“Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we'll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. This week, I'm pleased to have Deb Googe on the podcast. She's probably most well known for being the bassist in My Bloody Valentine but is back now with a new project with Cara Tivey called da Googie. Today, Deb tells us about a pivotal moment in her life, reminding us that not all pivotal moments are things we recognize in the moment but sometimes the smallest thing can lead you down a path you didn't know even existed.  Music credits: Blue Dot Sessions "Dumb" da Googie Deb's Site Be sure to look out for my books, "Lived Through That" and "80s Redux" where ever you buy your books!

This week's Talkhouse Podcast brings together two important figures from the ‘90s shoegaze movement—and beyond—Miki Berenyi and Debbie Googe. Berenyi was one of the two women at the front of Lush, the powerhouse band that burned very bright from the late ‘80s to a difficult end in 1996. Their fascinating story—and much more—is told in Berenyi's recent autobiography, the excellent Fingers Crossed: How Music Saved Me From Success. The book details everything from Berenyi's childhood through a no-holds-barred look at her band's successes and failures, from management woes to in-fighting to a stage dive on Lollapalooza that left her in literal stitches. Berenyi is about to launch a U.S. tour, her first in a while, that also marks the beginnings of a new band, the Miki Berenyi Trio. Details can be found at mikistuff.com. The other half of this conversation is Debbie Googe, best known as the bassist for My Bloody Valentine, perhaps the most legendary of the shoegaze bands. Googe was there almost from the volatile band's start, both in their early, more rocking days—which you'll hear a bit about in this chat—to its ongoing reunion. In the long stretches between My Bloody Valentine tours, Googe has played in other interesting bands, including Thurston Moore's solo lineups and with Brix Smith of the Fall. Googe also recently started performing and recording more experimental music as da Googie, including a recent collaborative single with Too Many Things. As you'll hear, Berenyi and Googe know each other from way back—from the days when their bands were small enough to be playing shows in squats, in fact. In this chat, they talk about what touring is like in Europe versus their UK home—better food in Europe—as well as Berenyi's bandmate and partner Moose losing his passport recently. Googe tells the hilarious story of her My Bloody Valentine bandmate Bilinda Butcher auditioning for the band, which involves accidentally being interviewed for another, entirely different, job. Enjoy. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Miki Berenyi and Debbie Googe for chatting.

Monique chats with the brilliant Alan Hess, an architect, historian, and author of 21 books on Modernism. In this episode, they explore Frank Lloyd Wright's impact on modern architecture, along with the intriguing world of "Googie" design and the way they were able to bring ordinary life into the realm of these mid-century modern designs.    They also touch on architectural legends like Oscar Niemeyer, Alan Bray, Jack Hillmer, and Donald Wexler, along with Alan Hess's preservation efforts, including a surprising McDonald's Drive Thru. Tune in as he shares about his book ‘Forgotten Modern' and the passion for preserving these iconic spaces that define midcentury modernism.   “For the price of a hamburger and a piece of pie, the average person at a Googy coffee shop could participate in that modern life” - Alan   If you're interested in buying or selling a modern home, head over to Modern Homes Realty to learn more.   -----   Let's Connect!    Website: www.mcmwithmonique.com     Follow Me On:    Instagram: @mcmwithmonique   Facebook: facebook.com/mcmwithmonique    -----   Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Googie Modern: Architectural Drawings of Armet Davis Newlove    Googie: Fifties Coffee Shop Architecture   Alan Hess Website: www.alanhess.net

When nightclub owner Steven Alix bought the old Irish Snug, he didn't know anything about Sid King or his famous Colfax strip club, Crazy Horse. But he soon learned that the bar at the corner of Colfax and Marion had been a staple of the strip's infamous — and often debaucherous — nightlife scene from the 1940s to the 1980s. A few decades have passed, but now the man behind Colfax's hottest LGBTQ bars is bringing Crazy Horse Kitchen + Bar back to life, complete with King's original Googie-style neon sign. Host Bree Davies is joined by Steven and Keith Garcia, a fellow Colfax aficionado and artistic director at the Sie FilmCenter, to dig into the myths and magic of Colfax, Sid King's lasting imprint on the street, and why Crazy Horse (and its companion basement nightclub) are important to the current landscape of Denver's queer-welcoming establishments. Plus, Keith and Steven share their recs for celebrating Pride Colfax-style. Did Playboy actually call Colfax the “longest, wickedest street in America”? Bree mentioned this Denverite article investigating the infamous claim.  Keith mentioned Sie FilmCenter's slate of Pride events all month long, including a block party with Black Pride Colorado, and teased the return of the CinemaQ Film Festival in August. Steven highlighted the week of events planned at X Bar, Tight End, and Crazy Horse.  Bree commented on the protests outside the new Drip Café on Santa Fe and recommends listening to our episode on Denver's best coffee shops.

Mel's Drive-in Restaurant in Santa Monica is an example of Googie architecture: a retro futuristic style featuring stretched roofs, large glass windows, and neon signs. LA's sex workers are at a higher risk for monekypox, and they're working with local agencies to gain access to vaccines.

You may not have heard of it, but you've definitely seen it before – 50s buildings with bright, loud colors, roofs at crazy angles, and space-age shapes like starbursts. It turns out that Googie architecture is as fun to look at as it is to say. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We did it. We got him. We are thrilled to present to you an interview we had the privilege of doing with L.A. history icon Charles Phoenix. Listen in as we discuss the mid century allure of southern California, what it means to L.A. to lose our cultural treasures and the best affordable pizza in town.

Helen Fong, one of the few women practicing architecture in the US in the 1950s, is best known for her “Googie” California coffee shop architectural style. Pann's Coffee Shop, Denny's, Bob's Big Boy— those bold, iconic, futuristic restaurants of the 1950s and 60s— there are thousands of them, not just in Los Angeles, where they were born, but across the country. These family restaurants are core to how America defined itself after World War II. Cars, families, space flight, modernism....the new world order. Pioneering architect Helen Fong helped define that futuristic look. Helen Fong was born in Los Angeles' Chinatown in 1927. One of five children she grew up working in the family's laundry business. In 1949 she received a degree in city planning from UC Berkeley, moved back to Los Angeles and got her first job working as a secretary for architect Eugene Choy. Two years later, she began working for Armet and Davis, well known for its work in the “Googie” architectural style. Modern, wild, whimsical—some of Fong's most famous projects include Pann's Restaurant, Johnie's Coffee Shop, and Holiday Bowl, created to catch the eye of America's fast growing car culture of the 1950s and 60s. This story was produced by New Angle: Voice of the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation with host Cynthia Phifer Kracauer, AIA. Podcast production by Brandi Howell.

Who hasn't had a burger and fries at a Denny's or Bob's Big Boy?  There are thousands of them, not just in Los Angeles, where they were born, but across the country.  These family restaurants are core to how America defined itself after World War II. Cars, families, space flight, modernism....the new world order.... And who defined that fun and futuristic look?  Our pioneering LA woman architect: Helen Fong.   She was born in 1927 in Los Angeles Chinatown where her immigrant parents ran a laundry that she often worked at as a child.  The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was still intact, and you can imagine this presented many challenges for Helen as she grew up.   She went on to create some of LA's most iconic diners, which are still celebrated by legions of fans.  These landmarks have cemented their place in pop culture.  Strip malls and roadside attractions, driving with the top down, hair blowing in the wind and another day of sunshine.   Helen's design work helped create this image, yet many don't know the story of the woman who they have to thank.  On today's episode:  Fast Food and Radical Rooflines: Helen Fong Shapes Los Angeles Coffee Shops. Special thanks in this episode to Hadley Meares, Victor Newlove, Barbara Bestor, Jim Poulos, Annie Chu, Phoebe Yee, Chris Nichols, John English, and Ginny Glass.   This podcast is produced by Brandi Howell, with editorial advising from Alexandra Lange.   New Angle Voice is brought to you by the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation, with support from Knoll, a MillerKnoll company and SOM.

It's what I'm always trying to tap into, regardless of the musical style or setting.Once upon a time music was an important part of a culture.  Songs were sung for joy and celebration, to ease the pain of life's troubles, and to transcend the boundaries between worlds. It is this lineage that inspires me to create.Kevin's most recent CD is called 'Careless Truth', which contains nine new songs. This is not pop music. The songs on Careless Truth come from the deeper traditions of American Music that inspire him - Blues, Jazz, Folk, and Rock influences are all present.  The lyrics and music were written as directly as possible, hence the album's title.  Some serious issues are addressed like homelessness, politics, depression, and addiction, as well as brighter topics like love and family life.  The album was recorded using many vintage guitars and amps and has a classic American Rock sound.  Kevin was happy to work with some fine musicians and record at an excellent studio.The Kevin McLeod Band is a six-piece group that takes my songs to the next level via inspired performances and group improvisation.  The band features some of the area's finest musicians.  I am also a member of the NYC Jazz group True To Life and LI Jazz group The Tone Healers.  I have appeared on cable TV programs such as Wes Houston Presents and played at NYC clubs such as The Way Station, The Shrine, The Sidewalk, Silvana, Googie's Lounge (Upstairs at The Living Room), CBGB's, The Alphabet Lounge, and Kavehaz.

In 2003, the majority of the beloved Holiday Bowl in L.A.'s Crenshaw district was demolished. Although the bowling alley--a big box profoundly important to the community--was lost, the coffee shop--a Googie gem designed by Armet and Davis--remains standing and is now a Starbucks. Today's guest Katie Horak analyzed the efforts to save the Holiday Bowl in her 2006 thesis. Listen as Katie reflects on her research, how times have changed in terms of valuing cultural significance, and why communities should tell their own stories. Now a leader in our field, she's come back to USC as a teacher, inspiring the next generation of heritage conservationists.

From 1940 to 1970, mid‐Michigan created an extensive and varied legacy of modernist architecture. Based on archival research and oral histories, Susan J. Bandes's Mid-Michigan Modern explores that legacy in both the work of renowned architects, such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Alden B. Dow, and the Keck brothers, and in the buildings of regional architects whose work was strongly influenced by international modern styles. In the growing optimism and increasing economic prosperity following WWII, the automobile industry, state government, and Michigan State University served as economic drivers enormously expanding the Mid-Michigan area. Government, professional associations, and private industry all sought an architectural style that spoke to forward‐looking, progressive ideals. Smaller businesses picked a Prairie style that made people feel comfortable, and modernist houses reflected the increasingly informal American lifestyle rooted in automobile culture.In this expanded volume that includes 36 new illustrations, readers encounter buildings of various types, from residences to sacred spaces. This new edition also adds over twenty architect-designed residences along the various rivers and creeks that traverse the area as well as on man-made lakes, and it introduces several popular architectural designers not previously discussed. The epilogue briefly considers disappearing modernist inventions and buildings. With a detailed narrative discussing more than 150 buildings and enriched by hundreds of illustrations, Mid-Michigan Modern is a vibrant reclamation of the history of modernist architecture in this part of the state. The expanded, paperback edition and the original hardcover version of Susan J. Bande's Mid-Michigan Modern: From Frank Lloyd Wright to Googie are both available at msupress.org and other fine booksellers.

June 14, 2021 (Season 3, Episode 4; 72 minutes long - 1 hour and 12 minutes). Click here for the Utah Department of Culture & Community Engagement version of this Speak Your Piece page.The main title for this episode is based on historian Susan Rugh's 2008 book, Are We There Yet?: The Golden Age of American Family Vacations (University Press of Kansas). Now that the COVID-19 restrictions are cautiously easing-up, and with many of us vaccinated, and with self-quarantining likely a thing of the past, many of us are making up for all the isolation and lack of travel, by getting out "on the road again." This episode is all about discovering or rediscovering Utah's culturally rich “less traveled" townscapes and highways (US Routes 89, 91, 40 and 50, just to name a few). We especially want listeners to learn how to read and appreciate Utah's road related architecture and landscapes, including highways (that meander through towns and cities), 20th century "mom and pop" motels, Mid 20c. Googie architecture, roadside attractions, neon signs, and more.The era discussed by Rugh and Church--between World War I to the 1970s--was hardly a "golden age" for African and Jewish Americans, and for all other minorities, who endured deep discrimination while driving and vacationing in America. Utah was no different, it too was a segregated place. This is discussed along with ideas, types of vacations (historical pilgrimages, National Parks, camping, Disneyland and other theme parks, etc.) the architecture and material culture, all surrounding the 20th century American vacation.Utah historic towns discussed include Logan, Salt Lake City, Provo, Helper, Price, Vernal, Panguitch, Kanab, Fillmore, Beaver, Cedar City and St. George. Guest Biographies:  Susan Sessions Rugh is Dean of Undergraduate Education at Brigham Young University, where she is also a professor of history. She wrote Are We There Yet? The Golden Age of American Family Vacations (University Press of Kansas, 2008), which received national attention for its nostalgic portrayal of road trips in the decades following World War II. Rugh has also published articles on Utah's state tourism slogans, and historic motels in Salt Lake City. Her current book project, "No Vacancy: The Rise and Decline of American Motels," is a history of roadside lodging, from tourist courts to family-owned franchises. A native of Provo, Utah, she enjoys visiting art museums, road trips, and spending time with her ten grandchildren.Lisa-Michele Church has for more than 30 years offered public and private service as an attorney and community activist. She loves history, legal issues, social justice, and road trips.  Her historical interests focus on the American West and vernacular architecture. She is working on a book featuring Utah's vintage neon signs. She presents to a variety of scholarly and community groups on such topics as hand-made adobe brick homes, early 20th century apartment buildings, vintage roadside motels, and tourism development along the Arrowhead Highway (connecting LA to SLC via Las Vegas). Her published work includes the books Historic Salt Lake City Apartment Buildings (2018) and Sunlight and Shadow – The Page Ranch Story (2017), along with numerous articles such as “Early Roadside Motels and Motor Courts of St. George, Utah,” Utah Historical Quarterly, Winter 2012, photographic essays, and brochures. Do you have a question or comment?

Researching Modernist architecture hasn't always been easy, particularly before the internet, if anyone remembers back that far. Before our phones were full of Cardi B, Tik Tok, and $32 million inheritance offers, pending a $1200 processing fee, of course, researching Modernism meant spending time in real life deep in a major library. Fortunately, the web brings incredible research resources and tools without leaving the comfort of your cool ranch Dorito-covered couch. Those are delicious, aren't they? Today we visit with two giants of Modernism research, Bill Storrer, creator of the Storrer system for Frank Lloyd Wright projects, and one of our favorite podcast guests, the Maestro of Modernism, the jolly green giant of Googie, the Samuel L. Jackson of architecture documentaries; the Ryan Seacrest of Modernism Week hosting dozens of events, author and speaker Alan Hess. Later on, a few minutes with architect Frank Harmon, reading from his book Native Places.

According to Adobe Analytics, online shopping is expected to grow by 33% this holiday season because of the lockdowns. For some retailers, the Black Friday bargain hunt can generate up to half of their annual sales. For fraudsters, it’s a great opportunity to capitalise on the rush. Adobe Analytics research- Rise in online shopping to increase cybercrime According to the Cyber Risk Index (CRI) calculated by NordVPN, residents of developed countries are more likely to become victims of cybercrime despite the fact that they consider themselves tech-savvy and well-protected. For example, Ireland ranks 7th globally with a CRI score of 0.664, which is considered as a high risk. Developed countries offer better access to the internet and higher wages, which translates to more smartphones and heavy usage of online services. How do fraudsters find their victims? Emails and website banners are a cybercriminal’s bread and butter. Very often, fraudsters will copy legitimate commercial practices. They rely on advertising engines like Facebook and Google to push their banners on users. Although these companies have strong safeguards in place, some banners still slip through the net. Alternatively, some scammers study their future victims and analyse their online behavior — which can be easily done if the victim is browsing the web unprotected. That’s why it’s important to check that the websites you’re looking at have HTTPS in their address. Additionally, users should protect themselves with a VPN connection. It prevents eavesdropping and would make it harder for scammers to intercept their payment. However, when indulging in a shopping spree, Black Friday shoppers need to keep their wits about them for red flags. Offers that look too good to be true or links received from banks or insurance companies – these are perfect examples of a con-artist’s methods. The opportunistic cybercriminal relies on social-engineering to trick you into giving away your own account details. Daniel Markuson, digital privacy expert at NordVPN, listed the 5 major scenarios scammers will be exploiting in 2020: Fake invoices. Paying an invoice that looks exactly like a utility one can easily happen when people make more transactions than usual. These types of scam are called Authorised Push Payment (APP) fraud. Even once the penny’s dropped and the victim has caught on to the crime, the payment can’t be reversed. Bank notifications. Fraudsters mimic emails sent by banks, claiming that recent purchases the victim has made couldn’t be processed. After clicking a dodgy link inside that email, the unfortunate victim is duped once again. The hacker would have recreated a fake bank website to look exactly like the genuine article, created specifically to fool people into giving away their own bank credentials. “Your order has been cancelled”. Similar to the above example, these scams typically start with a link that leads to a suspicious website. That link is accompanied by an email that claims one of your recent online orders has run out of stock, and urges the recipient to claim their refund. Once again, the victim is pushed to enter their bank account details, unfortunately leading to cybercriminals clearing them out completely of all their cash. Lookalike pages. Amazo?.com, eday.com, googIe.comv — most users do not spot the discrepancies in the address bar as long as the website design looks legitimate. They process the payment for the items in their shopping cart and end up robbed. Renew your membership for the purchases you’ve made. Once you’ve finished with your purchases, scammers will send you an email claiming that your Amazon Prime subscription is due and the discount cannot be applied. If you want your items to get delivered, you obviously have to renew the subscription. Which, of course, ultimately leads to stolen credentials.

Inside an old restaurant you can hear the sound of kids hunkered down at the counter, plotting a revolution. It’s a long shot for sure, but maybe they will pull it off. Maybe they will save us all.

Thank you for joining us at the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and society. In this episode, Sean and Marco are coming to you from the RSA Conference in San Francisco and are joined by Remi Cohen and Lan Jenson. If you are old enough or enjoy "vintage" cartoons, you may be familiar with The Jetsons—a 1960s/1980s TV show about a family living in a futuristic place called Orbit City. The architecture is Googie style, technology is absolutely everywhere, and all homes and businesses are high up in the sky supported by very tall columns. No need, in this conversation, to dig into the possible environmental or societal catastrophe that may have forced this solution. And, let's keep it as a joke about how that, in the year 2020, there is no such city; and why we are not living that life? There isn’t a single answer, as this is—just like with every other technological topic—both a global conversation that has the common thread of development and well-being of humanity…and a local conversation with as many different angles that are defined by the cultural diversities, various needs, and short/medium-term goals we may find in different parts of the globe. In this session, we spoke about surveillance, privacy, safety, IoT, resilient ecosystems, education, and the roles of individuals, communities, nonprofit groups, governments, businesses, and all decision-makers that must come together to drive this change. All of this in the interest of those that will ultimately either be damaged or could benefit from the present and future smart city transformation: the citizens. Because, ultimately, the value of a society is not measured by the amount and advancement of its technology, but rather how such technology improves communities, reduces social problems, and creates the most quality of life for all. Now that would be something I would consider smart.

For fans of the HBO series High Maintenance, Ben Sinclair is practically synonymous with “The Guy,” the laid-back New York City weed dealer he plays on the show. And while a lot of the show is inspired by Ben and his co-creator and ex-wife Katja Blichfeld's personal life experiences, these days, Ben's trying to separate himself from some of his character's most well-known attributes. "I'm starting to grow out of smoking weed," he told me. "I feel joy at the anticipation of getting stoned, but once I'm stoned, I'm like, ugh, why did I do this?" Ben talked with me about his childhood in an Arizona suburb, struggling in New York in his 20s, what he learned from his divorce, and what he's turning to now that he's smoking less.  If you're new to High Maintenance, here are five of my favorite episodes. I only picked from the last four seasons of HBO for ease in finding, but the whole web series is amazing, which you can find here. "Dongle" (Season 3, Episode 7): A Puerto Rican man who just arrived in New York starts work on a road crew and starts a flirtation with his bodega guy. "Googie" (Season 2, Episode 6): The Guy is recovering at home after a bike injury, and after smoking a lot of pot and streaming a lot of television, he goes out for a walk. "M.A.S.H." (Season 3, Episode 1): A wake brings together a collection of people in upstate New York, who join together in an inspired music jam.  "Adelante" (Season 4, Episode 6): An encounter with ex in an Uber pool, and a dental hygienist goes on a date with a patient and then returns to her home in the Bronx. "Scromple" (Season 2, Episode 5): The Guy and his ex-wife run into each other in a hospital.

Take one look at a P. Terry's restaurant and you might think it's been around for generations. From the Googie architecture to the roadside burger-stand vibe, Austin, Texas–based P. Terry's has created a timeless experience dedicated to quality, value, and customer service. And that's exactly how founder Patrick Terry intended it when he opened the first P. Terry's—in 2005. Terry sat down with QSR editor Sam Oches to discuss the chain's 15-year success story, how it gets away with selling Black Angus burgers for $4 or less, and why a deep commitment to both customers and employees has helped turn the brand into a cult favorite across Texas.QSR Magazine informationFacebook | Twitter | Instagram | LinkedInQSRmagazine.com Have feedback or interview suggestions?

BE SURE TO SEE THE SHOWNOTES AND LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE HERE. Eve Picker: Hey, everyone, this is Eve Picker, and if you listen to this podcast series, you're going to learn how to make some change. Hi there. Thanks so much for joining me today for the latest episode of Impact Real Estate Investing.   Eve Picker: My guest today is Lorenzo Perez, the co-founder of Venue Developments, a redevelopment practice based in Phoenix, Arizona. Lorenzo describes Venue's work as crafting one-of-a-kind environments that are sensitive to experiences, neighborhoods, and people. That's an understatement.   Eve Picker: Lorenzo's approach is that of an entrepreneur. He takes opportunities and risks that most developers would not, in order to create projects that are carefully crafted, artistic, community-centric masterpieces. I wish Lorenzo worked in Pittsburgh.   Eve Picker: Listen in to hear more and be sure to go to EvePicker.com to find out more about Lorenzo on the show notes page for this episode. Don't forget to sign up for my newsletter, so you can stay tuned into the latest news about real-estate impact investing, and the latest projects on my crowdfunding platform, SmallChange.com.   Eve Picker: So, Lorenzo, I know a little bit about your work, but I would love to tell our listeners, or have you tell our listeners a little bit about what you do.   Lorenzo Perez: Sure. I am a real-estate entrepreneur based in Phoenix Arizona. I say entrepreneur more than a developer, because we are focused on creative real-estate development with a focus on urban infill, adaptive reuse, and creative redevelopment projects.   Lorenzo Perez: Everyone is a prototype, and a one-off, so they're very entrepreneurial in terms of what do we do with a particular building, or how do we find a home for a particular tenant, or what kind of use can we implement, or a variety of uses? Then we've got to figure out how to put it all together, how to finance it, operate it, execute, and deliver it [cross talk]   Eve Picker: You're a little bit of an artist, right?    Lorenzo Perez: You know, it's funny, I've had several people tell me that. They say, "Your projects are so creative that you're really an artist, and real estate, and the various users, and forces that go into a real-estate project are your medium." I always tell people now that I sort of play in habitable, and income-producing sculpture.   Eve Picker: That's really great.   Lorenzo Perez: Because we are significantly manipulating old, beat-up buildings into pretty, fun, and inspired places.   Eve Picker: Yeah, I think you've told me that you go for some pretty ugly ducklings.   Lorenzo Perez: Yes, the uglier, the more broken, the better. Usually that translates to a better buying opportunity, or also just motivation, and enthusiasm from government, and neighborhood stakeholders.   Eve Picker: Maybe the uglier, the better the transformation, as well, right?    Lorenzo Perez: Exactly. I love to bring people through our projects for a variety of reasons, but from start to finish, I love the insight we get from their observations. Quite often, I'm actually surprised at things they pick up on that we don't, because we're so in the weeds with them. I always tell people that I love to bring them through the different stages because it really does make it more impactful at the end [cross talk]   Eve Picker: The ugly buildings are blank palette, right?    Lorenzo Perez: They really are, and I always tell people, "We've got to take you through the pain, so you can enjoy the gain."    Eve Picker: That's right. Yeah, real estate is very messy, and it seems to get worse before it gets better.   Lorenzo Perez: Yes, yes.    Eve Picker: What are you working on at the moment?    Lorenzo Perez: At the moment, I'm working on the largest project that we've ever undertaken. We've been working on it now for- we're going probably in to three years from when we started acquiring the buildings, and then formulating a joint venture with a larger developer.   Lorenzo Perez: We're working on a two-acre site right next to a property that we redeveloped about five years ago on a light-rail line. It's two 1950s office buildings that we are converting into a boutique hotel campus - a 79-room boutique hotel.   Lorenzo Perez: We are navigating a variety of things. We have transit-oriented development standards that we're navigating. It's a joint venture between three parties - ourselves, another developer, and vintage partners with much larger, stronger balance sheet, way more experience. They came to us and wanted to partner with us on it. Our hotel operator's based out of Los Angeles, and Palm Springs, so they are a co-investor, as well as our operating partner.   Lorenzo Perez: The two buildings were tired, and mid-century desert modern architecture. While we're going through it, we're-   Eve Picker: Which sounds really sexy, but really isn't?    Lorenzo Perez: It is, yeah. In Phoenix, that's all we got. We're like early-'20s, and then we will eliminated a bunch of stuff. Phoenix is a mid-century city. We appreciate that they're out of Palm Springs, because they really do value that kind of architecture, that sort of funky, streamlined, linear ...    Lorenzo Perez: One of our buildings is pretty unique to the area. It follows the Googie-style architecture, which was usually reserved for like roadside architecture for restaurants or banks. It's got some playful forms. It's not too rough. It's got a fourth-floor penthouse, and a roof deck that we're going to convert to a cocktail lounge - an outdoor-view experience.   Lorenzo Perez: It's got a lot of challenges. The building's retired. We're navigating serious code upgrades, because of the change in use from office, to hospitality, and assembly.   Eve Picker: Oh, yeah, that would be big.   Eve Picker: Yes, it's big, and we're also dealing with economic forces here that are beyond our control. One, the market is extremely elevated, busy; a lot of investment to Phoenix. Phoenix is sort of late to the recovery from the Great Recession, because we went so deep into the recession.   Lorenzo Perez: There's just a lot going on here, a lot of people moving here. A lot of things are under construction; a lot of things in development. We are dealing with limited labor, and that translates to unpredictability on schedule, but also just significant cost escalation.   Lorenzo Perez: We're navigating a tough environment in terms of ... We've also - which is weird for Arizona - we're also coming out of, I think, one of the wettest winters that we've ever had. That didn't help us, because it caught us right as we were doing all our [cross talk]    Eve Picker: One of our offerings was a little modular house in Pittsburgh, and they were really seriously delayed because of the rain. They could not ... They could not beat the ground. It was just a mud pool [cross talk]    Lorenzo Perez: -it's really rare for us to have to deal with that, because we have over 300 sunny days a year. This, we were in the ground, with underground retention, and utilities, and starting foundations. We would get wet, and it would take us two to three weeks to dry out enough just to get on the site. Then we could work a little bit, and then the rain would come back. It definitely set us back probably three months, I would say, for weather that-   Eve Picker: That's a long time, when you're holding land, have construction interests, et cetera. Yeah.    Lorenzo Perez: Yes.    Eve Picker: Be sure to go to EvePicker.com and sign up for my free educational newsletter about impact real-estate investing. You'll be among the first to hear about new projects you can invest in. That's EvePicker.com. Thanks so much.   Eve Picker: I know you think a lot about your audience, because you are building art, right? Relation art.    Lorenzo Perez: Yes.    Eve Picker: Who's the audience for this project? It isn't just a hotel, right?   Lorenzo Perez: No. Our projects are really rooted in community and that's always been our intention - since we founded our company 11 years ago - was to create community gathering places in artistic settings and really create these distinct destinations that provide an experience.    Lorenzo Perez: Our audience, surprisingly, has been fairly consistent across, I would say, our hospitality projects. Most of our projects were restaurant-, or retail-anchored, but they tend to attract ... We're seeing a pattern that they tend to attract young to old.   Lorenzo Perez: Really, it's less about age demographic; it's more about really people who just enjoy getting together in a communal setting. They like an indoor/outdoor experience. We have the benefit of being able to do that here nine out of 12 months a year.   Lorenzo Perez: I would even say, if you're from the Southwest, you can even handle the summers. As intense as they are, the dry heat does allow us to be outside, even in 110-, 115-degree weather, if we're in the shade, or we're in pools. If we design for weather, it can really be a special year-round place.   Lorenzo Perez: I would say our audience really is young to old. When I say young, some of our places, we have a lot of candy and ice cream shops, so they can get pretty young; they can also get pretty old.    Lorenzo Perez: The hotel is probably a little more defined. They are targeting a 21 and older crowd, so I would say that one's probably 21 into probably you 80s would be our target audience for a hotel project.   Eve Picker: What about the neighborhood it's in? How do you think about what you're doing for that neighborhood?    Lorenzo Perez: What I love about this neighborhood is that it was in a location that suffered, when the light rail went through it. If you're from Arizona, or Phoenix, there's ... Locals know there's always been a built-in bias, west of Central Avenue. Central Avenue runs north-south and bisects the city of Phoenix.   Lorenzo Perez: History will show that people kind of look down on the avenues versus the streets. It's sort of [inaudible] line. If you go west of it you're in the avenues; if you go east of it, you're in the streets.   Lorenzo Perez: So, the neighborhood we're in was pretty disinvested, when we purchased our property next door, back in 2012. They were having a lot of issues with vacancy, transience ... Even though the residential neighborhoods around them were fairly stable, there was just a lot of attractive nuisances, and people weren't investing there.   Lorenzo Perez: We saw the opportunity, with its proximity to the central corridor, as an opportunity to go in there and start accumulating some of these buildings. They really do have kind of an interesting collection of mid-century, early '50s building stock that are pretty unique, even to Phoenix's standards. They were tired. They were disrepaired. There were some vacant lots. We started with the one property a few years ago, and then were successful in acquiring three or four others on each side of our property ... Our focus was to sort of do a district-scale development through a series of small incremental projects.   Eve Picker: Nice.    Lorenzo Perez: The neighborhood, really, we couldn't be more grateful. They're supportive. They love us. They support what we're doing. This project in particular really reflects kind of our approach to development. I always tell people we really do take an entrepreneurial and opportunistic approach. We aren't limited by product. We go into a neighborhood, and we're really basing our decisions on context. We look at things like scale, impact to the surrounding neighborhood.   Lorenzo Perez: In this particular neighborhood, when we introduced our retail dining experience next door, it was really received with great success. The community loves it. We have plenty of multi-family housing around us. We have transit right in our front door. We have single-family historic neighborhoods around us. What we were missing in that area, really, was maybe some creative office, and we were really missing hospitality - a place to stay in the neighborhood - because the area is abundant with all kinds of shopping, from really edgy, shabby-chic type stuff to upscale shopping [cross talk]   Eve Picker: When do you think it's going to be finished, because I'm going to book a room?   Lorenzo Perez: Yes, we would love your support. We'd love to have you out here. We are targeting a November opening [cross talk] in early November.   Eve Picker: That's pretty soon.    Lorenzo Perez: Yes. We're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's been a haul.   Eve Picker: That's about it. Okay, so you really approach real-estate development from a community perspective. I'd like to know, everyone has a ... This show is about real-estate impact investing, and everyone has a very different opinion about what impact real estate should look like. I'm just wondering what it looks like from your perspective.   Lorenzo Perez: Well, impact investing, from our perspective, is ... I'll use a term[ I'll share a term with you that we use internally in our company. I think you heard me speak about this when we met a few years ago. We strive- our mission is to obtain holistic return on our investment of time, creativity, capital, whatever.   Lorenzo Perez: What I mean by that is we're seeking more than economic return on investment. We always have to clarify - we are a for-profit business. We are seeking a return on our capital for the risk and time that we have invested, but it's just one-fifth of what we're looking for. Our number-one priority is we seek an emotional return on our investment. We're really motivated by doing inspired work - work that's meaningful that makes a difference in people's lives, our lives. We look for, first, an emotional return.   Lorenzo Perez: Our second one is social return on investment. We're looking for a social return. We named our company Venue Projects for a reason. We just thought it was a perfect name to represent things like gathering spaces, or people places, or destinations, or distinct artistic settings. Not only did we want to have a social impact, we wanted to bring people together and really contribute towards building community - so, emotional-social.   Lorenzo Perez: Our third return on investment we're seeking is cultural. We're trying to create places that make an architectural statement or a cultural statement in our community that ... We do a lot of preservation through reuse, so what we're also trying to do is unveil maybe unknown stories about these properties or Phoenix's past.    Lorenzo Perez: We're a young city. Growing up here - I'm a native of Arizona - all I heard is that Phoenix has no soul and no history. We've just always been the baby out in the Southwest. I always tell people, today, even though we're the fifth largest city in the US, we're like a gangling teenager who's figuring out his big body. We're trying to figure ourselves out. We didn't have really a lot of stories to share or we didn't celebrate them, so we're starting to celebrate them to try to create some connections to a sense of place.   Lorenzo Perez: Our fourth return is environmental return. We wanted, when we started our company, to set a new example for emerging developers that we can take existing building resources, even as uninspired as a lot of the buildings are in Phoenix, Arizona, because most of them have more of a very practical, utilitarian mission behind their design. We have plenty of great architecture, but I would say the greater majority are pretty utilitarian buildings. We wanted to show, well, these are already here. It's what we got, but what can we do with them without tearing them down? We wanted to show a counter-approach to Phoenix's demolition culture [cross talk]   Eve Picker: Oh, interesting.   Lorenzo Perez: -legacy. What we do have a lot of are boxes - either wood-frame boxes, but we have a lot of masonry boxes. If you've been in design or you've been in construction like I have for over 24 years, one of the most efficient buildings to remodel or to construct cost-efficiently are boxes. We're starting with, in many cases, good bones. I love the design challenge of manipulating boxes into something that was pretty uninspired and basic to something that's pretty magical and interesting.   Lorenzo Perez: So, the environmental return is can we keep these out of landfills? Can we make them more energy-efficient? Can we create an indoor/outdoor experience that adds trees? We really value landscape, especially in our urban projects. We break all the rules with that in our retail projects. People will be like, "Well, you can't see the signs." We give people the benefit of the doubt. We're like, "You know what? We're serving humans, first and foremost, not the vehicle."    Lorenzo Perez: Humans like to be in nature, and we're learning, 11 years in, that people really do value our projects because of the atmosphere and the environments that a lot of them have, with mature trees, and desert flora, and indoor/outdoor transitional spaces that open to the outdoors during the great times of year.   Lorenzo Perez: Then, obviously, our fifth return is economic. We always say ... Listen, we put economic as our fifth return because it is the foundation for our sustainability and our success, but really what we're seeking are those other four levels of return.   Eve Picker: Yeah, okay. That's pretty fabulous. So, obviously, you think socially responsible real estate is necessary in today's development landscape, and it comes in all forms. I'm wondering how you think that might be improved, because I think, probably, we're ... You, and developers like you, are still a rarity and not a commonality, so how can we shift that pendulum?    Lorenzo Perez: Our company was founded on a three-pronged mission - create, inspire, serve - really to create beauty, but to create value, and to create opportunity. The inspire part of that is a big part, and the service element of it is a big part. We try to stay focused on ... That's kind of our why - why we are even operating and why we do what we do. We try to model, for other emerging developers or even other existing developers, new ways of doing things just through our work; testing convention and trying to prove that you can make great returns and create wonderful experiences by going against convention.   Lorenzo Perez: We actually spend a lot of time with- and in mentoring roles, or at Arizona State University, in their Masters in Real Estate Development program, or through the Urban Land Institute. We try to inspire just different thinking and different approaches. I'll tell you, when we got started in Phoenix in '08, it was the start of the recession. We intentionally started our company then, because we knew that disruptive nature was going to, one, open doors to opportunity, but it was also going to allow us to buy properties at basis that would allow us to experiment and show new ways of doing things.   Lorenzo Perez: I look at where we're at today across the city, and there's a whole slew of developers. Really, the bar has been raised, and they're approaching things with more sensitivity. I think it's part of what's happening here, but I think it's part of what's happening everywhere, where people want a more meaningful experience. They want to feel good about the places they patronize. I think it's [cross talk] yeah, social conscience is definitely changing.   Eve Picker: One of the things that has changed, of course, is that many more people are coming back to cities. That has also kind of moved that type of development along. When I started doing real-estate development work in Pittsburgh, most people thought I was crazy, but it's worked out pretty well. The really interesting, not dissimilar story to yours, going to abandoned neighborhoods can be so fruitful in so many different ways-   Lorenzo Perez: We found that that very liberating because they're just- they're so hungry, and motivated, enthusiastic for positive change. Quite often, we go into these communities, and they've been dealing with blight, and issue. I think what we've learned in reflecting back on the work and analyzing the impact some of our projects have had on the communities they've been developed in is that I think you give people hope and confidence.    Lorenzo Perez: I think we realized that more in the deep recession - that sort of 2010 through '13, when we were really kind of feeling the pain in Phoenix here. People were uplifted by these places that were positive. They were different. They offered a place where people could come together and have a positive experience, even down to the economic community and the economic-development piece of it.   Lorenzo Perez: People were so grateful for the jobs; to be involved in such [cross talk] To be involved in such meaningful projects that were valued. People were excited about it, so they felt ... I love the sense of pride that you would see at our friends and family openings, when we would invite our trades peoples to this. You could see the pride of the laborer, or the carpenter, or the tradesman, when they brought their families; like, "Yeah, we did this."    Lorenzo Perez: The impact of investing can go well beyond the economics of the return to the developer, or the tenants, or what have you. It really can be pretty fruitful for the neighborhood [cross talk] I mean, we've seen tremendous stimulation in terms of attracting additional reinvestment in redevelopment.   Eve Picker: Yeah, no, I think that's right. Are there any current trends in real estate that are sort of interesting to you at the moment?   Lorenzo Perez: Yeah. I find real estate very creative and innovative right now. I love the spirit behind especially infill, and redevelopment, and reuse. We're seeing some really fun projects out there. I'm intrigued and enthused by places like food courts. I'm an '80s kid. I grew up in malls. I just find it interesting ... I've traveled across the US, and I've seen all kinds of food courts, but man, they sure are resonating with people as food hubs in this foodie culture. People are coming and gathering around a meal. There's just so much some symbolic pieces to that. I just love ... They've become sort of these living rooms.   Lorenzo Perez: I'm really intrigued with mobility and the built environment responding to the rapid innovation and evolution we're seeing in technology. I'm fascinated with mobility, and in Arizona, we're at the heart of autonomous-vehicle development. We're involved in some creative consulting projects, where we're partnering with groups out of the Bay Area.    Lorenzo Perez: We're working on a project right now, where they're developing a carless residential mixed-use community. Just the whole- when you really think about that - what would it be like to support carless living in a city like Phoenix? It's really pretty disruptive, and stretches the brain, but it's so liberating in so many ways not to be locked down with a car.    Lorenzo Perez: It's fun to look at things like autonomous vehicle, and how do we do Instacart food delivery. If we're going to have an onsite grocery, maybe it's more of a hacked version, where it's really more of a processing and storage place, where people gather and have a social experience, because they can get food delivery from [cross talk] Now, the grocery doesn't have to be there; it can be delivered to you.    Eve Picker: Even in Pittsburgh, which is a hilly city, over the last 10 years, we've seen an explosion bike riders and also an explosion of people who really don't want to own a car. It's been interesting watching the code changes, because I'm working on a little project at the moment, where, in a neighborhood that used to demand one vehicle per unit, and now you get a 50-percent discount. It's gone beyond just pioneering now. It's starting to infiltrate government.    Lorenzo Perez: It really is. We're seeing scooters, bikes, trails, pedestrian-oriented trails systems [cross talk].   Eve Picker: Right. So, Lorenzo, I have to ask you, with all the super-malls that are vacant, what would you do with those?    Lorenzo Perez: Yes! Oh, my God, that's [cross talk]    Eve Picker: -that is for sale.   Lorenzo Perez: It's so funny. When we started our company, people were like, "That's an interesting focus, redevelopment," but I was just like ... To me, it made a lot of sense, because I just knew we were going into an area of serious change, and re-imagination, and having to really respond to the evolution of technology. Malls, to me, are fascinating [cross talk]    Eve Picker: They really are, aren't they?    Lorenzo Perez: -expanses of land, the sizes of buildings, the linear nature of them. They're really unique design challenges. Yeah, I would love an opportunity. I'm sure we'll fall into them. We've seen some interesting redevelopments in Phoenix, because we're like Strip-center Mall Epicenter of the Southwest. It's really funny to see some of the creative ideas coming out around ... A lot of them are turning into mixed-use hubs, where they're integrating housing, and lodging, and creative office. Even things like the big boxes becoming inner city fulfillment for e-commerce, which is a pretty fascinating mix [cross talk]   Eve Picker: Yeah, I mean it's a really completely different landscape. Retail isn't what it used to be. It's fascinating. We have a lot of them around here. There's one in particular that is just completely vacant. It's enormous, and I think about what it might become. It could be interesting-.   Lorenzo Perez: I'll tell you, the other trends that are exciting to me are, like you said, e-commerce is really- I think retail is really interesting. It's really becoming more experience-based. I think micro hospitality, what Airbnb has done to really just totally turn logic in housing inside out is pretty fascinating, Even the Tiny Home Movement, I thought maybe was probably more of a trend, but it seems like people are really valuing scarcity and preciousness. They're willing to do more with less, if they get the space they need. It's just- it's a really fascinating time [cross talk]    Eve Picker: It is fascinating. It is really fascinating. I suppose the big question is what do we need to think about to make our cities and neighborhoods better places for everyone? Clearly, you are; you are really thinking about that a lot. I'm also wondering what community-engagement tools you have seen that have worked for you? It sounds very much like you do engage your community a lot, and I'm wondering how you go about doing that?    Lorenzo Perez: We do it on a variety of levels. First and foremost, every one of our projects has required some sort of entitlement and community outreach. We learned early on that if you're going to do this kind of work, you've ... It's kind of like dating. You got to make yourself vulnerable and available.   Lorenzo Perez: We do all our speaking. We started really with the mission to own and operate our buildings. Really, we feel we have a responsibility as stewards to those properties to be a good neighbor, and to be a good listener. It has not been always a pleasant experience. We [cross talk].   Eve Picker: No, that's for sure.    Lorenzo Perez: -people continue - moreso in the beginning - continue to question our agenda, or our authenticity. I'll tell you, 11 years in, and having a nice track record and a nice body of work behind us that shows consistency helps us way more today. We're being invited in, and people are excited when we're coming into neighborhoods.   Lorenzo Perez: The speaking for ourselves, one of the things we also do is willing to meet with people, especially the pessimist, one on one. We make the job site open to people. I'm a big fan of giving tours, because I get as much out of it as they do. I find that that one-on-one is such a human piece of it. We're not always successful. We've had people that have opposed us, start to finish; maybe it's a little less contentious at the end, because you've kind of built a relationship.   Lorenzo Perez: I just learned that you're not going to always turn everybody. I can control what I can control, and I can control our behavior, our actions, by just doing what we say we're going to do. I can't emphasize that enough - if you're going to be in this business, and you're going to be in it long term, you've got to do what you say you're going to do. If you stub your toe in any shape, way, or form, you've got to be willing to be accountable, and say, "Hey, we didn't anticipate that," or, "Yeah, we should have done that better, but we're not running away from it. We'll be here to help fix it."   Eve Picker: Yeah, somehow, the name 'developer' has become a dirty word in our society.   Lorenzo Perez: Yeah, demonized.   Eve Picker: But you're not all the same. You notice that there are quite a few developers out there- I see them through Small Change every day, who are extremely thoughtful about what they do and really care about the communities. There's just so much mistrust, it's really a shame.   Lorenzo Perez: Yeah, it's unfortunate. I think any industry probably has that, but you know ... It's funny, Kimber will sort of cringe when I tell people I'm a real-estate developer, because she knows how demonized [cross talk] She looks at me, and just goes, "You're so much more than ... You're so not a developer," and I just sort of chuckle. That's why I tell people I'm really more of a real-estate entrepreneur. People ask me, "What do you mean by that?" I just say, "Well, I mean, we touch every aspect of it. We design the concept. We design the building. We design the operating system. We finance it. We lease it. We own it. We build it. We operate it. We maintain it. We manage it. We do everything around it."   Eve Picker: Yeah.    Lorenzo Perez: So, I don't know ... They're all so unique.   Eve Picker: There are lots like you though, and-.   Lorenzo Perez: There are.   Eve Picker: That's what makes it sad that we can't say what we do and be proud of it, yeah?    Lorenzo Perez: I don't know, maybe there needs to be a shift in semantics or something. But you know the Small Scale Forum, through ULI, is not only social, and networking, it's also part therapy.   Eve Picker: Yes.   Lorenzo Perez: To commiserate with each other, because ... I'm always amazed that, no matter where we're at in the US, or sometimes even out of the country, how consistent that is, because of the actions of others that are just purely transactional [cross talk]   Eve Picker: Yeah, that's right. I think that's right. Do you think that equity crowdfunding could play a role in building communities like [cross talk].   Lorenzo Perez: Oh, absolutely. I just [cross talk]    Eve Picker: That's a loaded question, Lorenzo.   Lorenzo Perez: Yeah, I know, I know, I know! The quick answer is absolutely, yes. I've always had an interest in it, and we're going to do something together, Eve, I know it!   Eve Picker: I know we are, yeah.    Lorenzo Perez: You know, what I love about it is the democratization of finance. I'm such a critic on our broken system that's really set up to do big, soulless projects. What I love about the crowdfunding is that this provides access for, and the platform, and opportunity for people to vote with their dollar, and support things that are close to them that are on their Main Street, not Wall Street kind of a deal.    Lorenzo Perez: I think it's great for the developer. I think it's great for the communities. I think it's great for the individual, who maybe doesn't want to take the level of capital risk, but wants to maybe invest in real estate, indirectly, or they just flat out want to support an initiative [cross talk]   Eve Picker: Right. They want to invest in their city, which is really why we're doing it. I suppose my wrap-up question for you is where do you think the future of real-estate impact investing lies?   Lorenzo Perez: I think we're going to see a lot more of it. I think with just such a social mission being part of business today, from very micro business to the mega business, I think there's a expectation that- an obligation that businesses have to do good on some level. With real estate, I don't think we're going to be any different. I think it's only going to grow.   Eve Picker: Now I have three sign-off questions, which I have to you.   Lorenzo Perez: Sure.    Eve Picker: I'm asking everyone these, because it's very interesting to see the variety of answers I get. The first is what's the key factor that makes a real-estate project impactful to you?    Lorenzo Perez: For us, it's one that has the opportunity to hit on all those five levels of return that we identified for holistic ROI. We get presented a ton of opportunities that ... A good chunk of them, return on one or two. I mean, there's one that's kind of like, eh, that one could be a home run, but it really ... Sure it provides great impact for me and maybe puts a use in an underused building, but outside of that, I don't know if it's adding the value that we're seeking. We're looking for a building or a real-estate project that has the ability to generate those five levels of return.   Eve Picker: Okay. Other than just raising money, do you think there are other benefits for involving a crowd of investors in real estate?   Lorenzo Perez: Yeah. I think it provides potentially a disruptive force and influence to shake up the system that's geared towards bigger projects and maybe commodity stuff. I think it's going to, like every industry is seeing, I think it's going to continue to grow and force the big banks and lending institutions to innovate and be more flexible. If they don't, they're going to become quickly irrelevant, because people aren't necessarily going to need to ... Like we're seeing in other industries, before the players were two or three key people, but then once it gets fragmented, there's abundant choices on how you could finance a real-estate project, as we're seeing.   Eve Picker: Yeah. I always think that the traditional banks ... First of all, we had, I think, 15,000, over 15,000 banks 20 years ago, and we're down to less than 5,000 now. Innovation is being squashed out of these sort of real-estate deals by financial institutions that have to follow very, very rigorous rules about what they invest in. What they want to invest in is what they've seen before and not something new. It's very, very difficult.   Lorenzo Perez: I'm actually fascinated that- I'm going to be fascinated to see, because of what we're seeing - so much disruption in so many industries. We've got these weird forces. You've got this demand for one-of-a-kind, unproven, disruptive-type projects that don't fit the mold of lending. You also have a situation where you have just a ton of money in capital out in the marketplace.   Lorenzo Perez: I think people are just learning now that, "Hey, maybe I don't have to put it through the big bank. Maybe we can just do private lending and not be so restrictive." I think when we start ... We're starting to see things loosen up. We're starting to see more creative projects. It's only going to get exacerbated when we start seeing disruption in construction, like 3-D printing, or panelization, or modulation, that don't fit the black-and-white criteria that maybe a bank wants, or appraisers want to see - abundant parking. We're seeing so much fragmentation; I think you're going to see capital follow.   Eve Picker: Yes, I think that will be great. I'm hoping that's what Small Change can do [cross talk] play a little part in, but it's very difficult to do a new, and necessary project at the moment. Then here's the really big question: how do you think real-estate development in the US can be improved?    Lorenzo Perez: First, I'd go back to finance. We've got to find more flexible and creative financing vehicles that facilitate innovation and creativity, in both uses, and in product type. On the same note, building upon that, I think we need a major policy overhaul in cities across the US. I think we're seeing examples, but we need to really ...    Lorenzo Perez: As we are looking at more urbanization, I could just speak to Phoenix. We were really built around suburban, greenfield development models. Like my hotel project, I think we have something like 20 variances and 10 use permits to get what we want done. It's just kind of like why? It costs a lot of time and money. It limits creativity and adaptability. I think for cities to be [cross talk].   Eve Picker: -you're paving the way.   Lorenzo Perez: Yeah, so policy changes on zoning and land use is going to be my number two. My number three, too, is just more acceptance of alternative delivery for construction and manufacturing. On the flip side, the complimentary piece of that is we've got to re -dignify the trades and not push everyone into college, and get more craftsman out there because [cross talk]    Lorenzo Perez: At the end of the day, we're building the built environment for human beings, and human beings are emotional, soulful creatures. While I do believe that automation, and robotics, and all that stuff are definitely going to help mitigate the lack of labor, at the end of the day, you still need that human sensitivity I think to deliver environments that humans want to live in and the artful piece of it the craft know from the hand from the human being with the emotional sensitivity is key. I'd like to see shop programs, and the arts revalued in the education system. Weaving business into the arts from a young age, I think, will really help the future of real estate and just business in general.   Eve Picker: Well, that's a really lovely way to wrap up, and I'm certain that you've convinced a lot of people that all developers are not bad. If they haven't gone to your website yet, I'm sure they will any moment now. I know I'm itching to go back and take a look at what you're working on.   Lorenzo Perez: Thanks.   Eve Picker: Thank you very much, Lorenzo, and we'll be talking soon.   Lorenzo Perez: Yes, Eve. It was a pleasure. It was great catching up with you. Thanks for the opportunity to share.   Eve Picker: Okay, bye.   Lorenzo Perez: Bye-bye.   Eve Picker: That was Lorenzo Perez. I've come away thoroughly inspired by his entrepreneurial approach to real estate, and I'm itching to stay in his new hotel in Phoenix, as soon as it opens.   Eve Picker: Here are some things I learned from Lorenzo. First that ugly-duckling buildings can make fantastic projects. Approach them like an artist does, as a blank canvas, and so much can emerge. Second that developers can take an entrepreneurial and opportunistic approach injecting creativity instead of formula into their projects. Third, that disruption in both real-estate, and financing models will lead to better cities and neighborhoods for everyone. Financial institutions are squeezing the ability of creative developers like Lorenzo to experiment. This has to change.   Eve Picker: You can find out more about impact real-estate investing and access the show notes for today's episode at my website, EvePicker.com. While you're there, sign up for my newsletter to find out more about how to make money in real estate while building better cities. We'll talk again soon, but for now this is Eve Picker signing off to go make some change.

The boys shoot the breeze with our buddy and new dad, Googie. All manner of topics are discussed, including thirty years in the making concert experiences, proto-Python television, and red stormtroopers.

.The BBC have a programme called "Newswatch" where they read out comments from the public (mostly adverse).....I had to laugh last week when there were several Emails regarding the scrapping of free TV licences for the over 75s....the Emails were rightly harsh and asked why so much money was spent on sending reporters abroad for things that could be done in the studio...and why they pay such ridiculous salaries to their executives....and that was that....no explanation....they simply went on to the next subject with some representative of the BBC coming on and basically seeing no wrong in anything they do.....so WHY BOTHER WITH THE PROGRAMME? Jo Brand has been severely criticised for a joke she made about Nigel Farage after some idiot threw milkshake at him.....she quipped that battery acid would have been better......I am fan of Jo Brand but I thought this comment was well out of order....especially in the present climate where it is very easy to put ideas into the heads of the neanderthals wandering around.....it was on a BBC recorded programme so apparently it could have been edited out....but the wonderful BBC decided to leave it in.....may as well incite a bit of violence when you get the chance.....the media have a lot to answer for in my opinion....... There's one thing which really brasses me off ...it's so called celebs who put their name to an album of their favourite records....the latest is The Trevor Nelson Collection...with a picture of HIM on the album sleeve....he's not ON any of the tracks it's just a "collection" of his favourite songs.......all he does is PLAY them....what a load of tripe.....Michael Parkinson was another with HIS "collection" of famous swing records...talk about cashing in on someone else's talent. Another waste of space is the film "critic" or the music "critic"....anyone can watch a film or listen to a record and make personal comments....unless you can act or play an instrument get lost....there are too many overpaid hangers-on in the entertainment business.....and too many know nothing "judges" on talent shows. The original contract between The Beatles and Brian Epstein is up for auction and is expected to fetch 300 grand....which says it all....it's a piece of paper...what are you going to do with it?....it's not as if it's George's guitar which at least you can play....or have I got it wrong....on the subject of Eppy....a pal of mine who plays bass with me at our weekly fundraising jam sessions has a connection with Mr.Epstein....he once worked in N.E.M.S. (which was Epstein's music store) and after two weeks Mr.Epstein actually spoke to him.....he said "We won't be needing you anymore".....that's his claim to fame......he should have got Espy to put it in writing....could have made a fortune. The song this week is one I wrote for a local young lady called Penny Page who was a ventriloquist....whose act included a very popular Scouse duck called Googi....my band and her were on the same bill back in the day and I thought a song for her duck would enhance her act so I came up with "Googi The Liverpool Duck"....which she included in her act.....I had completely forgotten about this when 4 years later she rang me and told me she had made a record of it.....next thing it was record of the week on Radio City....she performed it on TV including The Palladium ....it eventually ended up in a film called "Priest".......which all goes to prove there is no time limit on material.....just get it out there......so I give you my local classic "Googi The Liverpool Duck"

.The BBC have a programme called "Newswatch" where they read out comments from the public (mostly adverse).....I had to laugh last week when there were several Emails regarding the scrapping of free TV licences for the over 75s....the Emails were rightly harsh and asked why so much money was spent on sending reporters abroad for things that could be done in the studio...and why they pay such ridiculous salaries to their executives....and that was that....no explanation....they simply went on to the next subject with some representative of the BBC coming on and basically seeing no wrong in anything they do.....so WHY BOTHER WITH THE PROGRAMME? Jo Brand has been severely criticised for a joke she made about Nigel Farage after some idiot threw milkshake at him.....she quipped that battery acid would have been better......I am fan of Jo Brand but I thought this comment was well out of order....especially in the present climate where it is very easy to put ideas into the heads of the neanderthals wandering around.....it was on a BBC recorded programme so apparently it could have been edited out....but the wonderful BBC decided to leave it in.....may as well incite a bit of violence when you get the chance.....the media have a lot to answer for in my opinion.......

There is a move afoot to cease sending people to prison for sentences less than 6 months.....naturally this has been received with mixed opinions......but unless you have been closely involved with the prison system....having either been inside or knowing someone who has it is impossible to know what it's like.....it's very easy to say "they deserve it" but everyone is different......whereas one criminal may be non-violent another may be the opposite....and you can't legislate for the latter as they are probably incurable. 2.I watched a programme on Les Dawson's life.....it simply showed what a comedy genius he was....and there was another programme on Bob Monkhouse....again a very clever man.....it's such a shame that stand up comedy has lost its way.....however it hasn't completely vanished as we still have the likes of "Would I Lie to you" and "Room 101" with the likes of Frank Skinner....Lee Mac and Rob Brydon who are very funny so there is still hope......and speaking of comedy someone put a picture of Prince Edward sitting with his wife in a horse drawn carriage with a long line of medals on his chest.....it was suggested he must have had an exciting time in very short time he was in the Marines.......surely this could be construed as impersonating a soldier?....still I suppose his mum loves him. 3.Forget the problems throughout the world.....the news headlines have been taken over by Andy Murray's sore hip.....he was interviewed and broke down in tears.....it could be the end of his career!!!!....what will he do??....apart from joining the overpaid TV pundit fraternity...and perhaps opening a tennis school...not to mention making TV adverts...and putting his name to tennis gear....what will he do?....oh I feel so sorry for the poor chap............................and on the subject of TV there is a new programme called "The Greatest Dancer" which is another past it's sell by date format.....the programme is bad enough with the talentless Cheryl Cole on the judging panel but on come these hopefuls who want to become dancing stars with the camera shot constantly flitting between them and the judges and the audience....so the viewer misses most of the moves.....the producer should go back to taking holiday snaps.....same old tripe. 4.As I said last week we are a nation of moaners and complainers yet most people don't know what REAL problems are.....I support an organisation called The Cheshire Cats which is based in Wallasey in Wirral and we raise money for sick and underprivileged kids through our weekly jam sessions.........a collection of vintage rockers from the 60s play rock and roll classics to an enthusiastic loyal crowd and all the money raised goes to various charities.....we have recently given £3000 to a children's hospice called Claire House on Wirral which will make a difference to youngsters lives.......it is one of many donations we have made to them over the years.....when you visit the likes of these places with the wonderful staff you realise the THESE are REAL problems......maybe the moaners should pop in some time....they might learn something. 5.The song this week is one which has been very kind to me.....it is called "Googi The Liverpool Duck" .... it was written for a friend of mine called Penny Page.....who had a ventriloquist act with a very colourful duck.....back in he day my band was sharing a gig with her...she was then known as "Peppy and The Popettes".....Googi being one of the Popettes....and I told her that the duck was the star of her show and I'll knock a song together for her and Googi.........I did this (in a very short time) and gave it to her... four years later she presented me with the record she had made of the song.....she performed it on The Palladium and it was featured in a film alled "Priest" sung by a church choir......all from a chance meeting at a gig.

Michigan, that fine state shaped like your hand, is a hotbed of amazing Modernism.  Today George Smart and co-host Bob Langford chat with three knowledgeable guests about Michigan Modern.  Michael Dow is President of the Alden and Vada Dow Family Foundations based in a town where the cherry pie is always amazing, Charlevoix Michigan.  Established in 1960, the Foundation benefits central Michigan. He’s the son of architect Alden Dow, who took a sharp left from the Dow family chemical business and became a world-class Modernist architect based in Midland Michigan.  You’ve heard a lot over the last few years about Columbus, Indiana, but Midland ranks right up there as one of the most remarkable Modernist enclaves in America.  Susan Bandes is Professor of Art History and Director of Museum Studies at Michigan State University. She ran MSU's Kresge Art Museum which is now the Broad Art Museum and curated exhibitions on Frank Lloyd Wright, and American Modernism. She teaches Renaissance and Baroque Art, Modern Architecture, Curatorial Practices and is author of Mid-Michigan Modern: From Frank Lloyd Wright to Googie.  She’s also an expert on a chain  called Dawn’s Donuts. Brian Conway is the longtime State Historic Preservation Officer in Michigan.  He is co-author of Michigan Modern: Design That Shaped America and won the 2016 Advocacy Award from Docomomo-US.  That stands for the Documentation and Conservation of the Modern Movement, not to be confused to Kokomo, a Beach Boys song.  His new book, Michigan Modern: An Architectural Legacy has remarkable color photography taken expressly for this book by James Haefner. Dropping by the studio, the Mac McLaughlin Group: Mac McLaughlin, Mike Randall, Peter Joyner, and Kevin Golden.

For this episode of Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Mark Vonderwell, also known as “Googie” on MicroCapClub.com. I met Mark at the MicroCapClub Leadership Summit last year in Chicago, and over breakfast, we discussed his investing approach. It was during this conversation that I was introduced to Mark’s particular focus and pension for investing in Special Situations. After meeting Mark in Chicago, I read a few of his articles he posted on MicroCapClub.com and thought he’d be the perfect guest to discuss investing in Special Situations. The goal for this episode is to learn more about different Special Situations, Mark’s approach to investing in Spinoffs and Rights Offerings, for example, and his advice for new MicroCap investors.

2pm ET / 1pm CT / 12pm MT / 11am PT (Outside US: Dial 00 + 1 + 714-464-4891) Viki Winterton interviews Steve Hayes!  British born Ivan Hayes first arrived in Hollywood in 1949 and moved there permanently in 1950. An actor for ten years, he worked in movies at MGM, Warner Bros., Paramount, Columbia, RKO, Universal Studios and the Samuel Goldwyn Studios as well as in early network television and radio. While he was under contract at 20th Century Fox, the studio insisted Ivan find a more American-sounding name. He chose Steve, after the name of his friend Steve Reeves, a former Mr. Universe who later became world-famous as "Hercules." When not acting or writing books and screenplays, Steve helped support himself by working in restaurants and parking cars at Hollywood's glamorous Sunset Strip nightspots like the Mocambo, Ciro's, Villa Nova, and The Players. He also did detective work for the Fred Otash Detective Agency and painted movie stars' homes and famous places like the Garden of Allah. Then, in 1954, he became night manager of Googie's, a popular coffee shop next to Schwab's Drugstore that was made famous by James Dean, John Saxon, Natalie Wood, Rod Steiger, James Garner, Jayne Mansfield and other celebrities like western writer Louis L'Amour and Hollywood gossip columnist Sidney Skolsky. During that time Steve befriended numerous movie stars like Errol Flynn, Tyrone Power, Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, Clark Gable, Alan Ladd, Lana Turner, Sterling Hayden and Robert Middleton, all of whom influenced his life and gave him material for his recently published two-volume memoirs, Googie's: Coffee Shop to the Stars. Steve still writes novels and screenplays and presently lives at the beach in Huntington Beach, California, with his lovely wife of twenty-five years, Robbin.

Pull up a cantilevered stool and order a malt while we delve into the architectural style with the irritating name that defined the look of Los Angeles.  We'll touch on the architects and establishments that made it possible from the eponymous Googie's itself to the legendary Armet and Davis.  No substitutions.

Dr. Susan J. Bandes is Professor of Art History and Director of the Museum Studies Program in the College of Arts and Letters. Bandes served as Director of MSU’s Kresge Art Museum (now the Broad Art Museum) from 1986 until 2010 where she curated numerous exhibitions and wrote many catalogues. She teaches Renaissance and Baroque Art, Modern Architecture and Curatorial Practices. Bandes completed a manuscript titled “Mid-Michigan Modern: From Frank Lloyd Wright to Googie,” a study of architecture between 1940 and 1970 that will be published by the MSU Press in 2016. She is a member of the Print Council of America and is a frequent assessor and accreditor for the American Alliance of Museums. Her research interests cover a broad arena from Old Master prints to American painting and sculpture of the 1930s and 40s. Bandes earned her doctorate from Bryn Mawr College, specializing in Roman Baroque painting.

How you pronounce Googie, french fry and buffalo wing greased balls, supportive pants, continuity errors, T-Bone Burnett's hunger game, Jeff Golblum's Adam in 1998, Mary Zophres doesn't do shit (She only does the finest quality work), sputnik shapes, Chandler's big sleep, the physics of ball spin and the logistics of filming it, the little man in Adam, celebratory strike dances, and the present as imagined by 1950s futurists.

They discuss the importance of the now-empty Johnie's Coffee Shop on Wilshire and Fairfax; what being a civic booster means in Los Angeles; the remains of the postwar American car culture of easy, breezy livin', and their enduring value; the preponderance of hard-to-explain objects across the Los Angeles landscape, and how he explains them in his writing; the richness and strange inhospitability of La Brea Avenue, currently caught between old and new ideas of the city; architectural preservation, and how much of it in Los Angeles is too much; the surviving Googie coffee shops like Pann's and Norms, Wayne McAllister's pre-Googie creations, and their place in the city's historical palimpsest; his determination to help tourists determine and discover their fantasy of Los Angeles, of which countless many exist; why you have to go out and find the city, and why it will simply never come to you; the wonders of Cucamonga; how he's used Los Angeles as his own personal party space; the Dutch chocolate shop that became a swap meet, and the spectacular twenties movie palace that became a storeroom; how things filled out when "the world moved in" to places like Koreatown, where you can find, for instance, a cafe that is also a boat; what meaning, if any, Frank Gehry's much-discussed Disney Concert Hall has; and his desire to get lost in Los Angeles once again

Colin Marshall takes a trip to the 99¢ Only Store and beyond with Billy Vasquez, better known as the 99 Cent Chef. They discuss the store as a prime venue for peoplewatching (whether the people dress in their Sunday best or in pink-striped miniskirts); the appeal of midcentury Googie diner architecture; how he drove out to Venice Beach on the 10 and stayed in Los Angeles for 37 years; the meaty usefulness of both chorizo and soyrizo; asparagus, a product you'd never have found at any 99-cent store a decade ago; 99-cent Italian beer with 99-cent Italian pasta, and 99-cent German beer with 99-cent German chocolate cake-coated marshmallows; ingredient substitution (like cumin for curry powder) as the essential skill of the 99-cent gourmand; the strange allure of Vienna Sausage corn dogs; inventing the only pasta that pays tribute to John Cassavetes; the suicidal possibilities of marshmallow ropes; the delicious possibilities of portobello crab rockefeller; the Banquet-to-Contessa spectrum of frozen dinners; the two-piece 99-cent deal to be had every Tuesday at Popeyes'; the Los Angeles Expo Line as a glorious passageway to places like Earlez Grille, Let's Be Frank, and Chef Marilyn's Soul Food Express, and his adventures at cheap eateries on rail lines past; how his Cajun heritage taught him, with nutria and crayfish, that you can eat anything; his street photography, and the Restaurant Nocturnes video series that came out of it; and all of the fascinating contradictions of Los Angeles, a city both beautiful and tarnished, that just might disappear if you don't water it.
