Bonus segment my personal favorite Goodreads list Em is on is REALLY Underrated Books (Fewer Than 1,000 Ratings) Happy Reading Everyone Today's Library Tidbit is a history tidbit! Specifically, the history of and highlighting modern day celebration of Pride. Pride is the celebration and recognition of LGBTQIA people and rights. It began in New York City but has since spread across the globe. In areas of the world where there are more LGBTQIA social acceptance and rights Pride tends to be a celebration. In areas of the world where there are few or no LGBTQIA social acceptance and rights Pride is protest. This is a simplification as of course there will always be some celebrating when LGBTQIA people gather together and there will always be protest when LGBTQIA people gather together. LGBTQIA people are still fighting for basic human rights everywhere. The most famous initiating event for Pride was the Stonewall Uprising. While there had been protests in Chicago and California prior to June 28, 1969, the Stonewall Uprising is the protest that is gained the most publicity and sparked the most change. LGBTQIA people have faced a great deal of discrimination throughout modern history. For one example, in the 1960s everyone had to be wearing at least 3 articles of clothing of their assumed, by police, gender and if the police decided that they were not they were arrested and jailed. Just a reminder, clothing does not have a gender, so this was used to harass and imprison everyone in the LGBTQIA community at will. The Stonewall Inn was a popular bar for the LGBTQIA community in New York. The Inn was run by the mafia who did not particularly care who used the space as long as they paid. It had no running water and was in general not in great shape. It was routinely raided by the police looking to harass and imprison people for being gay or trans or just not the right sort. On June 28th 1969, the police raided once again, but this time something different happened. As people were being loaded into police wagons a woman yelled to the standing crowd “Why don't you guys do something?” and so they did. The next 3 days the LGBTQIA community of New York protested against the hate crimes and police brutality they had been facing for their entire lives. But what started as loosely organized protesting soon coalesced into a movement and organized activism. Over the next few years groups formed to fight in a more organized way for gay rights in society and politics. One year after the Stonewall Uprising one of these groups through what was called the Christopher Street Liberation Day march. Christopher being the street the Stonewall Inn is on. Simultaneously there were Gay Pride marches happening in Los Angeles and Chicago that year as well. Since then every year Gay Pride marches have grown and spread from across the US to across the globe. Locally, St Pete Pride is the largest of the Pride gatherings. The event started in 2003 after Tampa cancelled their Pride event. What started as a modest parade down Central Ave has grown into a months long celebration with multiple events highlighting different groups of people within the LGBTQIA community. While the Mayor at the time would not sign a proclamation the now current Mayor, and then City Council member, Rick Kriseman, did sign a proclamation for the event. In 2017, the parade route was moved from the Grand Central District to the do...

We're back in the Grand Central District of St. Petersburg today, getting our Mario Kart on. Right Around the Corner Arcade Brewery is one of the smallest breweries in the Tampa/St. Pete area, but has one of the best brewery experiences. Tons of pinball games, old-school game consoles, and really excellent beer. While my daughter played rather loud games of Skee-Ball in the back, I spoke to co-owner and brewer, Tom Rockhill, about opening a brewery and filling it with lots and lots of games. Plenty of time was spent discussing not only the joys of brewing on a small system along with how the old NES zappers are completely useless these days.

Today's Guest: Novelist Cheryl Hollon, author of Pane and Suffering: A Webb's Glass Shop Mystery and Shards of Murder.   Watch this exclusive Mr. Media interview with Cheryl Hollon by clicking on the video player above!  Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience full of people who came to town for the beach and left with happy, full tummies and wild nightlife tales… in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida! First novels are hard. Writing them is a challenge, finding a publisher is a major mountain to climb, and promoting them may be the hardest task of all. But when my friend Howard Finberg told me that a friend of his was writing a mystery series set in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida, I committed without even reading the first book. After all, Mr. Media has been describing St. Pete as “the NEW new media capitol of the world” since 2007 – whether the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce likes it or not – so how I could I not help out an up-and-coming writer? CHERYL HOLLON podcast excerpt: "The glass shop in Pane and Suffering is a premise and it comes along with the genre. It's like the Cabot Cove Syndrome: Why would anyone live in Cabot Cove? Because she would write about you and your murder! But the Webb's Glass Shop gives me license to play. I can concentrate on a different type of glass in each book. The first book is about stained glass. The second is about fusing glass and about judging an art festival. And the third book is about recycling glass." You can LISTEN to this interview with novelist CHERYL HOLLON, author of PANE AND SUFFERING, by clicking the audio player above! Cheryl Hollon’s first mystery is Pane and Suffering. The pane she is referring to is spelled P-A-N-E as in a pane of glass. That established, it is nonetheless a story of the pain – P-A-I-N – endured by our heroine, Savannah Webb, following the sudden death of her father, the owner of Webb’s Glass Shop in the booming-yet-still-quaint Grand Central District of downtown St. Petersburg. Hollon uses the invented location to share some love with an endless array of real-life St. Pete landmarks and restaurants, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Casita Taqueria, Queen’s Head, 3 Daughters Brewing and so much more. CHERYL HOLLON podcast excerpt: "I think my writing finally matured to the point it was enjoyable to read. That sounds so simple but it is devilishly hard. I enjoyed having a person-to-person critique group. That was incredibly useful." It is, of course, a first novel and so it’s not perfect. But it is a mix of intrigue, detective work and recognizable places that anyone who lives in the Burg or who has visited in the last five years will find entertaining. Key interview moments: • 5:45 Cheryl Hollon cites influences such as Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and Louise Penny; • 13:30 Webb's Glass Shop is a vehicle for Hollon's storytelling the same way that Cabot Cove is for Jessica Fletcher in "Murder, She Wrote"; • 20:15 After years of writing, what pushed Hollon from unpublished amateur to published author? Cheryl Hollon Website • Facebook • Twitter • Goodreads • LibraryThing The Party Authority in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland!
