Send us a textWhile we were on hiatus from producing episodes we had a number of passings that we want to comment on , both nationally, and locally here in the Myrtle Beach area of note. Over the next few days we will have two special editions mixed in with our regular series in order to honor these folks. In this episode we will look back at two people who were very close to me over the past two decades. Former Myrtle Beach City Clerk, Joan Grove , and former Surfside Beach Mayor Bob Childs. Two people who left an indelible mark on our small corner of the world here in South Carolina, where we produce these shows. Joan Grove was the City Clerk for two decades in Myrtle Beach, working with three different City Managers and four Mayors. She was the voice of the City Council every two weeks for our televised meetings as she read all the ordinances into the public record. More than that, Mrs. Grove was beloved by the city employees, elected officials, and residents alike. She took me under her wing when I first arrived as 30 year old councilman with no real travel experience to speak of and she made sure I got where I needed to be. We remained friends long after both of our time with the city was over. We will look back at her in this episode. Bob Childs, served in the United States Capitol long before he moved to Surfside Beach and ran for Council. He had stories to tell about every major figure of the last half of the 20th Century because he had served right beside them as they wandered around the Capitol. He moved to Surfside and became its Mayor, getting its finances in order, and accomplishing great things during his tenure. He was admired by all who knew him and we will be looking back at him in this episode as well. Finally, we will end this show as one of the most fun trivia questions of the age finally comes to a close. John Tyler, the 10th President of the United States who was born in 1790, and he had fifteen children. He had one of them when he was age 63. That son, Lyon Tyler, had a son at the age of 75. Harrison Tyler , who passed away  in June, was born in 1928, and he lived for 97 years. Which became one of the trivia worlds most fun questions. Who was the oldest living grandson of a President? The Tyler  family life spans over three generations that covers 235 years from 1790 to 2025. We will look back at the Tyler family tree as we bid farewell to a very nice man, Harrison Tyler, who I met one day while touring his home in Charles City County, Virginia.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

What does it take to help lead a city where 99% of residents rate it as an excellent/very good place to live? In this illuminating conversation, we sit down with Mike Barker, Dublin's new Deputy City Manager, as he reflects on his first 100 days in this crucial role.Barker brings a wealth of experience from his 11 years as Public Service Director in New Albany and his earlier career in Westerville and the private sector. His engineering background and problem-solving mindset prove valuable as he oversees Dublin's daily operations, including public service, engineering, transportation, and mobility.Barker shares candid insights about his first Memorial Tournament experience from the city's perspective, noting the surprising scale of the event and the seamless collaboration across city departments that makes such world-class events possible. This sets the stage for his approach to other major initiatives, including the Capital Improvement Program, West Innovation District, and Sports Ohio Complex.What stands out most is Barker's servant leadership philosophy. "That's really the leader I want to be," he explains, recounting formative experiences watching leaders who worked alongside their teams through challenges. This approach, combined with his commitment to maintaining Dublin's exceptional standards, offers a glimpse into how the city sustains its remarkable 99% resident satisfaction rating.The conversation takes personal turns as Barker discusses his Youngstown roots, crediting his wife of nearly 24 years and colleagues as mentors who've helped him develop more open-minded perspectives. A father of two baseball-playing sons, he finds his greatest relaxation watching them play.   Plus, stay tuned to hear Mike share with Lindsay and Bruce, his go-to karaoke songs!

This one's for anyone who's ever asked, “What the hell does a City Manager actually do?” I sat down with Bill Gambill, the City Manager of Manistee, and we went deep. Bill's a legit pro—master's degree in Public Administration from Wayne State, decades of experience in government, and the kind of guy who actually knows how cities really run behind the scenes.We talked about what it's like trying to manage a whole city—budgets, policies, infrastructure, dealing with the public, and yes… even politics. Bill's got sharp analytical skills and a calm, no-BS approach to leadership. He's not a politician—he's the guy making the machine run. This episode pulls back the curtain on city government in a way that's informative, eye-opening, and honestly, pretty damn fascinating.Whether you're into community development, politics, leadership, or just curious about how your town actually functions—this one's worth the listen.This episode was filmed and recorded in the Watson Motors Studio.

He walks listeners through the challenges and political gridlock leading up to the decision, as well as the long-term benefits that followed—including improved storm recovery and reliability through underground power lines.The conversation also covers the growing tension between public and private utilities, with Randy reflecting on the implications for other cities considering similar transitions. He and Steve discuss the broader importance of stable leadership—Randy has served Winter Park for 33 years—and the role of alternative revenue sources like municipal utilities in light of potential shifts in property tax policy.
