Come On Over – Stories worth slowing down for.
This week, Pat Smith welcomes Kristin Freehill 
to talk about growing up in Muncie’s Northview neighborhood—where kids played outside until sundown, neighbors looked out for each other, and the walk to school was part of the fun.
They compare what childhood looked like then versus now—and how technology, culture, and even air conditioning may have reshaped neighborhood life.
 A thoughtful, nostalgic start to a two-part conversation on community and connection.
Catch Part 1 now, and stay with us next week for more in the next episode.
