Podcast appearances and mentions of Holland Tunnel

Manhattan – ein Name, der sofort Bilder von Wolkenkratzern, Lichtern und endlosem Treiben hervorruft. In dieser Episode nehmen wir dich mit auf unseren persönlichen Streifzug durch den pulsierenden Kern New Yorks. Wir erzählen von der ersten Fahrt durch den Holland Tunnel, von der Mischung aus Skepsis und Staunen bei der Ankunft und von unserem Leben mitten im Herzen der Stadt – zwischen Times Square und Madison Square Garden. Neben Eindrücken vom Stadtleben teilen wir kulinarische Highlights: vom entspannten Frühstück im „Toast Coffee & Brasserie“ über kreative Gerichte bis hin zum edlen STK Steakhouse. Natürlich erinnern wir uns auch an das charmante Restaurant „The Marshall“, das uns mit seiner authentischen Farm-to-Table-Küche begeisterte. Doch Manhattan ist mehr als Kulinarik: Wir nehmen dich mit zu kulturellen und architektonischen Höhepunkten wie der New York Public Library und ikonischen Filmkulissen. So entsteht ein facettenreicher Blick auf eine Stadt, die uns gleichermaßen überwältigt, inspiriert und immer wieder überrascht.

This Day in Legal History:  Frederic William Maitland BornOn this day in legal history, May 28, 1850, Frederic William Maitland was born in London. Maitland would go on to become one of the most influential legal historians of the 19th century, widely regarded as the father of modern English legal history. Educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, Maitland initially studied moral sciences before turning to the law. He was called to the bar in 1876 but soon found his true calling in historical scholarship. In 1888, he was appointed Downing Professor of the Laws of England at Cambridge, a post he held until his death in 1906.Maitland's most enduring contribution came through his collaboration with Sir Frederick Pollock on The History of English Law before the Time of Edward I, published in 1895. This seminal work remains a cornerstone of English legal historiography, notable for its rigorous use of original sources and its narrative clarity. Maitland brought a historian's eye to legal development, emphasizing the role of institutions and the evolution of legal ideas over time. His scholarship reshaped the understanding of English common law, highlighting its medieval roots and its organic, often non-linear, development.Beyond his academic writings, Maitland played a critical role in editing and publishing primary legal texts, including year books and medieval court rolls, through his work with the Selden Society, of which he was a founding member. His meticulous editing practices set new standards for legal historical methodology. Despite a relatively short life—he died at 56—Maitland's intellectual legacy continues to influence the study of common law traditions worldwide.A federal judge ruled that a lawsuit brought by 14 states against Elon Musk and the federal agency DOGE could proceed, while dismissing claims against President Donald Trump. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan found that the states had presented a plausible argument that Musk's aggressive cost-cutting measures lacked legal authorization, though she emphasized that courts cannot interfere with a president's official duties.The lawsuit, initiated in February by attorneys general from states including Oregon and New Mexico, argues that Musk has been given sweeping, unchecked authority over federal operations without Senate confirmation or congressional authorization. The states contend this violates constitutional requirements, as Musk has not been formally appointed or confirmed for any federal office.DOGE, a newly formed government efficiency agency led by Musk, has been rapidly eliminating jobs and programs deemed wasteful, sparking significant legal pushback. Since its inception under Trump's second-term reforms, roughly 20 related lawsuits have emerged, with courts issuing mixed rulings. Critics argue the agency operates outside constitutional bounds, while supporters claim it is essential to fiscal reform.US judge allows states' lawsuit against DOGE to proceed | ReutersA federal judge ruled that President Donald Trump's executive order against law firm WilmerHale was unconstitutional, marking the third time courts have rejected such orders targeting legal opponents. U.S. District Judge Richard Leon concluded that Trump's order retaliated against WilmerHale for hiring Robert Mueller, violating the firm's rights to free speech and due process. Mueller, a former special counsel, led the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election—a probe Trump has long criticized.The executive order sought to strip WilmerHale's attorneys of security clearances, ban the firm from federal buildings, and block its clients from receiving government contracts. Judge Leon described the move as a “staggering punishment” that undermined the firm's ability to function and penalized it for protected political expression. WilmerHale celebrated the ruling, asserting that it upholds critical constitutional principles.This decision follows similar rulings by Judges Beryl Howell and John Bates, who struck down Trump's executive orders targeting Perkins Coie and Jenner & Block, respectively. A fourth ruling is pending regarding Susman Godfrey. The Department of Justice has defended the orders, insisting they fall within the president's authority, and may appeal Leon's decision.Some firms, such as Paul Weiss and Latham & Watkins, reached agreements with the Trump administration to avoid penalties by pledging nearly $1 billion in pro bono services. These deals have sparked concern within the legal industry, with critics warning they reflect dangerous capitulation to political pressure.Judge bars Trump order against law firm tied to Robert Mueller | ReutersWilmerHale Wins Quick Ruling Against Trump's Executive Order (2)U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman temporarily blocked the Trump administration from rescinding federal approval and funding related to New York City's congestion pricing program. The judge's order came just one day before the U.S. Department of Transportation, under Secretary Sean Duffy, was set to begin withholding environmental approvals and project funds from the city and state. The Trump administration had revoked the program's federal green light in February, arguing it unfairly burdened drivers and lacked a free highway alternative. New York officials, including Governor Kathy Hochul and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), sued to stop the federal rollback, calling the move politically motivated and unconstitutional.The congestion pricing program, which began in January, charges most vehicles $9 during peak hours to enter Manhattan below 60th Street. Designed to reduce traffic and fund transit improvements, the initiative has shown clear signs of success in its first 100 days. Traffic congestion has dropped significantly, with up to 6 million fewer cars entering lower Manhattan compared to the same period a year ago. Commutes through bottlenecks like the Holland Tunnel have seen delays cut by nearly half, and traffic-related injuries in the zone have also declined by about 50%.Other measurable benefits include a 70% drop in complaints about excessive car-honking and improved bus speeds to the point that some drivers have to slow down to stay on schedule. Economic indicators like Broadway ticket sales and pedestrian foot traffic are up, suggesting that the tolls haven't deterred business as critics warned. Public transit ridership has also increased, particularly on the LIRR and Metro-North, reinforcing that many former drivers are switching to trains.Despite early skepticism and political backlash—including Trump's own social media mockery of the program—the numbers show that congestion pricing is working. The MTA expects to raise about $500 million this year, funding upgrades like subway elevators, electric buses, and the next phase of the Second Avenue Subway. While final legal outcomes remain uncertain, for now, both traffic and funding are moving in the right direction.US judge temporarily blocks Trump administration from killing New York congestion program | ReutersHow Well Is Congestion Pricing Doing?

//The Wire//2300Z April 10, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: FLOODING CONCERNS REMAIN IN KENTUCKY. OIL SPILL CLEANUP CONTINUES IN NORTH DAKOTA. USA/CHINA TRADE SPAT ESCALATES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-New York: This afternoon a private helicopter (tail number: N216MH) crashed in the Hudson River in the vicinity of the Holland Tunnel. As of this report, no survivors have been reported, though rescue operations are ongoing.North Dakota: Tuesday morning a rupture was reported at the Keystone pipeline near Fort Ransom. Roughly 3,500 barrels of oil were spilled in a farmer's field as a result of the pipeline rupture.Kentucky: Recovery efforts continue following the flooding events of the past week. Severe weather events swept through the region last week, causing widespread damage from the floods. Many areas are still inaccessible due to roads washing out, and debris generally causing challenges with transportation.Washington D.C. - Tariff shenanigans continue as the White House clarifies the math on the total tariffs on China. So far, the final tally as of this morning is that a 145% tariff on all imports from China is in effect.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: As the helicopter crash in New York is a developing situation, not much is confirmed. Eyewitnesses state that the aircraft broke up mid-flight, with no obvious signs of distress or mechanical failure before the incident. Analysis of the aircraft's transponder data does not indicate any abnormal flight pattern before the incident that may indicate what happened. Of note, misleading videos are already circulating on social media, being pushed by very big accounts. An older video of a similar helicopter showing erratic flight is being falsely claimed to be from this incident, when in reality that footage was from a few years ago. In today's age, misleading, old, or even outright fake video clips always circulate on social media in the minutes after a disaster. Despite this, most people on social media quickly forget the accounts that push fake information, thus continuing the circus the next time something happens.In North Dakota, no cause was reported for the Keystone pipeline incident. However, the impacts will continue to be felt as the pipeline remains shut down (almost three days after the incident) while repairs are underway. This pipeline transports on average 600,000 barrels of crude oil per day, so any downtime whatsoever will probably negatively impact the prices of petroleum products while repairs continue.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Beacon writer reimagines Aesop's If he excelled on the high school certification exams in his native Australia, Matt Eddy planned to become a lawyer. With middling results, he would pursue journalism. A real screw-up might lead to an acting career. Somehow, Eddy worked all three gigs. After a short stint as a reporter, he graduated from law school and flexed his thespian muscles in court as a criminal defense attorney. But he burned out and now helms the U.S. branch of a tech startup whose clients are corporate lawyers. To accommodate the creative bent, he turned to fiction, jazzing up Aesop's Fables. At 7:30 p.m. on Saturday (Nov. 2), he will read from a new collection, Vices & Virtues: Animal Stories for Adults, at the Howland Cultural Center with actor Amy White. The characters in Vices & Virtues include a gambling badger, a raccoon with a drug problem and a dog stuck in a loveless marriage, each of whom confronts moral and existential quandaries. In a YouTube video in which Eddy reads "The Rat & the Squirrel," his hands augment a debonair, deadpan delivery. When mellow mood music kicks in, Eddy pours a three-olive martini without missing a beat. Though 37, his persona, dapper dress and the setting evoke 1930s Art Deco. The online magazine The World's Faire first published "The Badger," which centers on a poker game at an independent living facility. After drinking bootleg grappa, the group discusses ethical lapses. Coyote stole clothes, money and canned goods from a church to allay his family's poverty. Fox, a storeowner who worked with cash, never paid taxes. A contractor, Wolf, huffed, puffed and blew up a building to receive an insurance payment so his wife could be treated for a debilitating illness. The melancholy tale ends with Badger, a widower, lying in bed as a paint chip breaks free from the ceiling and drifts down, "spinning and falling gracefully in its final dance." After "feeling its soft tickle on his cheek," Badger let it "lay alongside him, rejected and alone." In "The Crow," which appears on the website Half and One, the hep cats dig instrumental improvisation and wear zoot suits. Raccoon is a trumpet player addicted to heroin and "living the jazz life," though he gets clean and walks away from the scene. Crow, Raccoon's bass player, is a junior lawyer bored by "the three Fs: filing, fetching and photocopying." Reflections on rehab, a character's "breath smelling like vomit" and a musician who "leaned on the microphone stand like a crutch" add an edge. The author met his wife, Andrea Bombino, in a West Village dive bar. They lived in Australia before moving to Jersey City but disliked the concrete confines. "In Melbourne, we're 20 minutes to the beach, 30 minutes to the mountains and 40 minutes to wine country," Eddy says. "Sometimes it took a half-hour to get through the Holland Tunnel." They knew Beacon from road trips, but during one visit, Bombino discovered Notions & Potions on Main Street and he found Max's on Main, where he watched the Green Bay Packers while their daughter doodled. "We figured, 'We can live here,' " he recalls. They moved in 2023, and on Oct. 6, a son joined the family. Bombino still views Australia as an escape hatch. "The active shooter drill at our 4-year-old's school freaked her out," Eddy says. "But the clock is ticking [on immigration matters], and we're leaning toward Beacon." He discovered a local writers' group, fell in with the LitLit open mic and gravitated into the orbit of old souls under 40. "I've redefined myself, turning to fiction and live readings," he says. "I can't resist the urge, so who knows where it goes?" The Howland Cultural Center is located at 477 Main St. in Beacon. Tickets are $20 ($25 door) or $40 for VIP at dub.sh/matt-eddy-howland. Eddy's readings will be posted on YouTube and Spotify on Nov. 2.

Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers It's February 1944 and we're in the U.S. Fleet Post Office at 80 Varick Street. 80 Varick Street is in the Hudson Square area of Manhattan just north of Canal Street and southeast of the Holland Tunnel to New Jersey. The street itself is named for Richard Varick, an early New York lawmaker, landowner, and mayor from 1789 to 1801. The Fleet Post Office was established on July 1st, 1943. Previously, mail addressed to naval personnel serving overseas was handled by Navy mailmen at the Morgan Annex of the New York General Post Office. When CBS' World News Today signed on Sunday February 20th, 1944 at 2:30PM eastern time, the allied forces had just begun “Big Week,” a six-day strategic bombing campaign against the Third Reich. By the time it ended on February 25th, German cities Rostock and Augsburg had been bombed, as well as several Dutch cities near the German border. The Germans also lost more than three-hundred-fifty aircrafts, and most importantly, more than one-hundred pilots. Lieutenant. A. E. Newton is in charge of this post office, but with forces in the European Theater growing larger by the day, it was already obvious this post-office has reached max capacity. Space was being acquired on Pier 51 of the Hudson River to handle the expected increase of letters and parcels to fighting servicemen. Here's Bill Slocum Jr. at the Fleet Post Office discussing how V-Mail works. In September 1944 the Parcel Post Section was moved to Pier 51. The Fleet Post Office continued until the end of the War. By January 1946, with many troops home, most of its functions had been moved back to the General Post Office. World News Today's sponsor, The Admiral Corporation, was originally known as the Transformer Corporation of America. By 1929 it was the biggest supplier of radio parts in the world. Bankruptcy ensued, but in 1936 owner Ross D. Siragusa purchased the right to change the name to Admiral Corporation America Inc. They began sponsoring World News Today in 1942. For a longer look at the news from this week, tune into Breaking Walls episode 148. Meanwhile, as the weather warmed on April 6th, 1944 the U.S. celebrated “Army Day,” while Al Trace and His Silly Symphonists took to the air over Mutual Broadcasting from the Plantation Room in the Dixie Hotel. The Dixie Hotel opened on West 43rd street between 7th and 8th avenue in 1930. It featured one-thousand rooms and a bus terminal which occupied the entire ground floor. Buses arriving at the terminal would drive onto a turntable, which would then rotate to the proper slip. Two sets of doors, one on either side of the terminal, led from the loading area to the waiting room. The waiting room had a cafe, newsstand, ticket booths, and elevators leading to the hotel's lobby. The hotel was developed by the Uris Buildings Corporation, which announced plans for the site in September 1928. A year after it opened it was foreclosed on. The Bowery Savings Bank ran it until in 1942, when the Dixie became part of the Carter Hotels chain. That year the Dixie Lounge Bar opened on the first floor. Decorated in a Southern Colonial style, it could be accessed from the lobby, the dining room, and directly from the street. The nightclub, along with the adjacent Plantation Room restaurant, fit five-hundred people. The Bus depot became redundant when the Port Authority Bus Terminal opened nearby in 1950. It was closed in 1957. Carter attempted to rehabilitate the hotel several times, even renaming it The Carter Hotel in 1976. They sold it the next year. New Yorkers knew this hotel as one of the worst in the city. It was closed in 2014.

It's NYC in the mid-90s. Everything is awesome until white gang members cause a disaster in the Holland Tunnel. Who will save the survivors trapped inside? Will it be policemen, a group of brave EMT's, or maybe the Ninja Turtles? How about a disgraced EMS Chief who's played by Stallone?  It'll be fine.   

At the end of the 20th century many world governments sought to lower birth rates – e.g. China's One Child Policy – but now in 2024… most major world governments are focussed on bringing fertility rates up. In fact, nearly all of the developed world is facing a declining and aging population. Hence, for the first time in human history a majority of the globe's population now lives under governments with a stated intent to influence childbearing.    So why do so many governments seem obsessed with national fertility rates? Should they be in the business of encouraging more people to have children – and if yes, what kind of incentives do or don't work? Are their coherent international regulations governing adoption and surrogacy and if not, why not? Is the domain of demography another realm of coordination failures and enduring disorder?    To start this week's episode, Jason Pack and Alex Hall Hall discuss the overall demographic state of our planet and why there can be so much traffic at the Holland Tunnel even amidst failing fertility rates. Alex talks about her own IVF journey and the thought process that led to the eventual adoption of her kids and she discusses why governments need holistic approaches to fertility rather than the mere use of cash incentives. Jason rails about the glaring need for global governance to provide universally acknowledged rules concerning adoption, surrogacy, and to deter the use of those pesky chemicals in plastics that reduce men's sperm counts.    To close the show, Alex and Jason take some listener questions. They cover: 1) Could Russia implode when Putin loses in Ukraine? 2) Should Britain finally create a written constitution? 3) Are voices that point out western hypocrisy without proposing solutions actually spreading disorder? And 4) All things considered (meaning holidays, NHS, and public transport) is one better compensated in the UK or US for the same work?    Twitter: @DisorderShow    Subscribe to our Substack: https://natoandtheged.substack.com/     Website: https://natoandtheglobalenduringdisorder.com/     Producer: George McDonagh  Exec Producer: Neil Fearn    Show Notes Links  Listen to Birthrates Are Plummeting Worldwide.

We look at the continued surge of pro-Palestine protests in New York City, starting with a report-back from Monday's shutdown of Lower Manhattan traffic by pro-Palestinian protesters who made national headlines yesterday when they blocked inbound traffic on the Brooklyn, Manhatta,n and Williamsburg Bridges and outbound traffic at the Holland Tunnel. Over the weekend the Ridgewood Tenants Union led a 1,000-person march that highlighted the displacement experienced in both rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods like Ridgewood and by Palestinians at the hands of Israeli settlers. We speak with two organizers from the Ridgewood Tenants Union, Raquel Namuche and Lamisse Beydoon. Lastly, we hear from Indy author Lara-Nour Walton who wrote a cover story about the Little Palestine neighborhood in South Brooklyn.

I don't always live this value, but I hope that when my boys look back at their childhoods they will remember that we taught them to show up for people they love. When we have the opportunity to love someone in action, we do it. Even if it means braving the Holland Tunnel on a Friday night, dealing with two hours of Jersey traffic heading toward New York, driving my eight year old minivan through Manhattan all the way to the East side, letting whoever must honk at me, honk. Parallel parking on 3rd Avenue at 5:45 pm. And no, not for a Broadway show. For a middle school play. I imagine that's the kind of Friday night commute Jesus would have made too. Jesus would have cheered with delight for the drama kids, some of their voices cracking their way through songs, their costumes falling off their bodies, their families hollering in the audience, their teachers so openly adoring them. In our culture of constant fretting and over-scheduling, taking the time to show up for the people we love, or perhaps, the people it feels difficult to love, can seem impossible. Today I want us to spend time imagining two different people in our lives: One, someone who showed up for you at some point when you needed it. Maybe, like me, you remember an adult who cared for you when you were young, whether they were significant during a vital life moment, or were simply a brief presence of kindness. Then, I want you to spend time imagining a person in your life you want to love with your presence. Someone you care about, but have struggled to make time for, or aren't sure how to love well. I'll guide you through it.

Episode: 2328 George Lindenthal's great unbuilt bridge from Manhattan to New Jersey.  Today, an unbuilt bridge.

Goddamn Dirtbags this was a really fun episode. It was my first time meeting Christoph but it felt like we had a little bit of a musical kinship. I can't tell i we've got kind of similar stories or if the pursuit of punk is just really relatable whether you grew up in a small mountain town or practically in the city that never sleeps. Christoph grew up in the shadow of Manhattan just on the other side of the Holland Tunnel in Jersey City. As early as 12 he found himself making his way into New York City looking for “punk” or any sign of its faint and distant heartbeat. While many old-timers from the Glory Days of punk may have considered the movement long dead before Christoph's inquisitive arrival, Christoph forged on. After years of searching and hard work it seems that the very heart of punk has found him. No other than Iggy Pop has personally asked Christoph's group Crazy & The Brains to play Destination Chaos, Iggy's festival in the Dominica Republic this coming winter. Whether he found it or it found him doesn't matter. They've found each other and they'll keep making noise and fucking shit up until they walk off into that far setting sun.

On this week's show we will journey to Hudson Square, sometimes referred to as “The New Hudson Square”, which is directly west of SoHo and a neighborhood that even some die-hard New Yorkers are not very familiar with.My guests will be will be returning Rediscovering New York expert Joyce Gold, Founder of Joyce Gold History Tours; and Richard “Rip” Hayman, co-owner of the famous Ear Inn on Spring Street.Tune in for this fascinating conversation at TalkRadio.nyc or watch the Facebook Livestream by clicking here.Show NotesSegment 1Tonight's show will revolve around Hudson Square which is a place many New Yorkers are not entirely familiar with. Today's guests are Joyce Gold who is the founder of Joyce Gold History Tours. She got her start working on Wall Street and eventually stumbled upon a directory that discussed all of the places she passed everyday. She then started giving tours on the weekend which led to a full time business. She does more private tours than public. One day she was asked to give tours on Hudson Square in order to get people more familiar with it. It is sometimes referred to as the New Hudson Square because of all of the construction that is occurring. Richmond Hill was a hill that was a resident of Hudson Square that is now flattened. Some renowned historic figures like George Washington were also former residents. He used to live at 1 Cherry Street. Washington's home was on top of the hill which was right next to the Charlton-King-Vandam Historic District.Segment 2Joyce is now back to giving tours due to the near end of the pandemic. She says that she will have 11 tours being offered by the end of the month. Hudson Square first became a major contributor to printing in the 1920's. Later, the Holland Tunnel was built which was a big help getting cars into New York. Before this tunnel, there were only a couple alternative routes. There was a big effect that it had on the neighborhood. There was a huge amount of construction going on. In addition, while building the tunnel it was stressed not to overcomplicate the roadways. While it was being built in the 1920's, air regulations had to be followed so that excessive pollution did not take place. Furthermore, Donald Trump has a hotel that is running in Hudson Square. The name was changed to The Dominick once he decided to run for president because many people did not like him. There are also some great entertainment places in the area. One of them is titled SOB or Sound of Brazil that is still open today. This place features music and dancing styles of Brazil and Africa.Segment 3To begin this segment, the second guest is introduced. His name is Captain Richard “Rip” Hayman who is the co-owner of The Ear Inn on Spring Street. He is also a United States Coast Guard mariner and former president of the Hudson Valley Line.He is originally from New Mexico and came to New York as a student. He realized his love for the sea while at a beach in New York. The Ear Inn and the James Brown Building was built right next to the docks of the Hudson River. Also, since it was part of a major shopping district, the sidewalks are very spacious. James Brown was a tobacco merchant. The Ear Inn's name has a history that goes back all the way to prohibition. At first, it was called The Bar Inn but had to be changed. There were rules in place against the adding to the name but none in place that prohibited subtraction. They eventually settled on The Ear Inn, simply altering the letter B.Segment 4Captain Richard Hayman today owns a bar that he says he brought when he was young and stupid. At first, he was renting out one of the rooms. Later one of his female friends bought the bar from the former owner which transitioned it from a place where mostly men went to one that was more welcoming to everyone. During the pandemic, Richard was not able to serve his community the way he was accustomed to. Now that it is near an end, he is able to serve people seated outside at a bigger capacity. The parks that are in the area are a good contributor to his business.

(Credit: Jesse Costa/WBUR) While Boston has more than rebounded from the great recession, many of New England’s smaller cities are still feeling the pain of de-industrialization. But in Massachusetts, some of these former mill towns are plotting a comeback. We take a look at what two so-called Gateway Cities are doing to provide economic opportunity — and we consider how the high cost of rental housing in growing towns can keep some low-income New Englanders from getting a leg up. In the second part of this episode, we continue our series about the biggest issues facing each of the New England states this election season. And finally, we remember an iconic New England restaurant chain as it fades from the region. Gateway to the American Dream Immigrant workers from Ireland and Germany were some of the first laborers in Lawrence, Massachusetts, filling the city’s 19th-century mill buildings with the hum of textile looms. Today, Lawrence has converted these buildings to refurbished work spaces for artists, innovators, and entrepreneurs. Shannon Dooling of WBUR brings us the story of how two Massachusetts towns are working to pull their economies into the 21st century. Angie Jimenez is a graduate of Entrepreneurship for All, a business accelerator program in Lawrence. She’s starting a cooking school in a renovated mill building in the city.

(Credit: Jesse Costa/WBUR) It seems that the closer you are to the boom that's happening in Boston, the better off you are, and the same goes for cities in southwestern Connecticut, in the orbit of New York City. But economic booms bring high housing costs, sometimes far exceeding what lower-wage workers can afford. That's especially problematic in many of New England's coastal communities. And as rent prices rise, assistance for those who can't afford those rents is not keeping pace. We speak with Andrew Flowers, an economics writer at FiveThirtyEight, whose recent article on the subject profiled a family in South Portland, Maine. (Credit: FiveThirtyEight) Happy Fall! Can You Smell the Election? In New Hampshire, a high-profile Senate race is racking up record spending. In Massachusetts, ballot questions like whether to legalize marijuana for recreational use, and whether to lift the state cap on charter schools, loom large. And in Maine, perhaps the biggest question is whether Governor LePage’s latest outbursts will tilt the state legislature’s power balance toward the Democrats. Our panelists are Casey McDermott, digital reporter for New Hampshire Public Radio; Felice Belman, politics editor at the Boston Globe; and Bill Nemitz, columnist for the Portland Press Herald and the Maine Sunday Telegram. (If you missed last week’s conversation on Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Vermont, you can listen here). Bye Bye, HoJo’s! Howard Johnson’s began as a seaside stand on Wollaston Beach in Quincy, Massachusetts, where clams, along with rich ice cream, and hot dogs — called “frankforts” — helped make the place famous. Hojoland.com features photos of “HoJo Ghosts” – buildings that were once Howard Johnson’s and have been converted. This one on Route 34 in Derby, CT is now a Tail Gators bar. (Credit: Hojoland.com) The story goes that Bostonians came to love the place when Eugene O'Neill's “Strange Interlude” was banned in Boston, and theatergoers went south to Quincy to see a performance… with a dinner intermission at the Howard Johnson's across the street. At its height, there were more than 1,000 HoJos locations — with their iconic orange roofs — on highway rest stops, and dotting the neighborhoods of New England, New York, and points beyond. Today, Howard Johnson’s exists as a hotel chain, but there is just one HoJo’s restaurant left, in Lake George, New York. The last location in New England — in Bangor, Maine — closed earlier this month. To pay our respects, we invited Howard Mann, the man behind the website hojoland.com, to discuss the restaurant chain’s rich New England legacy. About NEXT NEXT is produced at WNPR.

everend Billy and the Stop Shopping Choir is a New York City based radical performance community, with 50 performing members and a congregation in the thousands. They are wild anti-consumerist gospel shouters and Earth loving urban activists who have worked with communities on four continents defending community, life and imagination. Over the last 15 years of their "church," they describe the Devils that plague us as Consumerism and Militarism. In this time of the Earth's crisis - they are especially mindful of the extractive imperatives of global capital. Their activist performance and concert stage performance have always worked in parallel. The activism is content for the play. They have won an OBIE Award, the Alpert Award, The Dramalogue Award and The Historic Districts Council's Preservation Award (for leading demonstrations to save Manhattan's Poe House), and half of their singing activists have been jailed, most frequently during Occupy Wall Street. Reverend Billy has been arrested about 70 times. Reverend Billy and the SSC employ multiple strategies, including cash register exorcisms, retail interventions, and cell phone operas. Outdoors, they have performed in Redwood forests, between cars in traffic jams at the entrance to the Holland Tunnel, on the Staten Island Ferry, at Burning Man and Times Square and Coney Island, and on the roof of Carnegie Hall in a snowstorm. The Stop Shopping Choir is a diverse array of economic, ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds and has members from every continent except Antarctica, which they're working on. Among them are scientists, teachers, artists, therapists, welders, cyclists, builders, developers, hairdressers, dog walkers, actors, truck drivers, tech geeks, scholars and executives. The Choir has toured in Europe, Africa, South America and throughout North America. Here we discuss what drives the Reverend's tireless activism, the development of his persona and voice, and what it means to be an earth evangelist.
