What is it about place that makes it special? Is it just what exists there during a moment or is there more? How much does the physical space we occupy shape us as people? Shae Strait, a native Appalachian, professional planner, and wearer of many hats, discusses why our place matters, from its history to even its future. Whether we were aware or not, and whether the choice of space was even ours to make, Shae will discuss both his personal journey and some of the ways place matters to us all, no matter where we find ourselves.
