People Places, LLC. founder, Frank Starkey, started the Talk About Town series in 2016 as a way to bring Downtown New Port Richey residents, business owners and city staff together to discuss community issues and New Urbanist development & design principles.

Past discussions included an introduction to urban design, urban agriculture, local original music, the Hacienda Hotel, historic preservation, gentrification, recycling, and human trafficking. This new wave of Talks will have a renewed emphasis on the design and activation of the public realm and will also revisit some foundational urban design principles.
