As infrastructure talks heat up in Washington, some Bay Area advocates are wondering if there will be money to tear down the 980 Freeway, which bisects downtown Oakland from West Oakland. Joining us to discuss tonight on State of the Bay are Nico Savidge, reporter, East Bay Times & Chris Sensenig, founder, Connect Oakland.

Also, no one knows San Francisco better than historian and San Francisco Chronicle contributor Gary Kamiya. We’ll talk to him about his book “Spirits of San Francisco” and the anthology “End of the Golden Gate,” which he edited. He’ll tell us why he’s vowed to never leave San Francisco.

And finally poet Giovanna Lomanto reads her poem “Gold Digger” and talks about her process.

Tune in tonight at 6pm PT on KALW 91.7 FM in the San Francisco Bay Area or stream live. Call 866-798-TALK with questions during the show!
