Podcast appearances and mentions of Jefferson Hotel

Jyl & Kathy are back after a quick break because...life.This month, we explore our feral childhoods and why today's generations could benefit from a more free-range approach while being raised. Signs of a Feral Childhood? Well, for one, you were probably born in the 70's.We left the house after breakfast and didn't return home until someone's mom rang a bell (or the streetlights went on).We rode our bikes to the corner store, but we didn't always clarify which corner.We walked a mile to the local pool with a dollar in change for lunch from the vending machine, which was located further down the street.We had no need for bus notes. We just got on a different bus if we decided to go somewhere else after school. Later, we'd ring our mothers to let them know where we were. Our main source of hydration was the water hose.Our parents had no way to contact us once we were out of their sight. We typically had to be out of their sight within ten minutes of finishing breakfast.Televisions broadcast a message at 10:00 pm asking, “Do you know where your kids are?” Latchkey kids wasn't a term; it was just how we lived.We were free-range children, and we are better because of it. Why? We can solve any problem at any time. We rarely have to ask for seventeen different opinions in order to make a decision. We left the nest with confidence and zero thoughts of returning. We had more life skills before grade school than today's baby adults have coming out of collegeWe can get blood out of anything.  Our Nonsor this week was Carpool Karaoke. We also talked about Jyl's amazing Ninja Thirst, our Holland America Cruise Tour, the Jefferson Hotel, and more. Spotify:Can't get enough of us?

Which room would you stay in? The Jefferson Hotel has a variety of rooms, each decorated with unusual decor. Listen this week to decide which room is the most unsettling.    About Us – Historic Jefferson Hotel The Historic Jefferson Hotel: The World's Most Haunted Hotel (?)

I know no body expects the Spanish Inquisition, but did anyone expect the Gran Canyon to be haunted?? Also, its always important to know which Jefferson Hotel to do research on.

Riding the wave of popularity of national teen dance shows of the 1950's, St. Louis Hop, hosted by Russ Carter would debut in 1958. More than 47,000 teen dancers would appear on the show regardless of their dance skills, and, it ignored color lines.  Just press play to hear the whole story. ——— Click on search links to see if there are episodes with related content: Andrew Wanko, Arts, Entertainment, and Culture, Television, Civil Rights, Music, Pastimes and Leisure, ——— Podcast Transcript: I'm Andrew Wanko, Public Historian of the Missouri Historical Society, and here's history, on 88.1 KDHX. ——— In the 1950s, television would reshape the nation's relationship with popular music. Shows like American Bandstand brought your favorite singers into your living room, and let you see the latest dances, clothing fashions, and attitudes that went along with their songs. Plenty of St. Louis teenagers were among American Bandstand's 20 million weekly viewers, but many St. Louisans were probably much more excited about a different program. It was almost the exact same set up, but featured their friends and neighbors. ——— The teen dance show “St. Louis Hop” hit local television in January of 1958. The premise was simple – St. Louis teenagers danced around to the latest records, with popular recording stars dropping in for interviews and live performances.  ——— Replicating American Bandstand host Dick Clark's youthful spunk was St. Louis Hop's show host Russ Carter. He ran almost every aspect of the show's production, down to writing his own cue cards. Carter hosted countless celebrity guests on St. Louis Hop, including the Smothers Brothers, Tony Bennett, Chubby Checker, Bobby Darin, and even John Denver. ——— Across its 15-year on-air run, more than 47,000 St. Louis teenagers appeared as dancers on St. Louis Hop. Teens wrote in requesting to be picked, sometimes more than a year in advance. Your dancing skills didn't matter, so long as you adhered to the show's coat-and-tie dress code. Another thing that didn't matter was your race – St. Louis Hop was among the very first integrated shows on St. Louis television, and its producers insisted that the dancers reflect the city around them. ——— The constantly-growing show went through four location changes, filming at the Arena Roller Rink, Casa Loma Ballroom, Jefferson Hotel, and finally the KSD television studios. By the late 1960s, fads were changing and teen dance shows were losing their audiences to other entertainment. St. Louis Hop held on until 1973, when Pepsi pulled out as the show's main advertiser, and the show was forced off the air. ——— Here's History is a joint production of the Missouri Historical Society and KDHX. I'm Andrew Wanko, and this is 88.1 KDHX, St. Louis. ———

Mak covers the extremely haunted Jefferson Hotel, which is located in the extremely haunted town of Jefferson Texas, down the street from two more incredibly haunted (but different) hotels. Emily covers a piece of homegrown, Louisiana lore with the Axe Man of New Orleans. The man famously becomes an urban legend after his brutal escapades for forcing the city to play Jazz music to keep him at bay.

Texas is a great tourist destination. The Jefferson Hotel and The Baker Hotel may be a perfect fit for those wanting to visit haunted destinations. The Baker Hotel is under renovation and estimated to open at the end of 2022, which may be a long wait. However, the Jefferson Hotel is in operation and a beautiful place to stay if you enjoy hauntings and spirits. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

And coming back for their hotels has meant a literal hockey stick if you were to graph out rate and occupancy performance since Spring Break. They're setting records and looking to close out 2021 as one of their best ever. But in operations, high rates and occupancy have to be supported by engaged staff, a full suite of amenities and services, and the ability to get the flywheel turning again. Ken shares how they have been dealing with these challenges and some of the thinking that is going on behind the scenes with respect to balancing “getting back to normal” and what the new normal will actually look like. As an industry we're all in the same body of water, just in different boats. We're all dealing with similar challenges and my hope is that in this conversation you'll find commonality, camaraderie and perhaps some ideas on where you can take your own property. About Ken Ken Merkel is the Senior Vice President of Operations at Avocet Hospitality Group. Since joining the team in January 2009, Merkel has overseen all aspects of operations for Avocet Hospitality Group including employee training and overall guest experience.

And now it plays host to a variety of ghosts. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Jefferson Hotel! The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Victoria Howard and features the Erfurt Latrine Disaster and This Month in History features the birth of Cole Porter.

I Want to Believe the Podcast – S4 Episode 11 | Wanda Saw A Ghost Music at the top of the episode: I Saw a Ghost by Easy Kids Songs Music at close: Ray of Light by Madonna Welcome to the I Want to Believe podcast! Wanda Sykes is typically known as a writer, actor, and comedian… but one night in 2015… wasn’t so funny. A quick reminder that ALL of our I Want to Believe social media & email are in the show notes.

For most people, haunted houses, ghost tours, and haunted hayrides are a once-a-year event when the brave-at-heart creep through such sites on All Hallows' Eve. A bit of a good scared saved for moonlit nights in October, and in the back of your mind, all is well and fun because those ghosts and goblins are a sheet or a rubber mask. For the staff at the Jefferson Hotel, encounters with the paranormal are not regulated just to the month of October… they are a weekly occurrence. Listen to the episode for the rest of the story.

In this episode of How We Got Here – the history of one of Richmond’s most glamorous and ritzy places to stay, the Jefferson Hotel. And, what you didn’t learn about Bacon’s rebellion in high school history class. We’ll take you inside a catastrophic disaster at NASA’s Wallops Island facility as a rocket headed for the International Space Station explodes just seconds after liftoff. Finally, the day British General Charles Cornwallis is suddenly paroled and allowed to sail back to Britain after his surrender at Yorktown.

Kelli's in Jackson Ward to visit the area where Bill "Bojangles" Robinson grew up, check out The Jefferson Hotel where he was discovered, and visit his monument in Jackson Ward celebrating his life.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 70 °F, and today will be hot. Expect highs in the mid 90s and Feels Like temperatures even higher. If you’ve got to go outside for some reason, wear a hat and remember to hydrate! Expect similar hot—and mostly rain-free—weather over the holiday weekend.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 532↗️ new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealth and 30↗️ new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 51↘️ new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 25, Henrico: 12, and Richmond: 14). Since this pandemic began, 235 people have died in the Richmond region. So you can see everything in on place, I put together the graphs of new reported positive cases, new deaths, and new hospitalizations plus their seven-day averages here. New positive cases have stuck right around 500 for the past couple weeks, while deaths have increased, and hospitalizations have bounced around a bit. According to VDH the Commonwealth’s percent posititivity is on the rise since about a week ago, but they just reported a ton of tests (increasing the denominator) a couple days back so that could change. When taken together…I’m not sure what to make of all that. Virginia is certainly not in the same dire straights as our Southern neighbors: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida all reported more than 1,500 new coronavirus cases yesterday. In fact, Florida became the first state to report over 10,000 new cases in a single day since New York back on April 15th. I don’t know what keeps Virginia from slipping off of its 500-cases-per-day plateau, but, like, keep doing whatever it is we’re doing! If you’re hanging out this weekend, please, please keep your distance and your masks on.The Mayor’s march down Monument Avenue continues, and yesterday saw the removal of the Maury statue (his globe still remains) and two Confederate memorial cannons from the median of Monument that I’d totally forgot existed. It requires, admittedly, an immense amount of privilege and a massive lack of curiosity to live in a place and just plain forget about its monuments to white supremacy. I had a chance to ride past the now-empty Jackson plinth, and the statue’s absence is striking (see above). The statue took up a building-sized spot in the intersection and now that it’s gone, the space feels open and airy. Getting rid of that plinth—even though it looks pretty rad and definitely serves as an arresting reminder for what we allowed to stand for 100 years—should be at the top of the City’s list. After we work our way through he State’s dumb and required monument process, the Department of Public Works should redesign that intersection to make it way safer for folks trying to walk, roll, or ride on through.As for protests, VPM’s Coleman Jenningsand the Commonwealth Time’s Eduardo Acevedo tagged along with a Marcus-David Peters march and vigil. About 100 people marched from the Jefferson Hotel, where Peters worked part time, to Chamberlayne’s I-95 on-ramp, where Peters was killed by a Richmond police officer. Bike marshals blocked vehicles from getting on the highway, the Virginia State Police showed up, the two groups talked, and then…both eventually dispersed. In fact, police blocked further traffic from heading towards protestors, and protestors packed up and left after a bit. I don’t know what the two groups talked about or agreed upon, but I hope that last night marks a permanent shift in the way the Virginia State Police choose to respond to our ongoing protests against police violence. It was a small moment, but it feels like progress.Related, or conversely, Whittney Evans, also at VPM, dives into some of the history of complaints, lawsuits, and possible legal chicanery at the Richmond Police Department. That’s a lot of not great stuff in the not-so-distant past of the department, and we’ll have to wait and see how the new chief takes the increased scrutiny and demands to, quite literally, strip his budget.The Virginia Employment Commission’s new unemployment insurance claims numbers are out, and, for the week ending June 27th, 398,669 people filed for unemployment insurance. This is down just 2,203 from the previous week, and, I think, this is the first time in a few months that the number of initial claims has gone up (31,955 compared to 25,293). I have no idea if this is a season trend, a blip in the data, or what. Also, check out this PDF of demographic data for unemployment insurance claims. Since April, Black folks have made up a increasingly larger and large percentage of claims.It’s been a while, but you should check out RPS Superintendent Kamras’s newsletter from yesterday, because he’s got pictures from inside the new River City Middle School that’s being built on the Southside.

Emily Oster, who just wrote this piece in the Atlantic that I haven’t read yet, has a good newsletter that’s definitely worth a subscription.With all this as background, I have been thinking a lot about the practical. I’ve been doing this with my parenting person hat on, but also as part of my real job. Universities need to reopen, too, and I sit on one of the committees thinking about this at Brown. So I’m steeped in it, at least enough to organize some of my thoughts. Let’s start by assuming we all have two main goals. Goal #1: protecting safety of kids and staff (teachers, sure, but also cafeteria workers, janitorial staff, coaches and everyone else) and the broader public. Goal #2: if at all possible having kids in classrooms in some way more or less full time. The question then, is: What’s it going to take to do that? I have some thoughts, starting with the big picture and moving to the details.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

Chauncey Jenkins is the son of a Richmond chef. Growing up in his father's kitchens (and sustained by his grandmother's Mac & Cheese), Jenkins could not resist the sirens' song that is the food and service industry. To help achieve his dream of owning his own hotel, the Richmond Community High School graduate studied at the famed School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University in upstate New York. Jenkins eventually found his way back to his hometown where he started to work at The Jefferson Hotel. Today Jenkins is the general manager of Lemaire Restaurant, the AAA Four Diamond restaurant inside The Jefferson Hotel. In this week's episode of Eat It, Virginia! Jenkins talks about his service style, the advice he gives hotel guests visiting Richmond, and how he is working to make one of Virginia's finest restaurants more accessible to the community it serves. He also discusses his alter ego, the rapper Mr. Chance Fischer.

Each room at the Jefferson Hotel in Texas is haunted by a different ghost. Room 19, in particular, is said to be haunted by the ghost of a young bride from 1870. The groom never showed up to their wedding so she hung herself from the bed. That same bed remains in the room today, where visitors can still hear her cries.

If I described a leader as a failed business man - multiple times, someone who struggled with alcohol, a military man who couldn't stand the uniforms, and a novice politician, you'd probably think I was describing a failed leader who quickly fell off the pages of history.  However, this description fits one of the most influential men in US history in the 19th century! With many accomplishments and a victory in the Civil War, we could only be talking about Ulysses S. Grant!  Learn some little known facts about him on Today in Key West History. It was today, Jan. 21, 1880 that Ulysses S. Grant and rode into town and was the guest of honor at the Jefferson Hotel on Duval St. And that's what happened today in Key West history.

Jerry and Tracy discuss 2 haunted hotels from Jefferson, TX.

It was a stinky assignment, but one reporter had to cover it.

WHCInsider co-founder Tammy Haddad spoke with Barbara Pierce Bush and Jenna Hager Bush about their new book "Sisters First" at a release party hosted by Connie Milstein, Dr. Mark Dybul and Anita McBride at The Jefferson Hotel. While they admitted they know, the twins remained mum about the joke their father, President George W. Bush whispered to President Barack Obama at the Hurricane relief event held in Houston, TX earlier this month. Sounds like they also put family first! #SistersFirst

Chocolate Work. With Peanut Butter and Community. Meet Tim Gearhart of Gearhart's Fine Chocolates, otherwise known as the Willie Wonka of Charlottesville! The theme of this episode is Ahead of the Curve and how that can help your business tremendously. In Tim's case, his Nostradamus ability to foresee trends paired with his passion have helped Gearhart's to not only become a beloved Charlottesville institution but has expanded his reach to the national level. You can now find Gearhart's on Amazon! I first met Tim during the 2016 Tom Tom Festival where he was part of a local panel discussing the triumphs and challenges of running a food business. I was completely captivated by his story as well as his advice and knew I had to have him on the podcast. Tim was born in Detroit and landed in Virginia as a teenager. The 1980's was a volatile time, perfect for an oddball kid like Tim who was way into food before it was a trend, and who spent his spare time eating at the C&O and trying new foods whenever he could. His first job was as a dishwasher at Duner's where he eventually worked his way up to busboy. After some time in the Marines, he attended the Culinary Institute of America and traveled, creating pastries in various kitchens around the world, including one in a 1,000-year old castle as well as right here at Keswick. "Another cool thing about the Charlottesville food scene is that a lot of these folks are still here...They're doing what they love...that's what it's about...finding that passion...whether you're a super-creative architect or a chef at a famous restaurant, that's what it's about." The passion for pastry switched over to chocolate because of a "perfect storm" as he describes it, one that affected him nationally, professionally, and personally. At the time he'd just opened Hamilton's with Bill Hamilton. When he mused one afternoon about how fun it would be to open a chocolate shop, Bill replied, "I'm in!" The rest is history. Gearhart's Fine Chocolates just celebrated 16 years in business and their new, expanded location with coffee and PASTRY opened last year. There's even a window where you can watch Charlottesville's own Oompa Loompa's hard at work creating culinary confections. "Chocolate was the next thing up after wine in the 80's and beer in the 90's...coffee in the 90's...kind of this time of people saying wow, there might be a local option...this doesn't have to have wax in it...it can made to be eaten right now...it can have fresh herbs...it was the right place, right time...timing in the world of business is a huge thing." Gearhart's uses eight different varieties of chocolate, never purchasing a disc from a company he doesn't know or trust. The Fair Trade designation? A little foggy, similar to the organic label. Often questionable, not always reliable. A better way is to look locally for items like peaches or honey. Do a lot of homework. Ask a lot of questions. Tim's palate and eye for creation is extraordinary. He's got an uncanny skill of figuring out what flavors go with what. If you've had his Malted Caramels, meant to be eaten with beer, or his Earl Grey Tea chocolates, or his Miso Caramels, you know exactly what I mean. And it's not just about chocolate! Tim is a strong advocate for community initiatives and fundraising for folks who need it. When I announced The Big Love Bakesale fundraising initiative, Tim was one of the first ones to step forward and donate an 8-person chocolate tour. His Peanut Butter Pups raise money for veterans with PTSD. The story behind how these whimsical chocolates were created is so heartwarming and another great example of how local businesses in Charlottesville include social entrepreneurship as part of their mission. Tim is a Gulf War veteran himself. How does his military background as a Marine benefit and inform his chosen career? Attention to detail, consistency. You have to be a little OCD to be a chocolatier and being a Marine helped with that aspect of it. "It absolutely set the foundation and was a humongous part of the puzzle for me...I was the only one in my group who signed up to be a cook...30 years ago it was making soups from scratch, gravies from scratch, it was real cooking." Why is brainstorming one of the most fun things you can do as an entrepreneur? Especially in the world of chocolate, where you have to perform within extremely strict parameters? We talk about how Tim does this. You have to be agile in business, examining every angle in order to stay in business and be successful. Maybe doing things you never thought you would like corporate work, wholesale and online selling, weddings. Another good example? Birthday parties! Gearhart's has become a go-to space for these events, even though the decibel level goes through the roof when a group of 8-year-old girls comes in to celebrate. But it's fun and Gearhart's has wholeheartedly embraced this new role of community celebration space. "I think we are absolutely making the best product we have ever made. Right now. It's the most consistent, and that's so much about the people." Gearhart's employees 20 people, many of whom have been with him for years. A real testament to his abilities as a both a business owner and a teacher. As he says there are many different paths to success, and spending $60K on culinary school is just one of them. Sometimes just taking a job and working your way from the ground up can be a better, more meaningful method. "I never ever would have imagined that I would be even where I'm at today...now I'm just like this is great but where's the next level for myself and for my shop and for my employees?" One thing? Honeycomb chocolates for every single pillow in the Jefferson Hotel. A project that takes creativity and focus to make sure each chocolate stays fresh and tastes great. Plus, launching this week just in time for Father's Day - Virginia Craft Beer Chocolate! Tim partnered with Champion, Hardywood, Devil's Backbone, and Port City breweries to create artisanal chocolate treats that include your favorite brews. If it's anything like his wine chocolates these will sell out fast. What chocolatiers does he admire? What others do are just poseurs? Why is slow growth best and what happens when you suddenly find yourself on The Today Show? What's his busiest season? Hint, it's NOT Valentine's Day! We talk about that new generation of chefs coming up and how Food Network keeps perpetuating that myth of an easy ride. We even talk hockey. A terrific episode and a big reason why Gearhart's is not just my favorite chocolate shop, but my new favorite coffee shop.

Yesterday, Ryan Evans sat down with Sean Kay over a couple beers at the Jefferson Hotel's wonderful Quill Bar to discuss America's foreign policy trajectory and Sean's new book, America's Search for Security: The Triumph of Idealism and the Return of Realism.  This wide-ranging conversation covered every topic a foreign policy wonk could dream of: Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, the Cold War, NATO, Russia, President Obama, Ukraine, the Asia Pivot, the Middle East, and more. Sean has insightful points to offer on all of these topics and more based on his perspective as a scholar of foreign relations and still recovering government adviser.   Image: White House

Last night, some of  Washington's finest national security minds met me at the cabinet room in the Jefferson Hotel bar to talk shop.  Elbridge Colby, William Rosenau, and Afshon Ostovar - all of the Center for Naval Analyses - were joined by surprise guests ("surprise" because they didn't know they were meeting me for a podcast) Brian Fishman of the New America Foundation and Bill Braniff, the executive director of the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START). We talked about President Obama's and President Rouhani's speeches at the United Nations, whether or not Rouhani's election means there is a real opening on the Iranian nuclear program, the Syrian civil war, why the attack in Nairobi has gotten so much more press than the church attack in Pakistan, and what the Elizabeth O'Bagy PhD scandal says about the think tank sector's ability to "self-police."

Last night, Eli Lake of the Daily Beast and Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, a WOTR contributor, joined Senior Editor Mark Stout and me at the Jefferson Hotel, where we discussed some of the more pressing issues in foreign and security policy over drinks in one of their luxurious Cabinet Rooms: The impending attack on Syria and what this says about President Obama's foreign policy. Is there an Obama doctrine? Does the government keep too many secrets? Why? Since we had a journalist and a former CIA analyst at the table, this was a fun one. Good times were had by all. Have a listen.

This is Part Two of my session with Lieutenant Colonel Brian A. Payne and David Kasten of the U.S. Army Irregular Warfare Center (AIWC) at the Jefferson Hotel bar here in Washington, DC.   Did you listen to Part One?  If not, you missed out on bands in Haiti, coffee in Bosnia, training for human based skills, and lessons learned in war and over BBQ. In Part Two, Brian, David, and I talk 9/11 and everything (war) that came after.  Tune in for your counter-insurgency fix. Does COIN have a future in the Army? Tune in. Nothing Brian and David say here represents the opinions of the AIWC, the U.S. Army, the Department of Defense or anyone else.       Photo Credit: Cameron Russel

I recently sat down with Lieutenant Colonel Brian A. Payne and David Kasten of the U.S. Army Irregular Warfare Center (AIWC) at the Jefferson Hotel bar here in Washington, DC.  This is part one of that conversation.  Brian is the Director of AWIC and David is its Chief of Interagency Coordination. Our guests show that irregular warfare was a dominant feature of American wars long before 9/11. It was a really fascinating conversation full of thoughtful analysis and war stories - over drinks of course. We hear everything from Brian's tactical response to a village band in Haiti to David not joining the French Foreign Legion and becoming a sniper instead. Listen! Needless to say, none of the views expressed by Brian and David represent the opinions of the U.S. Army, Department of Defense, or any part of the U.S. government.

The other day, I sat down with War on the Rocks contributors Bill Rosenau, Will McCants, and Afshon Ostovar - all of the Strategic Studies Center at the Center for Naval Analyses - for a conversation that ranged widely from Syria to Snowden to the think tank industry. We were hosted by the Jefferson Hotel in Washington, DC. Listen here:
