On Friday's show: We talk with Erin Douglas of the Texas Tribune about an investigation into the aftermath of the 2019 ITC chemical fire in Deer Park. Also this hour: From a massive blob of seaweed that could be coming to Galveston beaches soon, to the ingredients of a Houston Matters-themed pizza at Saint Arnold, our panel of "non-experts" weighs in on The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week. Then, five years ago, three police officers were implicated in an illegal gambling ring in Chinatown. Now, a native of that same neighborhood has made a movie about it using grant money from the city. And it stars an HPD officer. We talk with director Quoc Tan Ly Huynh, who goes by Q.T. Ly. And, this weekend, Houston will participate in the City Nature Challenge, which involves residents using a mobile app to document and identify plants and animals in their neighborhoods.
Houston is one of the most diverse cities in the country with a large population of Chinese residents who have helped to contribute to thriving commercial corridors such as Asiatown near Bellaire and Asiantown near Katy. How would SB 147 -- a proposed law barring citizens and companies from China, Russia, North Korea and Iran from buying real estate in Texas-- impact the Chinese population in Houston? What effects might we see on residential and commercial real estate? Looped In co-hosts Marissa Luck and R.A.

Karis Tzeng is a VP of Planning at Midtown Cleveland where she works on many projects for the district including the stewardship of AsiaTown. If you think of AsiaTown as a place to "get take out" you are missing so much...from an array of Pan-Asian foods spanning multiple cuisines and cultures, to art and history, and distinct traditions that arrived with each wave of immigration. We talk about the Lunar New Year, which is celebrated for roughly two weeks. It's the Year of the Rabbit, signifying fertility, luck and creativity. If you went down to Asia Plaza for the start of the festival you saw lots of little kids in rabbit ears, ladies dressed in beautiful red clothing, and maybe you saw the Kwan Family do their Lion Dances. Most Asian cultures celebrate the Lunar New Year, but with differing customs and foods. Fortunately, Cleveland's AsiaTown reflects that diversity, which is part of its uniqueness. Aldous Lau is the owner of Ball Ball Waffle, a Hong Kong Street Food that you will want to try. He shares a bit of his story and then makes me my first waffle! This episode is presented by Real Food Remedy (formerly Perfectly Imperfect Produce) and The Katz Group of Restaurants,
The fellas discuss bowling league memories, Conference Tournament Bobby, Cleveland State making the dance, surviving in the 13th century, the much-anticipated Snyder cut, Ginny and Georgia, being a pushover on Shark Tank, watching every shot of Richy Werenski, round three of stimulus checks, the history of AsiaTown in Cleveland, and the overanalysis of life.

In this meeting the boys plan the park's zones, or 'areas' - 6 different regions of Footballland, titled UEFA-Land, ConMeBol Close, ConCaCaCaCaCaf Cul-de-Sac, Oceania Archipelago, Place de Caf and AsiaTown. Each region will have a giant statue of the person that represents their region the best.

This is exactly how they plan your Disneys, your Thorpe Parks and your Alton Towers of this world. A must listen for students and the curious.

Councilman Basheer Jones was elected to represent Ward 7 in November 2017, becoming the city's first Muslim council representative. He represents an area which includes the historic Hough district, as well as the St. Clair-Superior, Midtown, and AsiaTown neighborhoods. During his tenure, Councilman Jones led the charge for Cleveland to recognize Indigenous People's Day and called for reforms at the Cuyahoga County Jail. Most recently, he was one of the sponsors of a new resolution declaring racism a public health crisis in Cleveland.
