Episode 6: Still Here

In the final episode of the series, Broderick and Aleck go back to Hot Corner. They hear how its spirit is kept alive through the efforts of longstanding business owners, the work of the Hot Corner Association, and the ways that young people are building on the tradition of creating spaces for Black life in Athens. Hot Corner has changed, but it is very much still here. The question is, what will the future bring?

Episode 5: Town & Gown

For a lot of students and visitors, the University of Georgia is "Athens." There is no doubt that the school has a huge influence on the town, but while many Black Athens residents work on campus, it is not a place where they have always felt welcome. The same can be said of some parts of downtown that mainly cater to the student population. Aleck and Broderick examine how these conditions have shaped the lines of segregation in downtown Athens in recent decades. What they find helps to explain why Hot Corner remains such an important place.

Episode 4: Under Pressure

As the 1980s began, only a handful of the traditional Hot Corner businesses remained in place. The Manhattan Cafe, a popular restaurant and bar owned by the Wade family, had weathered the many changes that took place in Athens over the preceding years. Then, in 1983, things changed again. The Manhattan Cafe got some new neighbors, courtesy of the Athens Police Department. Broderick and Aleck ask why the local government decided to create a police “substation” just a few doors down from the Cafe, and they explore the impact of this decision on the last spot for Black nightlife on Hot Corner.
