Extra: pie shop with mims bledsoe

September 12, 2013

Featuring:
Mims Bledsoe

OVERVIEW

​The Broken Window Theory postulates that a broken window is more than just shattered glass, it’s a visual indicator that the property is uncared for and even unsafe.  You fix all the windows on the building, then all on the street, then all in the neighborhood and you’ve elevated the community.  Analogous to that, a Pie Shop is more than just a pie shop.  For this Sidewalk Radio EXTRA we sit down with pie entrepreneur Mims Bledsoe, pie maker and owner of the Pie Shop in Buckhead’s West Village.  Listen and you’ll hear her story, and the encouraging narrative about how pies do more than tempt our taste buds, they catalyze urban development and community building.

Contribute to community by supporting pie.

Another cool component of this EXTRA is that we’re doing our part to help build neighborhoods in Atlanta by letting you, the reader and listener, know about the Pie Shop Kickstarter campaign.  YOU can make a difference in our Atlanta community just by liking pie.  Now that’s in good taste.  Dig in.
