Fresh tone, could go further

Ashley brings a fresh, relaxed, and unpretentious tone to this look at the city of Portland. She definitely succeeds in removing the stigma of danger from the city's downtown. I think that Ashley could have gone a little father with her feature, though. She could have talked with residents of downtown about cool stuff to do instead of listing activities herself. It also would have been helpful for listeners from outside Portland if Ashley had explained the danger stigma and its consequences on the city a little further. As it is, this piece is kind of hard to relate to for the majority of listeners.
