b'As the summer comes to an end across the city, it\\u2019s the start of a new season here at Bushwick Podcast. That means we have the continued privilege of sharing more of the remarkable stories happening in the community, and the renewed duty to help break down the biggest issues facing the neighborhood today. We have some exciting episodes planned this Fall, and we\\u2019re thrilled to begin the season with a story of resilience, hope, and the power of partnership.\\n\\nThis week, we sat down with some of the leaders behind the Bushwick Food Co-op, which, if you haven\\u2019t listened to our previous episode, \\u201cThe Everyone Store,\\u201d is the neighborhood\\u2019s democratically owned and operated grocer. Earlier this summer, the Coop\\u2019s storefront was devastated by fire damage, but today, they\\u2019re recovering by embracing the unique strengths of their community.'
