Artist to create 'living museum' in Newburgh The first delivery of 24 tons of Vermont marble landed on the Newburgh waterfront earlier this month - the yellow crane and rockpile marking the start of a new sculpture park is visible from Beacon. Rhea Marmentini, 46, secured a five-year lease to create and curate a 2-acre Marmentini Living Museum just inside the fence at the Regal Bag factory complex. This is the first steppingstone in grand expansion plans envisioned by the artist and Bank Art Gallery, up the hill at Broadway and Liberty Street. Marmentini wants to place a string of mythical, mystical creatures from Governor's Island in New York Harbor (where she had a residency) upriver to whatever locales are receptive. She also works with granite on the waterfront in Athens, in Greene County. Newburgh is the concept's nucleus, and when the weather warms up, Marmentini will don ear and eye protection to wield a handheld grinder with artificial-diamond saw blades and shape shards of stone into her quirky works - although 24 tons of marble, the largest load that a flatbed truck can carry, looks larger in the mind's eye. "We're expecting a lot more deliveries," she says. Born in Hungary and raised in Spain, Marmentini is an international art rock star; her sculptures dot landscapes worldwide and her magnum opus, "Dragon de la Calderona," near Valencia, Spain, is a huge house built on a former quarry that looks like its namesake and took eight years to build. Last year, she decided to move to Brooklyn. Shirley Giler Noto, director at Bank Art Gallery, discovered her work on Instagram and began promoting her peculiar paintings, bas-reliefs and sculptures. No matter the medium, Marmentini's style is instantly recognizable. One marble statue at the gallery, "Flying Gaulkees," includes beasts with gold-leaf eyes that are neither fish nor fowl. In her work, lips often turn down, but the life-size sculpture "Catwoman," also in the gallery's cavernous subterranean space, is smiling and beguiling. Because Edward Doering owns Bank Art and the Regal Bag property, the deal to create a sculpture museum on the Newburgh waterfront zoomed from idea to reality in months. Things germinated when a representative from Garner Arts Center in Rockland County reached out to Marmentini and proposed a collaboration. Drawn to the river, she scouted Haverstraw's waterfront. When Noto heard the story, she had a eureka moment: Why not let Marmentini fill the flat, grassy area just inside the gate at the northern end of Front Street with large-scale sculptures? The living museum is intended to serve as the catalyst for a planned Hudson River Sculpture Walk that would extend beyond the former bag factory and other buildings, nearly to the Newburgh Yacht Club. Noto foresees plenty of lease extensions, but if any entity way down the line decides to remove the project, it will have to uproot concrete foundations, stainless steel anchors and the bulky artwork itself. Marmentini is sketching out a black-and-white sci-fi-style backstory about her future figures on high-end comic book paper, a mythology centered on the river's history and ecology for the last 10,000 years, after the glacier thawed. Despite being constructed from one of the planet's most resilient materials, the sculptures decay and change over time. "It would be cool if they gathered moss," she says. "Or if kids climb on them and a part gets knocked off." Bank Art Gallery, at 94 Broadway in Newburgh, is open from 4 to 8 p.m. on Friday and noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, or by appointment.

I've complained about franchisors — even great ones. But it wasn't until I experienced fear-based leadership firsthand that I truly understood what good partnerships actually look like. In this solo episode of Franchise Secrets, I break down the partnership levers behind my best franchise deals — the exact ways partnerships have allowed me to scale across franchising, investing, advisory roles, and brand building without working nonstop or needing to own everything myself. From early family partnerships to building Front Street, I walk through the real-world lessons that shaped how I evaluate partners today — including the difference between control and leverage, why fear kills franchise systems, and how the right partners help you build a much bigger pie. If you're a franchisor, franchisee, or investor trying to grow smarter (not just harder), this episode will give you a framework you can actually use.

Send us a textA single word—fire—ripped through a quiet winter night and changed Dodge City forever. We travel back to late 1885 as flames burst from the Junction Saloon, raced down Front Street, and turned landmark businesses into a corridor of embers. With no pressurized water system and winter winds pushing the blaze, neighbors hacked at ice for bucket brigades while heat made even brick buildings fail. The Long Branch Saloon, Delmonico's, Zinnerman's hardware, and more fell in hours, and embers leapt the tracks to ignite warehouses and strain the town's last defenses.Amid chaos, Marshal Bill Tilghman and the fire brigade made a stark choice: blast a firebreak with gunpowder to stop the advance. By dawn, roughly 14 businesses were gone and losses neared $150,000—staggering in 1885. Yet the ashes carried a blueprint. The second major fire of that year forced Dodge City to abandon the fragile speed of wood construction and invest in brick, stone, and a modern waterworks. What began as catastrophe became a civic turning point, ending the bucket brigade era and setting the foundation for a safer, more durable city.We unpack how disasters reshape policy and place, why fireproof materials and infrastructure mark the shift from boomtown myth to municipal staying power, and how memory and rebuilding can coexist in the same streets. If you're drawn to Western history, urban resilience, or the untold decisions behind a city's survival, this story offers vivid detail and lasting lessons.

Send us a textForget the postcard version of Dodge City. We open the door to the Great Western Hotel and step into a town intent on trading dust for dignity, noise for order, and short-term profits for a longer arc of respectability. The surprise is in the name itself: Great Western wasn't a nod to cattle drives; it was a bid to borrow the prestige of Brunel's railway and steamship, the Victorian shorthand for speed, reliability, and modern life. That branding choice tells us more about ambition on the plains than any staged gunfight ever could.We follow the transformation from the unpolished Western House to a hotel with plate glass, private rooms, and a no-whiskey policy under Dr. Samuel Galland, a German immigrant who believed Dodge City could be sober and civilized. Along the way, we separate trail reality from tourist memory: drovers called it the Western or the Dodge City Trail, while the phrase Great Western Trail arrived decades later through scholarship and heritage markers that retconned the landscape. The evidence runs through ledgers, newspapers, and the lived language of the men who drove the herds.The human stories make the stakes tangible. A silk-top-hatted dentist walks Front Street on principle and learns the cost of standing out before earning respect. Fires scorch the business district, owners come and go, the hotel changes names and survives the Dust Bowl, then vanishes in 1942—only to reappear as a museum gateway that sits near modern trail markers, inviting a tempting but false connection. What remains is the real takeaway: the West wasn't just won by grit; it was branded into being by people who knew that names can move minds as surely as rails move trains.If this reframe challenged a myth you held, share the episode, leave a rating, and tell us which Western “truth” you want us to unpack next.

Host Mike Dell continues his exploration of Traverse City, focusing on Union Street and reminiscing about the area. He begins by revisiting Front Street, mentioning the Beetle Building—a structure he associates with childhood memories of a Big Boy restaurant. He shares how the building has changed over time, including the closure of Mackinac Brewing and the presence of shops like Hocus Pocus, a magic store where he bought tricks as a kid. Transitioning to Union Street, Mike describes its location on the west end of downtown Traverse City, starting at the bay and discussing the former Morgan McCool fruit processing plant, known for processing Motts apple products. After the plant's closure, the land was donated to the college, and the area was transformed into an open space that hosts the National Cherry Festival and other events. As Mike moves further into the episode, he details various buildings and businesses along Union Street. He describes a large apartment building, previously home to a gas station and a bank, and mentions parking lots and city parking behind those buildings. He reminisces about a fire that affected a building housing a café called "The Dish," recounting its history and the local establishment Mel G's Music Shop, where he and fellow band members would purchase instruments. Continuing his trip down memory lane, Mike mentions a pizza place called Papa Jay's with an arcade and the bar zone that exists along Union Street, detailing Union Street Station and the now-closed Bill's Dills, known for karaoke. He reflects on both establishments' significance in local nightlife and connects back to his personal memories associated with them, including a karaoke mistress named Laura. Mike shares tidbits about local bars, like Brady's bar, which has been a staple in the community, and its menu highlighting bluegill fish. He briefly touches on the history of gas stations and notable locations like a mechanic shop that was formerly a gas station. As he wraps up this extensive recounting, he shares memories of City Bike Shop, where he purchased his bicycle and had it serviced, and mentions Fivensons, known for their memorable TV commercials. After a lengthy trip through the history of Union Street and its surroundings, he concludes by discussing upcoming episodes and the intent to continue providing content as part of National Podcast Post Month. Mike thanks his listeners for staying engaged and expresses excitement about future topics, hinting at an aviation-related episode to come, before signing off.

Before it was “110 Munson Ave” The site used to be addressed as 1504 E. Front Street in Traverse City. Back then it was part of the old fast food strip east of downtown. At some point in the early 1990s, that section was renumbered/reassigned and the same building became 110 Munson Ave (Munson Ave and E. Front basically merge/split in that corridor). So: same physical spot, two different street numbers over time. The business history, oldest to newest Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips (late 1970s / very early 1980s) One of the classic British-style fried fish & chips chains. The Traverse City location was listed at 1504 E. Front St., which is the same building that later became 110 Munson Ave. Arthur Treacher's expanded hard in the ‘70s/early ‘80s and then started fading nationally in the mid-'80s. The Traverse City shop was part of that early wave. Burger Square (≈1981–1984) After Arthur Treacher's left, the spot became Burger Square around 1981. Locals describe Burger Square as a slider/burger place, kind of White Castle-ish. It only lasted a few years, into the mid-1980s. Dairy Queen (mid-1980s to early 1990s) After Burger Square, the same building turned into a Dairy Queen. Sources say that Dairy Queen ran there through the late '80s and very early '90s, then closed/relocated. This is also the point where the address shifts: that old DQ at 1504 E. Front is later referred to as 110 Munson Ave. Schlotzsky's Deli (early 1990s) In the early '90s, after Dairy Queen, the building became a Schlotzsky's Deli (the Austin-style sandwich chain). That didn't last super long; by the mid/late '90s it had flipped again. Luigi's Pizzeria & Café (mid/late 1990s into 2000s) Next up was Luigi's Pizzeria & Café, doing pizzas, pasta, sandwiches. Luigi's shows up in business directories at 110 Munson Ave and is tied to the Gutowski family locally. One listing says Luigi's (at that address) dates back to the 2000s and had a handful of employees. A note from the owners suggests this Munson Ave location eventually closed around the late 2000s/very early 2010s. Mancino's Pizza & Grinders (late 1990s / 2000s era overlap) The same family (Valentine “Billy” and Linda Gutowski) also operated Mancino's Pizza & Grinders in Traverse City. Mancino's is described as their independent, mom-and-pop pizza/grinder shops that started in the area in the 1990s and expanded to multiple Traverse City locations. Mancino's is specifically listed at 110 Munson Ave in older directories, and some maps still show “Mancino's Pizza & Grinders” or “Gutowski Restaurants” tied to that address even after it was gone. Over time, the Gutowskis rebranded/relocated the Mancino's/“bread nuggets” operation to other Traverse City spots (Chum's Corner, West Bayshore, etc.), and the Munson Ave shop closed. That'sa Pizza (2010s–2020) After Mancino's/Luigi's, the building housed That'sa Pizza, a long-running Traverse City pizza brand that traces back to 1981. That'sa Pizza ran takeout/delivery from 110 Munson Ave through the 2010s. By early 2021 the Munson Ave location had shut down; That'sa Pizza continues today at other Traverse City locations (Long Lake Rd, Hammond Rd, Acme/Williamsburg), but not at 110 Munson. Jersey Mike's Subs (2021–present) In 2021, a Jersey Mike's Subs franchise moved in. Local business news in February/March 2021 said Jersey Mike's would open in the “former That'sa Pizza space” at 110 Munson Ave, targeting a late-March grand opening. Jersey Mike's is still the current tenant, and their official store listing shows the address as 110 Munson Ave, Traverse City, MI 49686, phone (231) 421-1379, open daily.

Congress is cancelling over $1 billion in pre-approved funding for public broadcasting. The funding cuts threaten local news and educational programming across Pennsylvania. Workers who rely on tips are being advised to pay attention to their taxes this year. A "no tax on tips" provision is part of the federal tax cut and spending bill recently signed into law. Workers who get voluntary tips - not service fees - may benefit from claiming both cash and credit card gratuities on their taxes. Under current law drivers in Pennsylvania are only required to display one license plate, on the rear of their vehicle. But a state lawmaker will soon introduce legislation to change that. The owner of Lancaster County hydro-electric plants at Holtwood and Safe Harbor has agreed to sell Google massive amounts of electricity generated by the Susquehanna River dams to power some Google data centers. The 20-year, $3 billion agreement is between Google and Canadian owners Brookfield Asset Management. Lancaster and Lebanon Counties are in talks for a long-term solution for hazmat services. Much is still unknown about the restoration efforts at the Governor's Residence in Harrisburg, following an April arson attack that severely damaged part of the Front Street mansion.

For Big Day of Giving today, our Executive Producer chose to highlight the nonprofit Fosters & Paws, a dog rescue which focuses mainly on pregnant or nursing mom dogs and underage puppies. Foster and Paws was started by Amanda Centella after fostering a dog and her puppies while she was working for Front Street. Amanda wanted to do things differently than normal shelters by not only giving the dogs in their care a forever home, but giving the adopters a forever community as well.
Since it opened in 1968, the Pennsylvania Governor’s Mansion has stood as a deliberate statement of state pride—and a beacon of resilience. “It was the first one that was actually built to be a governor’s residence,” explains David Morrison of the Historic Harrisburg Association. Prior to its construction, gubernatorial families lived in purchased townhouses on Harrisburg’s Front Street, retrofitted to serve their needs. When the Commonwealth decided it needed a purpose-built home—complete with security features, public meeting rooms, and private living quarters—it commissioned architect George Ewing to evoke early American manor houses like William Penn’s Pennsbury Manor and Virginia’s colonial estates.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textThe crack of gunfire shatters the morning air over Dodge City's dusty plaza. A black derby hat bobs above a railroad embankment as bullets fly from every direction. It's April 16, 1881, and Bat Masterson has just stepped off the train and into one of the American frontier's most chaotic yet consequential gunfights.Masterson had returned to help his brother, Jim, recently fired as city marshal and locked in a business dispute over the Lady Gay Dance Hall. What begins as a personal matter quickly escalates into a symbolic last stand of Dodge City's wild era. When Masterson encounters his brother's rivals AJ Peacock and Al Updegraff near the train depot, tensions explode into gunplay that engulfs the entire town.Through vivid storytelling, we transport you to Front Street as frightened onlookers peer through broken windows, watching the legendary gunfighter exchange shots with his adversaries while bullets kick up dust around his famous derby hat. The shootout's aftermath proves even more fascinating—Mayor Webster arrives with a shotgun to arrest Masterson, marking a decisive shift in Dodge City's history. Though Updegraff survives his wounds and Bat pays only an $8 fine, the Masterson brothers are effectively banished from town as new civic leaders implement moral ordinances to tame the notorious frontier outpost.This forgotten gunfight represents something far greater than a personal dispute—it captures the precise moment when Dodge City chose civilization over chaos, commerce over gunplay, and law over legend. Join us as we resurrect this pivotal moment that forever changed the trajectory of one of America's most infamous frontier towns.Purchase the Dime Novel "Gunfight at the Plaza" Want more Wild West stories?

When Greyhound shuttered its 35-year-old bus station on Filbert Street in 2023, inter-city buses shifted to curbside service on the corner of Sixth and Market Streets. But that location had no bathrooms, places to sit, or shelter. So the city opened what was supposed to be a temporary location along Spring Garden Street near Front Street in Northern Liberties. But more than a year later, the temporary bus stop is still there, and business owners are fuming. They say passengers are constantly coming through their doors to use – and abuse – their bathrooms. They also have complaints about traffic safety, trash, and parking. Thoughts on where a permanent bus terminal should go?

In this bonus episode, retired police intelligence unit detective Gary Jenkins looks into a fascinating New York Times article from March 21, 1976, that sheds light on a pivotal moment in the Mafia's history—reopening their membership rosters after nearly two decades. This marked a significant turning point for the five Mafia families, where they were again allowed to induct new members into their ranks. I discuss how this decision was made cautiously, with each family permitted to initiate only ten new members, ensuring that those chosen were proven loyal and financially savvy operatives who could withstand the challenges of Mafia life. As I analyze the shifts in power dynamics and the emergence of new figures, I point to key players such as Carmine Galante, whose ambitions peaked when he returned to the scene following a lengthy prison sentence. I provide insights into how the old guard of Mafia leadership began to decline, making way for fresh ambition and new strategies, particularly in narcotics. The interplay of rivalry, loyalty, and the ever-present financial machinations within the families illustrates the complexity of Mafia politics as they sought to adapt and thrive amid evolving criminal enterprises.

Transcript [0:00] Well, hey, all you wiretappers out there, glad to be back here in Studio Gangland Wire. I've got a little bonus episode, I think. I don't know how long it's going to be, but not too long. Steve Popkin, the fan of the podcast, sent me a link to a New York Times article. Actually, it was out of the New York Times archives. They have an archive that you can access. It was dated March 21st, 1976, and the title was Five Mafia Families Opened Rosters to New Members. Well, this is back when they opened the books, finally. We hear a lot about that. The books were closed. The books were opened. They opened the books in 1976. There's a lot of guys who were made right after that. [0:43] It's hard to figure out who they all are. It'll take a lot of time, but you all know who was made in 1976, 1977, during those years would have been right after the books were opened back up. They had to get the commission to approve of that, and there was five families [1:02] on the commission at the time. I assume Chicago probably was, but since it was a New York deal, they probably just kept it within New York mob bosses to vote on whether they would open up the books again. Now, in this article, I bet when they read this, some of these guys read this article, they were about to shit because here's their business right down on the street. And I know they read those articles. I've got a wiretap where Nick Savella is reading an article or actually Tuffy DeLuna is reading an article to him where the, I believe it was the Wall Street Journal, was saying that Iupa was moving out west and moving into Las Vegas. And Nick Civella says, oh, boy. [1:49] And anyhow, so, you know, I know they read this stuff and they pay attention to it. And to see this out on Front Street like this, I don't know. Anyhow, the article said that each family had been given permission to initiate 10 new members. [2:04] And they were instructed that they had to get these, take these guys from proven moneymakers within their own family, people that they knew. because, you know,

Widener University Commonwealth Law School is launching a professional closet, a donation-based initiative providing free professional attire to law students. The initiative was launched by students involved in Phi Alpha Delta. The students realized other schools had professional closets, and it was something they needed too. So students reached out to the Dean of Career Advising to get it started. “She was very gracious that we were going to actually put it into form. So she advised us, you know, start reaching out to maybe like other, you know, the local bar association and just other outlets that maybe we can get donations from to go beyond just Weidner itself. So we took it from there and it's been really exciting to see it, you know, now coming to the ribbon cutting and kind of how it's built the community, “said Kira Meager, student at Widener university Commonwealth Law School. This initiative is especially significant as 90% of our 2024 entering class are first-generation law school students, and 32% are first-generation college graduates. With 170 incoming students, this resource will ensure that students have access to the professional attire they need for interviews, external external events, and networking events. “You know, when we initially came up with this idea, I mean, we kind of understood that so many of our professors make it clear that professional attire is a requirement of the profession. Whether you're in a courtroom, you're in an office. When you're whether you're arbitrating, I mean, a lawyer has to represent this kind of like position of being official and representing the law and in a respectful manner. And I think when it came to us with this idea, you just said, you know, not everybody has the means off the bat to have like a suit or a nice dress for these kind of things. But everyone is capable of it if they're given those tools. That's what we can provide. The students of the Commonwealth that don't have that, “said McFadden. Donations of gently used professional clothing can be dropped off at the Student Organization Building on-campus or at the Dauphin County Bar Association located at 213 N.

Marian Bates ran the Time Centre jewellery shop on Front Street in Nottingham with her family.

Marian was shot during the robbery as she tried to defend her daughter and tragically lost her life at just 64 years old. This robbery, which only netted just about £1,000 for the thieves, resulted in a long chain of events...Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://uktruecrime.comSupport me at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrime Hosted on Acast.
