The dust up in Mahncke Park over a historic neighborhood designation divided the community, with some wanting to avoid the added restriction on construction but others striving to protect their neighborhood from rapid development.

Guest:
- Shanon Shea Miller, director of the Office for Historic Preservation at the city of San Antonio
