PreservationNation - Good afternoon--and thanks so much for joining this online chat with the editors of "Preservation." Let me tell you a bit about who’s with us today: I'm James Schwartz, the editor of the magazine. Three of my colleagues are here as well: Senior Editor, Sudip Bose; Eric Wills, Associate Editor, who wrote the cover story about Negro League stadiums; and Margaret Foster, our online editor, who’s responsible for all the great stories of the week and stories of the day that appear on PreservationNation.org/magazine. Ask us questions about this issue or the magazine in general and we'll try to respond. Let's get started!

1:01	PreservationNation - Eric: How did you first learn about Hinchliffe Stadium--one of the surviving Negro League stadiums you wrote about for our Nov./Dec. cover story?

1:02	[Comment From Eric] Hinchliffe Stadium was one of the finalists for this year's list of 11 Most Endangered Historic Places but didn't make the final cut.

1:02	[Comment From Eric] We decided it was such a good story that it was worth telling in the magazine.

1:02	PreservationNation - Eric--Did you visit the stadium recently?

1:03	[Comment From Eric] Brian LoPinto has brought a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the cause, and visting the stadium with him, it's impossible not to be swayed.

1:03	PreservationNation - Another story in the magazine covered Biltmore House...our writer took us behind the scenes to learn how a historic site of such enormity is maintained. Sudip, how did you find that story.

1:04	[Comment From Sudip Bose] A very talented freelancer, Leigh Ann Henion, came to us with this story--a very different take on a classic American house, a kind of behind-the-scenes look at how a historic site is maintained and preserved.

1:05	PreservationNation - If anyone participating in this chat has visited Biltmore, let us know what your experience was like. They've recently completed portions of a restoration--did you see the restored spaces such as the Louis XV Suite?

1:05	[Comment From Hannah] James, could you talk to us about the new HomeFront section? I have an historic home. What kinds of homes are you looking for?
