KMOX alum and former ABC 30 reporter Paul Brown joins Amy Marxkors and Michael Kelley in-studio to discuss the legend of the Ferris Wheel at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. Brown set out to find the remnants of the Wheel while reporting for ABC 30 in 1999 and actually dug up part of the edge of Forest park in a live newscast. He says the show was the highest rated in the history of that station's newscasts. Did he end up finding the elusive axle to the Ferris Wheel? "I was Geraldo Rivera on Al Capone's vault," jokes Brown. (Photo Courtesy: Paul Brown)

"Kom igjen, Sindre! Det blir gøy, jeg lover!"En: Astrid giggled. "Come on, Sindre! It'll be fun, I promise!"No: Lars klappet Sindre på skulderen. "Du kan klare det, Sindre. Tenk på utsikten!"En: Lars patted Sindre on the shoulder. "You can do it, Sindre. Think of the view!"No: Motvillig lot Sindre seg geleide mot Pariserhjulet.En: Reluctantly, Sindre let himself be guided toward the Ferris wheel.No: Det stod majestetisk mot vårhimmelen, den malte metallen glinset i solen.En: It stood majestically against the spring sky, the painted metal glinting in the sun.No: Han visste at han egentlig ikke ønsket dette, men Astrids opprømte ansikt var verdt det.En: He knew he didn't really want this, but Astrid's excited face was worth it.No: De klatret inn i kurven og satte seg.En: They climbed into the basket and sat down.No: Hjertet hans banket hardt da hjulet begynte å stige.En: His heart pounded as the wheel began to rise.No: Det gikk greit helt til Pariserhjulet plutselig stoppet, og kurven deres ble hengende høyt opp i luften.En: It went well until the Ferris wheel suddenly stopped, and their basket was left hanging high in the air.No: Sindre grep tak i kanten, og adrenalinet fløt som et fossefall gjennom kroppen hans.En: Sindre grabbed the edge, and adrenaline flowed like a waterfall through his body.No: "Er... er vi fast?" spurte han med en stemme som skarpet litt.En: "Are... are we stuck?" he asked in a voice that slightly sharpened.No: Astrid rynket pannen, men ble snart distrahert av utsikten.En: Astrid frowned but was soon distracted by the view.No: "Se, Sindre! Du kan se hele parken herfra!"En: "Look, Sindre! You can see the whole park from here!"No: "Det kommer til å starte igjen snart," sa Lars beroligende. "Bare ro deg ned."En: "It'll start again soon," Lars said reassuringly. "Just calm down."No: Sindre svelget hardt, han kunne ikke la frykten ta overhånd.En: Sindre swallowed hard; he couldn't let the fear take over.No: Han tenkte på Astrid, hun trengte at han holdt seg rolig.En: He thought about Astrid, she needed him to stay calm.No: "Hei, ser dere den isbilen der borte?" begynte han, og pekte raskt.En: "Hey, do you guys see that ice cream truck over there?" he began, pointing quickly.No: "Jeg skulle ønske de hadde fløteis med bringebær."En: "I wish they had vanilla ice cream with raspberry."No: Astrid lo. "Fløteis, Sindre? Virkelig? Jeg trodde du bare likte sjokolade!"En: Astrid laughed. "Vanilla ice cream, Sindre? Really? I thought you only liked chocolate!"No: Hjulpet av samtalen begynte Sindre å slappe litt av.En: Helped by the conversation, Sindre began to relax a little.No: De snakket om de rareste ting – favorittfilmer, tullete barndomsminner, hva hvis dyr kunne snakke.En: They talked about the strangest things – favorite movies, silly childhood memories, what if animals could talk.No: Med talen sittende fast i samtalen gled tiden overraskende raskt.En: With speech caught in conversation, the time slipped by surprisingly quickly.No: Endelig begynte Pariserhjulet å bevege seg igjen, sakte, men sikkert.En: Finally, the Ferris wheel began to move again, slowly but surely.No: Kurven danset ned mot bakken.En: The basket danced down toward the ground.No: Da de endelig nådde trygt ned, følte Sindre en bølge av lettelse skylle over ham.En: When they finally reached safely, Sindre felt a wave of relief wash over him.No: "Du klarte det, Sindre!" Astrid hoppet ut av kurven og ga ham en klem.En: "You did it, Sindre!" Astrid jumped out of the basket and gave him a hug.No: Sindre smilte, litt skjelvende, men glad.En: Sindre smiled, a little shaky, but happy.No: "Ja, det gjorde jeg visst," sa han, med en nyvunnet stolthet.En: "Yes, I guess I did," he said, with newfound pride.No: Kanskje, for første gang, følte han at høyder ikke var så skremmende som han hadde trodd.En: Perhaps, for the first time, he felt that heights weren't as frightening as he had thought.No: I løpet av dagen oppdaget Sindre at litt spontanitet ikke var så ille.En: Throughout the day, Sindre discovered that a little spontaneity wasn't so bad.No: Noen ganger var eventyret verdt det, selv om det innebar å møte noe så fryktelig som høyder.En: Sometimes the adventure was worth it, even if it involved facing something as terrifying as heights.

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: Ten Since Municipality Elections, But No Majority Coalition Yet Formed In ReykjavíkThe big winner of the Reykjavík municipality elections was The Independence Party. The party's slogan for the city elections was Strax-D or Immediately-D, yet 10 days after the election, with no new coalition in sight, voters may start to wonder what exactly “immediately” actually means.Iceland N-Korean Friendship Association Formed During PsychosisThe founder of the Iceland - North Korean Friendship Association told visir.is she had been in a pshcosis when the association was formed. Mia Marcelina Alexa Guðmundsdóttir founded the association back in 2022 along with a Sunneva Náttsól. According to Mia, she at that point, she supported extreme interpretation of communism. She now says, in a op-ed she published on visir.is, that psychosis had caused her to support extreme, simplified ideology, which she does not support anymore.Icelandair Flights Keep Getting CancelledNumerous Icelandair flights have been cancelled in the past days and weeks because of the airline being unable to get pilots to pilot their plains. While the pilots don't explicitly say why this is, on the face of it it looks to be a part of a debate between the airline and the pilots that work for it, with regards to Icelandair possibly moving parts of their operations abroad, probably to get out of the baggage of paying Icelandic salaries to crews.Do The Icelandic Fisheries Own Everything In Iceland?A new parliamentary report addresses the ownership of Icelandic fisheries in other sectors of the economy. However, the report has been reported for being too limited in its definitions of what is and isn't owned by the fisheries, and one parliamentarian said that the report only caught the “top of the Iceberg” that is that sectors ownership in Icelandic businesses.Nobody Wants A Ferris Wheel In Reykjavík, AgainDuring the past few summers, a ferries wheel has been operated by Reykjavík's harbor, to little enthusiasm by the locals, and what seems like little attendance. The mayor of Reykjavík has suggested that the ferries wheel should be put up yet again, but locals have started a petition to oppose the motion.The Synthetic Windpipe Scandal, Paolo Machiarini and IcelandA tort case filed by against the Icelandic state by the widow of Andemariams Teklesenbet Beyene, who had a synthetic trachea implant in Sweden in a procedure performed by Paolo Macchiarini in 2011, was concluded last week, with the widow winning the caseSupport the show------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTDonate to the Grapevine here:https://support.grapevine.isYou can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store:https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter. The magazine covers everything Iceland-related, with a special focus culture, music, food and travel.

Another week in the books & a long, holiday weekend coming right up! We should see the weather warm up to almost 80° by Sunday, and into the upper 80's by Memorial Day. And speaking of the upcoming holiday, we had a bunch of Memorial Day stats & info on the show this morning, including our favorite side dishes for our grill-out, an update on the holiday travel, and some things you may not know about Memorial Day. In the news this morning, the latest on the rampant fraud in Minnesota, the death of NASCAR legend Kyle Busch, parents who blindfolded their own children & abandoned them in the woods in Portugal, a teacher in #Florida has been fired after tying a makeshift noose around the neck of a black doll in her classroom, and the Wisconsin State Fair is going to debut a massive Ferris Wheel this year. In sports, the Brew Crew start a series against the Dodgers tonight, the Knicks beat the Cavs last night to take a 2-0 series lead, the eleven days off didn't help the Carolina Hurricanes as they got destroyed by Montreal last night in the NHL playoffs, the Bears definitely seem like they're leaving Chicago, the Indiana Fever get warned by the WNBA, and Kevin Harvick headlines the newest HOF class in NASCAR. We let you know what's on TV & in theaters this weekend. Plus, Ozzy may be dead…but there's a digital version of him coming in the near future. Elsewhere in sports, an Eagles linebacker gets popped for speeding & reckless driving, the St. Louis Cardinals now have a special "Tarps Off" section at their ballpark, and the Wienermobiles will once again race later today to kick off the Indy 500 weekend. In Denver, a K9 officer is calling it a career after helping to seize over $1 million in illegal narcotics during her career, and an officer in Tennessee is being recognized for his bravery after saving a family from a burning home. Doc joined us just after 8am for this week's Racing Report, courtesy of County Materials in Holmen & Eau Claire. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a former McDonald's manager who's in some legal trouble after contaminating her ex-gf's French fries, a couple renting an apartment in Michigan say their landlord came by to do some repairs and instead had sex with a woman in their living room, a #FloridaTeacher who encouraged students to slap a classmate for being too chatty, and another #FloridaTeacher who got wasted at school.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Idea: To build cheap sports stadiums with no upper deck and instead to surround the stadium with machines or rides to lift people up to view the game, such as cable cars, Ferris wheels, swing set swings that go straight up and down, etc. Also: drone vendors to bring food to people sitting in these machines; bussing the machines between stadiums (like a traveling carnival) based on ticket demand; lengthening time between innings or quarters to give people sitting in these machines more time come down and go pee; fun over-the-top ideas such as tour busses that become a row of seats, human pneumatic tubes, and giant balloons; the weird baseball stadium vendor accent vs. the Boston accent and discussing the Midwestern/Michigan accent Turbulence Tyme (facebook.com/Turbulencetyme instagram.com/turbulencetyme instagram.com/newworldcomedynwc) Dave Jones (facebook.com/comedian.davejones.5 instagram.com/comediandavejones New World Comedy on FB: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583085744240) Kate Doré (facebook.com/katredhatred instagram.com/katredhatred "3 Shots Down" Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0QEQZ8PIP6RaLorT0ZrckG?si=b3969fbb57144034) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

"Palisades Park" (from Wikipedia) Chuck Barris wrote a song about an amusement park and it was suggested he use the name of an amusement park as the title. One night he was in Manhattan when he looked toward the New Jersey Palisades Cliffs, on which the amusement park sat. That was when inspiration hit and the title was added. Years later the Palisades Amusement Park closed, on September 12, 1971.[2] A tribute to New Jersey's Palisades Amusement Park, it is an up-tempo rock and roll tune led by a distinctive organ part. The track also incorporates amusement park sound effects, including the sounds of screaming riders on the roller coasters, and the quoting of a slower version of "Entrance of the Gladiators", played on an organ imitating a hurdy-gurdy or calliope. In the song, the singer takes a walk after dark and discovers Palisades Park, where he meets and falls in love with a girl. Among the list of rides and attractions listed in the song are: Shoot the Chute, Rocket Ship, Roller Coaster, Loop the Loop, Merry Go Round, Tunnel of Love, and the Ferris Wheel. Chart performanceReleased by Swan Records as a B-side to "June, July and August," "Palisades Park" broke in when a Flint, Michigan radio DJ played it by mistake. It peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 23–30 June 1962,[3] On the Hot R&B Sides chart, the song went to #15.[4] "Palisades Park" was the biggest hit of Cannon's career.[5] And, check out Freddy Cannon's webpage: https://www.freddycannon.com/default.htm

In 1894 Jacob Coxey decided to take thousands of unemployed and March on Washington. Well, that was just the prequel to 1964 March for Civil Rights. But it's how A. Philip Randolph was indoctrinated to the idea. And crazily this store involves both Mark Twain and Jack London, in addition to Pullman Porters, the Ferris Wheel, Eugene V Debs, the May Day Riots, Frederick Douglass, and even the Statue of Liberty.

The Esplanade development finally broke ground in Chateau, after nearly a decade of planning, which means we're one step closer to a permanent Ferris Wheel on the North Side. Plus, there are fresh hopes and dreams for Station Square now that a new developer is taking over. Host Megan Harris, executive producer Mallory Falk, and producer Sophia Lo discuss what they'd like to see on the riverfront site, why alcohol sales are dipping in PA (and why Pennsylvanians can't get enough of Fireball and pink lemonade vodka), and why you'll soon see driverless taxis cruising down city streets.

1. INTRO Music bed: Upbeat country intro music J.R..: “Tampa Bay's hometown morning krewe — J.R., Launa, and Kevin here on Commercial Free New Country, 99.5 QYK!” Kevin: “Big news today, folks — and this one's stirring up some opinions!” 2. TOPIC INTRO — THE BIG NEWS J.R.: “The observation wheel over water has officially been approved by the Tampa City Council.”Kevin: “That's right — Tampa's getting a giant Ferris wheel downtown!”Details: $20 million project, built over water, privately funded. 3. INITIAL REACTIONSJ.R.. (playful): “Launa's pumped — she'll be first in line to ride it, right?”Launa (flatly): “Nope.”Launa's take: Thinks it'll look “trashy” and “out of place.”Kevin: “To be fair, it's privately funded — no taxpayer money.”J.R..: “Still, not sure it fits the downtown vibe.” 4. THE DEBATE — AESTHETICS & VALUELauna: “They just cleaned that whole area up — it's trendy, classy, modern — and now we're adding a carnival ride?”Kevin: “Exactly. Feels kind of Carney.”J.R.: “And it's probably going to be, what, $25 a ride?”Launa: “Right! For $20 million, they could've built something really cool.”Kevin: “Like, something unique to Tampa instead of copying Orlando's Eye.” 5. COMPARISONS & CONTEXTLauna: “If we wanted a Ferris wheel, we'd just go to Orlando.”J.R.: “Or wait for the Florida State Fair.”Kevin: “True. Wonder how many people actually ride the one in Orlando these days?”J.R.: “Good question — I'm sure they did the research.” 6. WRAP-UP & FINAL THOUGHTSLauna: “Sorry, still think it's dumb.”J.R.: “A Ferris wheel over water — downtown Tampa — you're not sold?”Kevin (laughing): “Guess not. But hey, it's happening!”J.R.: “We'll see how it looks once it's up. Maybe we'll all eat our words.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

en mössa som tillhörde deras försvunna vän och en anteckning med ett meddelande som bara deras saknade vän skulle kunna skriva.En: Inside, they found more clues—a hat belonging to their missing friend and a note with a message that only their missing friend could have written.Sv: Med deras nyfunna bevis gick de till polisen som snabbt kunde återförena dem med deras vän.En: With their newfound evidence, they went to the police, who quickly reunited them with their friend.Sv: Den osäkerhet som lagt en tung vikt på Lukas axlar lättades, och han kände sig stärkt av sina vänners trofasthet.En: The uncertainty that had placed a heavy burden on Lukas's shoulders was lifted, and he felt strengthened by his friends' loyalty.Sv: Han hade varit modig, men hade också lärt sig vikten av att tänka framåt och göra kloka beslut.En: He had been brave but had also learned the importance of thinking ahead and making wise decisions.Sv: När den stjärnklara natten föll över hans hemstad Stockholm ekade ljudet av deras framgång genom Gröna Lund.En: As the starry night fell over his hometown Stockholm, the sound of their success echoed through Gröna Lund.Sv: De hade löst mysteriet, och även om hjulet fortfarande stod tyst och tomt, hade det blivit en symbol för deras osvikliga vänskap och mod.En: They had solved the mystery, and although the wheel still stood silent and empty, it had become a symbol of their unwavering friendship and courage.Sv: Sanden under hjulet fångade det sista ljuset från dagen, och i det ljuset knöt Lukas, Maja och Erik om sina vänskapsband starkare än någonsin.En: The sand beneath the wheel captured the last light of the day, and in that light, Lukas, Maja, and Erik strengthened their bonds of friendship stronger than ever.Sv: Tillsammans hade de överkommit rädslan och hittat sanningen, och därmed inleddes en ny början för dem alla.En: Together, they had overcome fear and found the truth, marking a new beginning for them all.

Thoughts from the Top of A Ferris Wheel presents :: "The Tank" "Blair Does Scary Movie"

We're on location at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds for a special Do Politics Better episode with NC Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. From the smell of fried food to the sound of ferris wheels spinning, Commissioner Troxler shares what makes the State Fair one of North Carolina's most beloved traditions — and why it's a powerful showcase for the state's $100 billion agriculture industry. We talk about the state of farming in North Carolina, his concerns about the loss of farmland, and that memorable moment when he was asked to run for Governor. Plus, Skye and Brian unpack a busy week in North Carolina politics — including the announcement that the General Assembly is redrawing congressional maps, the latest on Rep. Cecil Brockman's criminal allegations, a split-decision court ruling, candidate news, and much more. It's a fun, fairground conversation that blends policy, politics, and fried food. The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, the NC Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association, the NC Pork Council, and the NC Healthcare Association.

It's interesting to consider what makes a bad day, bad. What makes a good day, good. To mark the circumstances that contribute to what we would consider a good or bad life. It's also interesting to consider how often I equate the state of my circumstances with the presence and love of God. If things are good, God must be present and active in my life, right? And if things are bad, well, the opposite must be true. Sound familiar? Today, we're exploring what Jesus might have to say by digging a little bit deeper into the Beatitudes. Listen in!

On episode 407, we hear a handful of UFO sightings and encounters from listeners. From a black triangle hovering silently over Texas to a Ferris Wheel-like object spinning across the skies of Massachusetts. From bizarre and intelligent lights dancing over Scotland to highly strange dream-like encounters in England. These are witness accounts that span decades and countries straight from the hearts, minds, and voices of those who experienced them.Special thanks to Laura, Walter, Anne, Joshua, and Brett for sharing your stories.
