- Hana Baba
When you hear about Richmond?s Iron Triangle community in the news, it?s usually in connection with a robbery, murder, or a drug bust. That high crime rate is the reason Richmond has surpassed Compton as being the most dangerous city in California. But that?s not all that?s all there is in this ill reputed neighborhood. KALW?s Hana Baba takes us on a tour to show the Iron Triangle as it is to the people who live there.
