PROMENADE PAVILLION CONCERT SEASON IN REVIEW Hunter Brucks | HB Concerts Inc.  Toledo city leaders handed Hunter Brucks the keys to operate the summer concert series at Promenade Park (newly renamed Promenade Pavillion) last year. Once all the t's were crossed and the “i's” were dotted … he had a shorter window to secure acts, secure a stage, and make something out of it. There were cancellations - low ticket sales for some and just a few shows that could be called successful. Additionally, Lucas County is looking into a study with ConnecToledo about the future of not only the site - but also the programming. So what's the future of the summer concert series and how does Brucks grade himself on the job he did this year? SCHOOL SAFETY | STRATISITE REVISITED Scott Lowry - StrataSite  Jen Saba  - St. John's Jesuit HS  Disaster planning in an age of mass violence. How schools are preparing for the threat of emergency situations. StrataSite is a Toledo company meant to remove roadblocks toward the “outside” emergency response plan creation, sharing and adoption between all responding agencies during an emergency. The program serves hundreds of schools in Ohio and Michigan - including St. John's Jesuit in Toledo, which is using Stratisite this Fall for the first time. PRODUCER, ACTOR, AND COMEDIAN JOE GATTO  Joe Gatto | Producer, Actor, Comedian “Impractical Jokers”   You know him from the popular show, “Impractical Jokers,” but Joe Gatto is much more than a prankster on TV. He's a standup comedian, bringing his show to the Glass City this month. But he is also an author  of a children's book - “Where's Bearry?”.

Those who watched to completion the hit Netflix competition series Blown Away 4, will no doubt remember Ryan Thompson's final gallery installation, Where You Are is Where You Need to Be. In all black glass, he created large vessel forms that served as sentinels to the recording of time. A blown glass pendulum in the center of the room recorded each moment in a footed reliquary of white sand below it. Its existential message spoke to the viewer silently. Permanently.  Thompson states: “This installation was created to satisfy a need to slow down, contemplate, and analyze my artistic path and my creative process. The unnatural pace at which Blown Away required its competitors to conceptualize and create caused a mental fatigue unlike anything I had ever felt. As difficult as this experience was, my journey as an artist has never been a straight line, and whether an experience has been positive or negative in the moment, in the end, it was exactly what it was supposed to be. Where You Are is Where You Need to Be is a space created to meditate and reflect on my trajectory both as a person and as an artist.” Hailing from Sandusky, Ohio, near the shores of Lake Erie, Thompson and his sister Leah grew up with a love of the outdoors, sports, and all things creative. These interests were endlessly nurtured by their parents Jim and Kathy Thompson. Ryan's passion for music began in the 5th grade when a group of friends with a band needed a drummer. His love for music and percussion remains today.  After completing high school, Thompson attended Bowling Green State University (BGSU), Bowling Green, Ohio, to study Visual Communication Technology, a degree program he found to be lacking in creative freedom and excitement. In his third year, he enrolled in an Intro to Glass Blowing course on the recommendation of a friend, and the trajectory of his life was altered forever.  For the next 3 years, Thompson poured every ounce of his energy into learning to control his molten material. The example of excellence in this craft demonstrated by his peers and instructors such as Scott Darlington set the bar of achievement high. He focused on fundamental skills in the form of vessel and goblet making, utilizing the Venetian processes and techniques he found most exciting and inspirational. After graduation, Thompson began working at the Toledo Museum of Art Glass Pavilion as a studio artist and workshop instructor, as well as a production glassblower at many local glass shops in the birthplace of the Studio Glass Art movement. During his time in Toledo, the artist was fortunate to work with many world-renowned glass artists, honing his skills and expanding his network of colleagues in this community-orientated profession. In 2018, Thompson accepted a production glassblowing position at Greenfield Village (The Henry Ford Museum) in Dearborn, Michigan. The job allowed Ryan to continue to broaden his skill set and expand on his experience as a production glassmaker. In 2021, he was promoted to shop lead and began coordinating the team's production efforts, designing new product and maintaining the equipment that makes glass blowing possible.  After participating in Blown Away 4, on May 1, Thompson relocated back to Toledo, Ohio, and became the new owner and operator of Gathered Glass, a public glass studio that offers hand-made glass, glassblowing workshops, and public events in the heart of The Glass City. This opportunity is something he has dreamt about for the last decade and is hard at work making the business his own. Thompson's partner, Kayla Kirk of Charmed Ceramics, is in the process of building a pottery studio on the second floor that will offer similar programming as well as hand crafted pottery for the home. The studio will be renamed Huron Street Studio and will celebrate its Grand Opening at 23 N. Huron St. in downtown Toledo, September 14, 2024.  Thompson will also participate in an Artist Residency at the Museum of Glass Tacoma from October 9 – 13, 2024.

In S4Ep7 of the PRP, Adam chatters with seasoned running socialite, impassioned banana-based baker and pediatric nurse extraordinaire Tess Nicholas, who has been preparing for the Glass City Half Marathon on Sunday April 28th, 2024. Adam Good, ambitious budding marathoner, mathematics enthusiast and Tess's better half joins the show to offer his take on all things MRUN, banana muffins, and of course, running around town half naked.  The convo kicks off with the recent graduates, and former MRUN cabinet members, reflecting on the challenges they've faced over the past couple years as they've transitioned from college running to adult running. Having been part of a group that has six different options for group runs each week for the past four years, it has been a big change of pace (pun intended) for them to adjust to far less social running opportunities. As such, they were forced to do some research and find the most fitting local running groups to pledge their allegiance to. From Bad Decisions Track Club to Bandit Racing Team, both Adam and Tess credit their new found social circles for providing them with a sense of belonging as well as encouraging them to reach heights in the running world they never thought possible.  Things get vulnerable when Tess shares insight into her relationship with the sport and explains how she lets running be for her what she needs it to on any given day. Most days, it's an excuse to be social. Other days, it's a chance to destress. But her underlying theme remains constant - running is a source of wellness and it can be different things on different days. Utilize it, leverage it, and most importantly, don't take it too seriously. Is Tess bringing back neato? Scandal in the cabinet, say whaaa?? What the hell is RAM?? Beer ball?! Doughnut shorts?! Is Adam prepared to become of steward of the nanner?! True crime? Book queues??? Is Tess really just out her baking for her buds?! We avoidin nuts?? Running to Rick's?? Math wizards, tortoises and burner phones, oh my! This and much more in this endearing, gentle and peaceful episode of the PRP!

Veteran Business Owner Jeremy Mock of Glass City Cafe Jeremy Mock is a Marine Corps veteran and current Navy Reservist with a passion for business. After his time in the Marine Corps, Jeremy visited his hometown of Jeanette, PA and was struck by how the downtown area had deteriorated. He decided to help revitalize the town and decided to open Glass City Café.   Jeremy isn't alone in his personal mission, according to a Census Bureau report in 2021, Veteran-owned businesses made up about 5.9% (337,934) of all businesses, with an estimated $947.7 billion in receipts, approximately 3.9 million employees, and about $177.7 billion in annual payroll.   What's more valuable than the numbers are veterans are contributing to bridging the military/civilian divide by being present in their communities as well as supporting other veteran-owned businesses to help each other thrive.   Glass City Café prides itself on partnering with Veteran owned businesses to provide premier roasted coffee and tea. They work with local dairies and bakeries to source the freshest and tastiest additions to the coffee they serve and in doing so are helping to revitalize a small town.     Join The Scuttlebutt this week to hear about Jeremy's success story and how he took the many lessons he learned from the military and uses them to overcome the challenges of owning a business.   Glass City Café – https://glasscitycafe.com/   Thank you to our sponsor: Tobacco Free Adagio Health!   https://tobaccofree.adagiohealth.org/   http://www.veteransbreakfastclub.org/   #podcast #zoom #scuttlebutt #thescuttlebutt #humor #storytelling #headlines #news #oralhistory #militaryhistory #roundtable #navy #army #airforce #marinecorps #marines #military #coastguard #veteran #veterans #veteransbreakfastclub #vbc #nonprofit #501c3 #veterans #veteran #vet #militaryhistory #usarmy #army #vietnam #usnavy #navy #pilot #airforce #veteranowned #coastguard #aviators #militaryveterans #Iraq #vietnamveterans #veteransstories #veteranshistory #veteranshistoryproject #veteranstravel #veteranstrips #veteranshistoricaltours #veteransoralhistory #militaryretirees #armyretirees #navyretirees #warstories #airforce #vietnamwar #veteraninterview

News that Saudi Arabia is planning to build a utopian glass city for 9 million people in the middle of the desert called “The Line” has been sweeping the Internet.

In Part 1 of a 2-part episode, Alex reveals the fascinating story of the American Comandante, William Alexander Morgan of Toledo, Ohio and how his unlikely service in the Cuban Revolution of the 1950s changed world history. We look at the story of the Cuban Revolution of Fidel Castro on the whole and the improbable victory of the Cuban rebels over the dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959. This story was too good to fit into one episode and Part 2 of “Ohio v. Revolution” will come out next Tuesday August 10, 2021.  We are joined by author and journalist Michael Sallah to discuss William Morgan's crazy life story and Michael's excellent book Yankee Comandante: The Untold Story of Courage, Passion and One American's Fight to Liberate Cuba (2019). Michael details William's privileged youth and juvenile delinquency in “The Glass City”. From jumping off roofs, to running away to join the circus, even going AWOL while in the Army, to being an associate of the Toledo mafia. There's not a more unlikely revolutionary leader in the Cuban War for Independence. Buy Michael's book here, a truly fantastic read. https://www.amazon.com/Yankee-Comandante-Courage-Americans-Liberate/dp/0762792876 Our second guest Juan Santamarina, professor of history at the University of Dayton. Born in Cuba shortly after the Revolution, Juan takes us through the history of Cuba-American relations in the first half of the 20th Century leading to Castro and Morgan's separate guerrilla movements in the mountains of Cuba. Professor Santamarina shares the story of the brutal dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista and his surprising resignation on New Years Eve 1958.  Lastly, we're joined by Australian writer and historian Tony Perrottet. Tony, who writes for Smithsonian Magazine is the author of the great book Cuba Libre!: Che, Fidel and the Improbable Revolution That Changed World History (2019). Tony takes us inside Fidel Castro's revolutionary movement in the Sierra Maestra Mountains in Eastern Cuba from his disastrous landing in 1956 to their stunning victory in 1959. Castro was not a communist during the war but we begin to see that shift in the year following his successful revolution and taking power as Prime Minister of Cuba. He would remain in power for nearly 50 years.
