The top local stories this evening from the KERA Newsroom: On Tuesday, several hundred immigrant kids from Central America are settling in to their temporary quarters at a church campground.

KERA’s Stella Chavez was one of the first reporters to get a look at the Lakeview Camp and Retreat Center.

As KERA’s One Crisis Away at the Holidays series wraps up, the story of a family starting from scratch this season.

You can listen to the top local news stories weekdays at 6:20 p.m. and 8:20 a.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
