business owner who just opened up, to the non-profit organization trying to make a difference, to the community leader describing their vision for the neighborhood, and the resident around the corner who has lived here for 50 years, we all have a story to tell. We welcome recommendations and, better yet, your own 10-minute interviews too!
