Deep Reading Lists for each episode are available at phoebe.substack.com - This episode is a conversation with Missy Flynn, co-owner and founder of beloved London restaurant, Rita's. I've been eating at Rita's since it was a pop-up in a rowdy Dalston nightclub and have dined all its iterations since – mostly recently, at its current home on Soho's charming Lexington Street. As fellow born-and-raised Londoners, the conversation between Missy and I inevitably turned to the city - our thoughts on its past and present, and our hopes for its future. We also spoke about what social media is doing to dining and food culture, the joys of eating out in New York, and the books Missy turns to when she's craving food for thought, excuse the pun. I hope you enjoy the conversation. - @phoebelovatt @phoebelovattpubliclibrary @missyyflynn
It's Thursday, and time for theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck's weekly review of a regional stage production. This week, she joins Tom to talk about the latest offering from Baltimore Rock Opera Society, a kid-friendly musical production called Welcome to Shakesville.Conceived by Sarah Gorman and directed for the BROS by Lucia A. Treasure, Welcome to Shakesville tells a story of a gifted young African American artist named Betty and her journey toward artistic self-awareness. As the BROS program puts it, it's a ----hip and trippy---- journey that's told, and sung, using the pop-culture imagery, puppetry, fantasy and multi-genre music that energized such iconic 60s and 70's TV shows and movies as H.R. Pufnstuf, The Muppet Show, and Yellow Submarine. The BROS production features lead performances by Jacquan Knox as Betty and Matthew Casella as Jimmy, with music from a 10-man band called The Far Outs.The Baltimore Rock Opera Society's production of Welcome to Shakesville continues at Zion Church of the City of Baltimore (Zion Lutheran), located at 400 Lexington Street, through Sunday, June 16.

A couple of years ago, the mayor of Baltimore announced plans to tear the market down and build, on the parking lot to its south, a big glassy structure to replace it. That plan provoked groans -- not only at the design, but at its estimated $60 million price tag. Earlier this month, officials working on Lexington Market’s renovation came up with a new plan, not as expensive and one, they say, that can be put in place faster. The city chose Seawall Development, the firm behind the R. House food hall and other projects in Remington, to construct a new market for the vendors on the south lot, as before, but not the big glass box. The new plan calls for opening the Lexington Street arcade, built in the 1980s, into a grand pedestrian mall between Paca and Eutaw Streets. The plan would retain the market’s east building, where most of the vendors are now, and offer the west building, across Paca Street, for a separate redevelopment project. In this episode, Dan goes to Lexington Market to speak with two key players: Robert Thomas, executive director of the city's public markets, and Kirby Fowler, president of the Downtown Partnership of Baltimore.Further reading: Klaus Philipsen's Community Architect Daily essay on Lexington Market and Dan Rodricks' August 21 column, ----Shop at Lexington Market, or the rat wins.----
