On July 31st, the seven Metro councilors will vote to borrow $88.5 million to help pay for five transit projects that include “road diets” in and around Portland. Once approved, Metro will have to repay the loan until 2039.To obtain the $88.5 million now, Metro will pay $140 million in principal and interest over the next 14 years. That's nearly $50 million lost to debt service, money the agency can't spend on capital investments or region-wide programs. Which projects are so urgent that Metro councilors are willing to lose $50 million? One is a 0.65-mile streetcar extension on NW 23rd Avenue, Portland, a route already served by buses. Most of the budget for that project would actually go to purchase a new fleet of streetcars to be used elsewhere.Another project shrinks 82nd Avenue from a four-lane highway to two lanes for cars, and restricts the outer lanes to TriMet buses for up to seven miles.A third project is a new Burnside Bridge, with fewer lanes than it currently has, while keeping the bus-only lane. This leaves only one eastbound lane for 45,000 people who use the bridge daily. As it is, the bridge consistently backs up for blocks during rush hour. Taking away a lane for traffic will make congestion much worse on Burnside.If you don't agree with these proposed road diets and mounting debt service, let your Metro councilor know at this week's council meeting on July 31st at 10:30.

Wilkins & Olander has been a familiar name to local residents, particularly in Sturgeon Bay, since the clothing store opened its doors in 1990. Now in its 35th year, the store is owned by Dawn Fischer, who took over from her stepmother, Carol Overland, who died in 2019. In April, the Door County Economic Development Corporation honored Fischer with its Light Keeper Award for women, minority or veteran-owned business of the year. She joins Myles Dannhausen Jr. on the podcast to talk about her business, the evolution of 3rd Avenue, and the lessons she learned from Carol Overland.

Carolyn Sideco's story begins in The Philippines. Her dad, Tony Sideco, was born on the island of Cebu in 1938. Her mom, Linda, was born in Paniqui in 1942. By the time Carolyn's mom was born, the Japanese occupied The Philippines. Young Tony worked for the electric company, which sent him to Paniqui. He soon met his wife-to-be there when he boarded at Carolyn's grandmother's house. It wasn't an overnight romance. The way Tony (who joined his wife in the room with me and Carolyn as we recorded) tells it, he had eyed Linda for so long that he went cross-eyed. Linda was her parents' first daughter, and she came after five older brothers. So she was always afforded chaperones. After Linda, her parents had three more girls. One of those girls, Carolyn's aunt, lives next-door to where we recorded, a tradition of intergenerationality the family carried with them when they migrated to the US. Tony came to the United States first in the late Sixties, shortly after Carolyn and her twin sister were born. His migration was motivated by the so-called “American dream.” Carolyn's version is different, though. She thinks it had more to do with the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which effectively did away with nationality quotas. By the time Tony arrived, several members of both his and his wife's family were already here, many of them in the Outer Sunset. When baby Carolyn, her sister, and their mom arrived, they first lived on 45th Avenue in The Sunset with her aunt and uncle. Then the family moved to 39th Avenue to be on their own. This was the house that Carolyn grew up in, and the one we recorded this podcast in. A community of Paniquieños already existed all around them. In hindsight, Carolyn thinks it was a lot easier for folks like her parents to move halfway around the world because they landed, in essence, in an expat community. Her mom didn't have to learn English so urgently when she arrived, to cite just one example. Several of those families are still around, spread around the North Peninsula. Some also still live in San Francisco, like Carolyn. Carolyn talks about various aspects of her life that now, in hindsight as an adult, meant she rarely felt different from those around her. She says that in her adult life, meeting folks her parents' age who didn't have the same accent as her parents really opened her eyes. Today, Carolyn is the president of Paniquieñans USA, an organization as old as she is. Then we get back to Carolyn's personal story. Her and her twin, Rosalyn, joined their mom to go to the US when they were two. She shares a cute story of how their mom loved a party so much that she would celebrate their birthday every second day of the month (their birthday is Feb. 2). Because of this, Carolyn grew up thinking that birthdays happen every month. She was five when her family moved out of her uncle and aunt's place on 45th and into their childhood home on 39th Avenue, and Carolyn remembers it well. We talk briefly about the real estate agent who sold them the house and how little they paid (“$24,000,” Tony Sideco, who was in the room with us that day, chimes in—that's the equivalent of roughly $173K today). Linda Sideco found work at Little Sisters of the Poor Convalescent Home on Lake Street, where Carolyn would sometimes visit her. Both of Carolyn's parents worked graveyard shifts. The young couple were able to save for a year for the down payment on their new home. We take a sidebar for Carolyn to talk about the difference in how service and healthcare work are valued in The Philippines vs. how they're valued in the US. Carolyn then shares a story of how, when she was in the fourth grade, she and her twin sister started going to a new school in their neighborhood. Prior to this, they were bussed. At her new school, they asked Carolyn if she wanted to play volleyball. But to join the team, she needed to pay five dollars. She ran four blocks home to ask her mom for the money, but turns out she wouldn't give it to young Carolyn, who was so upset that she cried until her mom relented. She did well at volleyball and even made friends through her new sport. She felt so good about it all that she thought, ‘This is why dad brought us here.' It was the beginning of what would become a lifelong involvement with sports. We end Part 1 with Carolyn's foray into many different sports and all the women along the way who inspired her. Check back next week for Part 2 and the official last episode of Season 7 of Storied: San Francisco. We recorded this podcast at Carolyn's childhood home in The Sunset in June 2025.

Gary and Mike also explore the uneasy dance between lawmen and mobsters—a world where unexpected moments of mutual respect could coexist with threats of violence. Mike shares stories of face-to-face encounters with figures like Rusty Rastelli of the Bonanno Family, offering rare insights into how respect, fear, and human decency sometimes blurred the lines between hunter and hunted. The episode dives even deeper into the chase for Alphonse “Allie Boy” Persico of the Colombo Family. Mike recounts the painstaking hours of investigation, the calculated street-level work, and the tension that came with tracking a fugitive deeply embedded in a culture of secrecy and retribution. His personal stories illuminate how local knowledge and personal relationships can make or break a case. This conversation crosses borders, too. Mike recalls his work in Sicily, where American and Italian law enforcement collaborated to disrupt crime syndicates that spanned the Atlantic. From tense raids to split-second tactical decisions, these stories reveal the global scope of the mob and the relentless pursuit of those who hunt them. Throughout the episode, Mike doesn't shy away from the psychological cost of the job, navigating threats from criminal networks while maintaining unbreakable bonds with fellow officers. He reflects on these life-changing experiences in his book, Adapt and Overcome, which he describes as part memoir, part raw look at the human side of life on the front lines of America's war against organized crime. For true crime fans, mob history buffs, or anyone fascinated by the delicate balance of law enforcement in high-risk territory, this episode is packed with vivid stories and personal reflections that remind us what it truly takes to track—and confront—the mob.

DALTON BIOGRAPHY Lacy J. Dalton (born Jill Lynne Byrem on October 13, 1946 in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania), is an American country singer and songwriter with a career that has spanned many decades and touched the hearts of millions of music fans. In March 2017 Lacy J Dalton was inducted into the North American Country Music Association International Hall of Fame, and in 2022 she was awarded a Lifetime Career Achievement Award from the Josie Music Awards, the largest independent music awards show in the country.   She's one of the most instantly recognizable voices in music – the woman People Magazine called “Country's Bonnie Raitt.” From the first time Lacy J Dalton caught the public's ear, that soulful delivery, full of texture and grit, has been a mainstay of Country Music. When you sit to listen to a Lacy J Dalton album, you find yourself pulled in by the very power and heart of this vocalist, because she's not merely performing a ten-song set, she's bringing each and every tune to life. It's as if they were all written especially for her.   Prior to recording with Harbor Records in 1978 as Jill Croston, she like many before her, held many jobs to survive and support her family. As a truck stop waitress and singer, she would wait tables and then take the stage to sing a few songs. In June 1979, Lacy J Dalton was signed by Columbia Records and quickly rose to national prominence with Crazy Blue Eyes, which she wrote with her longest friend, Mary McFadden, and which raced to #7 on the Billboard Country Charts.  Her hard work and dedication paid off in 1979 when she was awarded the Academy of Country Music's Top New Female Vocalist of the Year.   Lacy's success was powered not just by the artist's recordings, but by a stage show that truly electrified audiences. She quickly became one of the few women who could successfully open a show for the likes of Hank Williams, Jr., Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard or Charlie Daniels. Not only could she do it, but she left audiences across the country hollering for more. Her signature song 16th Avenue, became the Anthem for Nashville songwriters.  Her other hit records are legendary million-airplay cuts and include Crazy Blue Eyes, Takin' It Easy, Everybody Makes Mistakes, Hillbilly Girl with the Blues, Hard Times, and the worldwide hit Black Coffee.   In addition to her Top New Female Vocalist award, she also brought home numerous Grammy nominations and 3 prestigious, back to back (1979, 1980, 1981) Bay Area Music Awards for Best Country-Folk Recordings. Lacy appeared on those shows with the likes of Neil Young, The Grateful Dead, Grace Slick and the Jefferson Airplane.   Lacy's collaboration with Willie Nelson on his platinum Half Nelson CD was a high spot for her. Lacy is the only woman featured on that recording (which included singing legends Ray Charles, Neil Diamond, Merle Haggard, Julio Iglesias, George Jones, Leon Russell, Carlos Santana, Mel Tillis, Hank Williams Sr., and Neil Young), and was awarded a Platinum Record for it. She also received a Gold Record from Hank Williams Jr. in 1985 for her support performances throughout his Five-0 Tour, where she opened for him at a time when it was unusual for a woman to do so. Her career includes accomplishments in music, film and radio.  In music, they range from her instantly recognizable charted hit songs to her notable duets recorded with George Jones, Willie Nelson, Bobby Bare, Glen Campbell, Eddie Rabbit, David Allen Coe and many others. Her film debut was in the motion picture Take This Job And Shove It, and her acting has also included live stage and theater performances. Until recently, Lacy J Dalton also hosted a weekly radio show called Mustang Matters.  Podcasts of past shows are available to listeners on the internet at www.americamatters.us   Following a successful career in country music, Lacy decided to draw on all her musical experiences including country, rock and folk, and cross over into the Americana genre.  This blend of musical styles allows her to express herself in a way that demonstrates all the facets of who she is as a singer/songwriter.  She became an independent artist and formed her own label called Song Dog Records.  Under this label, she has released three albums to date.  The first was Wild Horse Crossing in 1999, followed by the Last Wild Place Anthology which went #1 on the World Independent Chart, and a year later went #1 on the American Western Music Chart. Then Allison Eastwood, Clint Eastwood's daughter, used the hit song Slip Away from the Anthology CD on the sound track of her independent film, Don't Tell. In 2010 Lacy also released a tribute to Hank Williams Sr. entitled Here's To Hank.   Today, Lacy continues to record new music and perform live shows whenever possible.  She tours mainly west of the Mississippi and loves small boutique venues and old theaters with great sound quality and warm, receptive audiences she can really connect with.  She recently recorded some electrifying new music for an EP that was released in January 2019.  When hearing the signature song Scarecrow, her good friend Reverend Barbara Ann Fletcher remarked “that song makes you a whole new you, and it makes me a whole new me.”  And that's exactly the response Lacy was hoping for.  In 2024 Lacy released an album titled For The Black Sheep, a collection of songs with meaningful lyrics and messages of unity and acceptance for all of us.   In addition to her musical career, Lacy has been involved in various service projects through several charitable organizations – namely, the Let ‘em Run Foundation, William James Associates Arts in Corrections, and Rotary International.

TriMet has a new “road diet” planned for Portland, this time on 82nd Avenue. Working with Metro, TriMet is proposing a transit corridor entirely dedicated to buses. They plan to dedicate bus-only lanes, up and down both sides of the street, shrinking 82nd from a four-lane avenue down to a two-lane road for up to seven miles—from Clackamas Town Center to Portland's Cully neighborhood.The project claims that bus-only lanes are only one of the options as part of ongoing conversations, but the most recent Metro mockup on the future of 82nd Avenue prominently prioritizes “BAT lanes” (Business Access and Transit lanes) as the locally preferred alternative (LPA).By cutting car lanes in half, the bus-only lanes will increase congestion substantially. According to TriMet's own estimates, adding these lanes would cause up to 25 percent of drivers to divert from their routes to avoid traffic. Those diversions will put more stress on residential streets and neighborhoods, requiring additional safety features and maintenance. In the same document, TriMet states these new bus-only lanes will save transit riders three or four minutes at most. That's with seven straight miles of bus lanes.The purpose of 82nd Avenue—also known as Highway 213—is to move as many people and vehicles as possible from point A to point B. What moves more people: a lane that allows both cars and buses, or a lane that only allows buses?Metro Council is scheduled to consider bond funding for 82nd avenue and four other projects on July 31. Metro should eliminate bus-only “BAT lanes” from any further consideration as part of the 82nd Avenue Transit Project.

This week, Rob and Ryan dive into the world of digital accessibility with special guest Noah Senecal-Junkeer, Co-founder of Easy Surf. Noah shares his deeply personal journey living with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, and how his own challenges using tools like speech recognition software inspired him to help reshape digital access for others. They discuss how Easy Surf is changing the game, literally. From website audits to playtesting video games, Easy Surf's team of testers with lived experience is proving that accessibility is better when it's built-in from the start, not bolted on later. They also tackle the real-world limitations of current tech, and how emerging tools like AI could redefine what accessible digital experiences look like. Whether you're a developer, a gamer, or someone just trying to make the digital world more inclusive, this episode is packed with insight, inspiration, and the reminder that accessibility is innovation.

When you talk about iconic Australian singer-songwriters, it doesn't take long before Richard Clapton's name comes up. For over five decades, Richard has been one of Australia's true rock poets — the kind of artist whose songs become part of people's lives, the soundtrack to long road trips, beach holidays, and nostalgic nights on the back deck with a cold beer in hand.Born on Sydney's north shore, Richard grew up like a lot of kids — dreaming of music that took him beyond suburbia. In the late 60s and early 70s, Richard packed up and headed for Europe, guitar slung over his shoulder, busking in the streets and absorbing the counterculture that was blooming across the continent. When he returned, Richard brought with him a suitcase full of songs and stories that reflected not just his travels but the changing face of Australia itself. In '73, he released his debut single Last Train to Marseilles. But it was his '75 album Girls on the Avenue that really made people sit up and listen. The title track turned Richard Clapton into a household name almost overnight.Through the mid-to-late '70s, Richard released a string of albums that are now regarded as cornerstones of classic Australian rock music. Richard carved out a loyal audience that followed him from smoky inner-city pubs to big festival stages. His songs were — and still are — snapshots of the Australian psyche: romantic but real, hopeful but tinged with a knowing sadness.But Richard didn't just write for himself. He became a sort of elder statesman for the Aussie rock scene, helping to mentor up-and-coming acts that would soon become legends themselves. Bands like INXS, Cold Chisel, and Mental As Anything all found a kindred spirit in Richard, whose lyrics and attitude proved you could write songs about Australian life that were poetic, gritty, and universal all at once. He even produced INXS's second album, helping shape the band's early sound before they broke big internationally.If you've ever seen Richard Clapton live, you'll know that he's the real deal. His voice — warm, slightly weathered, and instantly recognisable — carries the weight of decades on the road and in the studio. He has that easy rapport with an audience that only comes from years of standing on a stage, guitar in hand, telling stories through song. For many Australians, his gigs are like a reunion with an old friend — everyone singing along to Girls on the Avenue or swaying to Deep Water as if no time has passed at all.What makes Clapton's story so compelling is that he never really chased fame for fame's sake. He's always seemed more interested in writing the next great song than chasing trends. And yet, he's ended up as one of the true pillars of Australian rock, a fact recognised when he was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 1999.Today, well into his seventies, Richard Clapton is still out there doing what he loves most — writing songs, recording new music, and hitting the road to play to crowds who still know every word. In recent years, he's released new albums like Harlequin Nights and Music Is Love (1966–1970), a tribute to the songs and artists that shaped him, from Bob Dylan to Neil Young. His autobiography, The Best Years of Our Lives, published in 2015, pulls back the curtain on decades of wild gigs, unforgettable characters, and the hard-won wisdom that comes from surviving the ups and downs of the music industry.And yet, for all the tours, albums, and accolades, it's the songs that matter most. Ask any fan what Richard Clapton means to them, and you'll likely hear a story about summer days driving up the coast or seeing him live for the first time.In an industry that's constantly changing, Richard Clapton stands as a reminder that great music is timeless. Singer-songwriter, rock poet, mentor, and living legend Richard Clapton joins us here to share his stoires. Check the website for gigs near you.

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. INTRODUCTION: One of the main needs we have as believers is a real, interactive relationship with the Lord. The Lord views prayer as a way of creating a relationship with each of us. Unfortunately, a lot of the teaching on prayer does not give enough emphasis to God's desire for the relationship, so prayers reduce down to our own personal needs. There is nothing wrong with seeking God for our needs; prayer is really an opportunity to expand beyond that. SHOW NOTES: We need to seek a relationship with the Lord, if we want to truly be able to talk with Him, You can have a connection, as with a father, where you can present a situation before Him in order to learn what is His perfect will in that situation. Reciting the Lord's Prayer can be a very effective way of praying, if done thoughtfully as in worship. As we mature in our relationship with the Lord, our prayers can be led by the Holy Spirit to pray more for others and the kingdom of God. QUOTATIONS: The Lord answers us when we seek Him...as we listen for His voice. People think that prayer has everything to do with receiving something from God, and I don't think that's the truth....I think prayer actually is an avenue of creating a deeper relationship with you and Him. The whole prayer that Christ taught isn't all about you or about you receiving; it's basically worship to the Lord, creating a relationship with Him, then you receive. As you develop your relationship with Him, you find out you don't have to ask for things because He already knows what you need before you even ask. I think our prayers change too. They get off the self-centered prayers and they begin to pray for your brothers, your sisters, for His kingdom, for things that He, the Holy Spirit, leads you to pray for. As we approach God in prayer, Number One, we submit our hearts to Him, we give Him our hearts, Think about how Jesus prayed in the garden: He absolutely had a relationship with the Father and when He was praying, He said,” Is there another way, Father” He had enough of a relationship that He could say, “dad, I know that's what You want Me to do, but is there another way? Nevertheless, not what I will, not what I want.”

From music and spreading the Gospel to transforming prayer and lessons from sports...this episode of "Run The Race" has it all. A ministry serving West GA and East AL is rebranding from "Take The City" to "Harvest Movement." Their leader is this week's guest, Jeremy Northington sharing about that transition and the Biblical meaning of the new name...plus his past prodigal sinful ways leading to a life-changing moment in a new prayer closet...and how fatherhood, sports, fitness are changing his lifestyle lately. (2:20) Following my own call from God, I first talk about a meaningful song, on the radio these day, and even sing my version of "Flowers," to hopefully uplift you when going through difficult times. Then, learn a lot more about this ministry leader. (9:27) Harvest Movement's new President talks about the evolution from outreach to more missional opportunities that include coffee, restoring lives, revitalizing communities. What if it's awkward to talk to strangers about Jesus? Jeremy had that same fear and explains how their ministry gets you ready in a non-intimidating way to fulfil our mission. there will be a Harvest Rebrand open house and celebration with worship, food, drink this Saturday July 12 (from 10am-2pm) at 2910 2nd Avenue in Columbus GA. Find out more about the nonprofit, how to get involved and support them at https://www.harvestmovement.org/. (19:58) As a rebellious teen, Jeremy strayed from the Lord - alcohol, drugs, sex - then had a moment in 2016, while desperate and broken, that led him to create a prayer closet. Hear his powerful testimony of transformation! (28:25) Along with starting a business a decade ago, Jeremy really loves being a dad, which also leads to him coaching his son. He talks about sports correlating with ministry. (37:56) And now he's on a new fitness and health journey, feeling like God's calling him to eat better and be in better shape - to be able to achieve all that the Lord has planned for Jeremy. Time to say Yes to the Holy Spirit! (47:17) And he closes us in prayer. Thanks for listening to the #RunTheRace podcast, which I hope you'll subscribe to! Share it with your friends.

The devotees, on the other hand, are carefree because they've already signed everything over to the Supreme Personality of Godhead but it's not tyāga, it's virakti, because as they engage in this process, 'paramayā mudāh,' of serving the Lord, they feel happiness. They feel pleasure. It's happier over on our side of the street, because we get to engage directly in chanting the holy name, or it may be happier on their side. Who knows? Because, as we heard this morning after the verse, naiṣātiduḥsahā kṣun māṁ tyaktodam api bādhate pibantaṁ tvan-mukhāmbhoja- cyutaṁ hari-kathāmṛtam (ŚB 10.1.13) Then comes 'vāsudeva-kathā-praśnaḥ puruṣāṁs trīn punāti hi vaktāraṁ pracchakaṁ śrotṝṁs tat-pāda-salilaṁ yathā' (ŚB 10.1.16). Just as the Ganges purifies the whole universe. So similarly, the sound vibration that comes from Krishna, kathā or chanting Hare Krishna, it purifies three kinds of people. The people who are chanting, they get the most credit—that's there in the commentary. The one who's speaking or chanting, they get the most credit (If you want to get extra credit). then next is the people who are listening, and third is everybody else who gets hit. As Nirākula's Mother used to say, because she had a lot of kids, and they'd fight in the backseat of the car, as she was driving, she would say to them, "If you don't settle down in a moment, I'm going to turn around and swing and I don't care who I hit, Joan." And similarly, the holy name doesn't really care who He hits. If you're out on the Avenue and you're chanting, He's going to hit you. In fact, last night, I was appreciating the dogs. I saw at least three dogs go by and, yeah, dogs are very loyal animals they stick with their masters. So they were out for a walk with their master or mistress, and as they walked along, I mean, the person just walked him by the Harinām, that's not our fault. They could have taken another route. And the dogs seemed a little taken aback by the sound vibration, but as they were going by, I was envisioning a sort of car wash where the soul goes through and the cycles unfold, and that animal, who's actually a spirit soul in a dog's body, got cleansed from hearing the sound vibration of the holy name. That's verified in the sixth canto of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. What could be more fun than that? Take your dog through the car wash. He walks by and a little dog, startled by the sound, but you know, you're pulling him through, and he comes out with the holy name in his ears, albeit dog ears. The holy name goes right to the soul. What to speak of the people who could envision fun? ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------

Day 33 -- Veteran's For Peace "Fast for Gaza." This will be the final of the "Fast for Gaza" conversations with peacemaker Kathy Kelly. It was the beginning of a brutal heat wave in NYC; we found a shady spot on the UN side of 1st Avenue. On the opposite side a small group of fasting protestors held signs and umbrellas.Kathy and I talked about her 2004 book "Other Lands Have Dreams: From Baghdad to Pekin Prison" -- focusing on the chapter "Change Agents" -- when she was visited in Pekin Prison by two FBI agents. Kathy talks about the families and children she got to know during her many visits to Iraqi hospitals during the decades-long UN / US sanctions on Iraq. UNICEF reported that 500,000 children under the age of five died between 1991 and 1998 due to those sanctions. Kelly's "Voices in the Wilderness" worked to bring medical supplies to those beleaguered people.The music in this program is “Hiroshima Rising from the Abyss" performed by the Toshiko Akiyoshi / Lew Tabackin Jazz Band, featuring drummer Andy Watson.Alan Winsonbarcrawlradio@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Ride reports. Boy have we got them. Emma took a trip up to the Avenue of the Giants on her trusty RF800, aka 'Rufus' where she encountered a frightful situation. Scottie rode up to Washington for the Dreamroll rally, where apparently everyone rides topless.

“If this is to be a skyscraper… why not make it scrape the sky.”  This is the story of the race for the tallest building in New York City—in the world.  Erstwhile partners-turned-bitter rivals, architects William Van Alen and Craig Severance are both looking to build the tallest skyscraper in New York City. William is working with automobile titan Walter Chrysler to build his Chrysler Building; Craig is working with George Ohrstrom, a.k.a., the “Boy Wonder” of Wall Street”, to build the Manhattan Company Building at 40 Wall Street. It's a battle of engineering, wits, zoning, and egos, as each alters their plans with money being no object in the fight to construct the taller (and tallest) skyscraper in the world. But as these two rival teams duke it out, the city's beloved Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on 5th Avenue is going under. Something new is rising there—something that just might prove a late entry and dark horse winner in this race with… a mooring mast for airships at the top?
