In one of the most impactful interviews to date on the subject, host Randy Wilson sits down with Devon Henry and Marland Buckner, the visionary leaders behind the Shockoe Institute—an $11 million cultural and historical venue now under construction near Main Street Station in Richmond, VA. Devon Henry, renowned for leading the removal of over 24 Confederate monuments across the South, and Marland Buckner, a veteran of the U.S. Senate, Microsoft, and national policy circles, share a timely and deeply personal conversation about reclaiming space, reshaping public memory, and building a new future rooted in truth. Together, they unpack: The symbolism of Shockoe Bottom as a former epicenter of the U.S. domestic slave trade How immersive storytelling will help future generations engage with hard history The challenges and responsibilities of leading a project that sits at the intersection of culture, history, equity, and legacy Their personal motivations, community vision, and hopes for how the Shockoe Institute will serve as both a gateway to Richmond's past and a beacon for collective healing This episode isn't just a look at a building project—it's a front-row seat to history in the making.

Plus: Virginia's former state health commissioner is now warning that the U.S. Health and Human Services Department's recent decision to cut federal funding for COVID-related grants makes Virginians more susceptible to future pandemics — and “horrific consequences.”    In the podcast: Virginia is the top state to survive an alien invasion; Sens.

Random Vegas Silver Sevens deals live roulette again. That makes 67 casinos in the Las Vegas market that offer the game. There are 71 with table games. Of the four that don't deal roulette, three are small locals that only have blackjack. The other is Main Street Station. (@John_Mehaffey) Twitpic of the week Whenever we start talking about “locations” for 360 Vegas Vacations, think of this picture from @JustWonOne when we refer to center strip.  From the Horseshoe to Aria.  Just disregard that MGM marquee as it doesn't serve our narrative and as we all know, it's all about the narrative.  Or maybe you don't know that but just go with it.  For the record, we consider South Strip to be Mandalay to Park MGM and north is Cromwell to Palazzo.  We expanded it beyond Mirage thanks to Flight Club Social Darts Experience, as I'm calling it.  All seriousness, this is a great photo of center strip.

Two murders, a mannequin and a crazy plan. In 2017 there was a rash of violent attacks among homeless men near Main Street Station in Las Vegas, Nevada. Those attacks ended in the senseless and brutal murder of two men, Daniel Aldape and David “Dave” Dunn. Captain Walsh of the Las Vegas Metro Police devised a plan that stopped a serial killer in his tracks.  Today's episode was sponsored by Hello Fresh.

Episode Description As a reminder you can watch this show as well at: http://www.YouTube.com/milestomemories Caesars Entertainment followed through with the long rumored change of Bally's Las Vegas to Horseshoe Las Vegas. This brings the iconic Downtown Las Vegas brand back, but what will be changing and what won't as the property transitions throughout 2022. With Bally's Las Vegas turning to Horseshoe, that opens up the opportunity for the Bally's name to come back elsewhere. Unfortunately that means Tropicana is likely going to be heavily renovated or demolished when it's sale to Bally's Corporation completes later this year. Will Trop become the new Bally's? One of the newest properties in Las Vegas has started charging resort fees, but fortunately it is easier now than ever to avoid resort fees thanks to the new MGM Rewards program. We discuss how to achieve that and what you need to know. Make sure to read this article as well to learn some of the tricks - https://milestomemories.com/caesars-diamond-status-match/ In other news we talk about Main Street Station and how it is seemingly struggling right now plus why you want to go there on your next trip to see some of the cool history.

News: At 10am pacific time on Tuesday, Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products held a press conference to give and update on the Disney Parks approach to operating during COVID-19. On the call were VPs of Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, WDW Hotels and Resorts, and Patrick Finnegan, the VP of DCA and Downtown Disney. Closing remarks were given by Josh D’Amaro, the Chairman of the division. 8 out of 10 guests feel the safety measures are just right. Disney plans on providing COVID testing in their communities with details to be announced soon. Josh D’Amaro joined from DCA and expressed how important Disneyland is to the economy in CA and how 80,000 jobs rely on the resort. The biggest line was “We are ready, and more importantly… it is time.” – https://www.laughingplace.com/w/articles/2020/09/22/live-blog-disney-parks-and-resorts-update/ When Disneyland does reopen, mobile ordering is going to be expanded, just as it was in Walt Disney World. And, just like in Disney World, it will be the preferred way for guests to order their food while in the parks. Apple Pay and Disney gift cards will also be allowed in the app and the minimum age for mobile ordering will be lowered to 13 years old, down from the previous 18 years old. There is currently no updated list of locations that will offer mobile ordering. – https://www.ocregister.com/2020/09/22/disneyland-to-expand-restaurant-mobile-ordering-when-theme-parks-reopen/ More progress seen in the parks in preparation for the reopening of Disneyland. Hand sanitizer stations have appeared all over Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure and crowd signage like “Enter Here” have also been spotted. – https://www.micechat.com/270828-disneyland-update-how-soon-is-very-very-soon/ and https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2020/09/22/two-major-new-park-additions-show-were-even-closer-to-disneyland-reopening/ The Thinkwell Group released an estimate that Disneyland could maintain social distancing measures at 50% of pre-COVID attendance capacity. This was calculated using the estimates from the Themed Entertainment Association of 500 to 650 per acre. With the 6 feet of distance, that leaves 140 square feet per person, and 200 square feet for groups of 3, Thinkwell estimates. In the end 25 to 30,000 visitors per day could visit and properly distance. – https://www.ocregister.com/2020/09/17/disneyland-could-allow-for-social-distancing-at-50-capacity-data-shows/ The likelihood of the trams returning when the parks reopen is pretty slim considering that Walt Disney World has been open for months and the trams have not returned there. So, Disneyland has turned it’s tramway into a pedestrian walkway this past week, installing signage, benches, and trash cans along the route from Mickey and Friends, as well as Pixar Pals parking garages. This isn’t the first time that this has been used or pedestrians, being used on heavy attendance days like New Years Eve. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2020/09/16/photos-disneyland-prepares-for-reopening-as-park-reservation-signs-and-a-potential-new-walkway-appear/ In another positive sign of possible reopening coming sooner than later, the floral Mickey in front of the Main Street Station has been refreshed. – https://wdwnt.com/2020/09/photos-mickey-entrance-floral-planter-refreshed-at-disneyland-social-distancing-signage-installed-at-disney-california-adventure/ Last week, the Wonderground Gallery was taken over by Star Wars overnight. Rumors spread online that it was a permanent closure of the popular art gallery in Downtown Disney. The new Star Wars Trading post sells a lot of items that were once only available in Galaxy’s Edge. {someone online? Disney} did say that they are looking for an alternate location for the Wonderground Gallery to return to. – https://www.micechat.com/270828-disneyland-update-how-soon-is-very-very-soon/ Star Wars fans that are collecting the various lightsabers from the Star Wars Universe have the opportunity to choose the next saber to be released.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 51 °F, and, apart from a chance of rain early this morning, today looks sunny and warm. Expect highs in the 70s.Water coolerRichmond Police are reporting that Angela M. Rector, 30, was shot to death this past Saturday evening on the 3200 block of P Street.As of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 2,637 positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealth, and 51 people in Virginia have died as a result of the virus. VDH reports 401 cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 108, Henrico: 194, and Richmond: 99). Of note, the total number of deaths in Virginia dropped from 52 to 51 over the weekend, and I haven’t yet read anything that indicates why. Related: Kate Masters at the Virginia Mercury has a piece about VDH creating a definition for “suspect” COVID-19 cases. I don’t know how this will impact the daily reported numbers, but it’s something to keep an eye on as the Commonwealth still lacks an adequate number of tests.The City has launched RVAStrong.org, a website that looks to connect folks to 1) organizations that are doing good work, and 2) efforts that you can support during This Most Unusual Time. It’s early goings for this website, so I think helping build their dataset would probably be a useful way to spend your time. If you know about folks doing good work addressing local needs, fill out this form so the City can get them added to the website.This would have been helpful to tell you on Friday, but the City has decided to “close the main parking lots that provide access to the James on weekends for the duration of the stay at home order.” This is a most excellent idea, but I’m not sure which lots are impacted. /r/rva says cars got towed from Pony Pasture, and on my solo bike ride yesterday, the Great Shiplock Park lot was open (and packed), while the lot next to the Sugar Pad was closed. I saw more than 30 boats in the river which blew my mind—reminded me of that scene in Jaws when all the locals head out into the ocean and start ramming into each other and throwing dynamite everywhere.Ali Rockett at the Richmond Times-Dispatch has a bleak look at jails around the region as they wait for the coronavirus. I agree with Kim Rolla from the Legal Aid Justice Center, “…choosing to maintain a high jail population in the midst of a pandemic like this is endangering everyone.” However, Rockett says Richmond’s Commonwealth Attorney Colette McEachin disagrees and says folks are safer in jails where there are no known cases of the virus and continual access to medical care. I guess that’s true…until a virus outbreak. Maybe the local jails, Richmond’s specifically which houses over 700 inmates, can implement policies to keep the virus out? I don’t know, but the whole situation makes me nervous.Robins Foundation has partnered with the City to launch a $1 million family crisis fund. From the press release: “Robins Foundation, in partnership with the City of Richmond has launched a Family Crisis Fund. Seeded with matching $500,000 contributions by Robins Foundation and the City of Richmond, funds from this initiative can be disbursed to families as soon as April 7–8th, allowing for immediate financial relief for families and immediate impact on the local economy. This will meet critical needs while families and local communities prepare for the federal stimulus to be activated within the next 60 days.” This new fund is just one way the local philanthropy community has started to respond to the coronavirus crisis. A while back—who knows how long ago in virustime—the Community Foundation announced the Central Virginia COVID-19 Response Fund to help “support community organizations and public agencies that are meeting the needs of individuals and families most affected by the coronavirus pandemic.” You can donate directly to that fund, volunteer your time, or if you’re out there in the coronatrenches, apply for funding.Hey, quick reminder: The EDA will start accepting applications for those no-interest loans today and will consider them in the order in which they were received. Keep your eye on the EDA website this morning if you’re planning to apply.The Virginia Mercury’s Graham Moomaw says that the General Assembly might reconvene later this month, which is great. He also says they may do so outside to protect legislators and staff, which is fascinating. Richmond in the springtime, aside from the choking pollen, is pretty amazing, so I get it, but, with only a couple hundred folks, I’m not sure why they wouldn’t use Main Street Station or the Siegel Center. My best guesses for where this out-of-doors session could take place: Brown’s Island, UR’s football stadium, or Maymont.Here’s a picture of a Bolt scooter on a rock in the middle of the river. Yes, this does, theoretically, make our transportation system less useful, but look at it. Doesn’t it look so peaceful out there? Also, here is someone using a Bolt scooter to hold up a skateboard ramp? Again, transportation blah blah blah, but maybe kind of high five?Sam and I recorded episode 75 of the Sam and Ross Like Things podcast, but really y’all did most of the work. This time around, we asked for folks to send us voice memos of things that they like, and, I have to say, it was really nice to hear people’s voices. Thanks to everyone who sent something in!This morning’s patron longreadThe Coronavirus’s Unique Threat to the SouthSubmitted by Patron Casey. Decades of bad, racist policies have put us in a place where younger Southerners are more likely to have pre-existing health conditions that make the coronavirus even more dangerous.The numbers emerging seem to indicate that more young people in the South are dying from COVID-19. Although the majority of coronavirus-related deaths in Louisiana are still among victims over 70 years old, 43 percent of all reported deaths have been people under 70. In Georgia, people under 70 make up 49 percent of reported deaths. By comparison, people under 70 account for only 20 percent of deaths in Colorado. “Under 70” is a broad category, not really useful for understanding what’s going on. But digging deeper reveals more concerning numbers. In Louisiana, people ages 40 to 59 account for 22 percent of all deaths. The same age range in Georgia accounts for 17 percent of all deaths. By comparison, the same age group accounts for only about 10 percent of all deaths in Colorado, and 6 percent of all deaths in Washington State. These statistics suggest that middle-aged and working-age adults in the two southern states are at much greater risk than their counterparts elsewhere; for some reason, they are more likely to die from COVID-19.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - Join John B. deHaas and I as we take the Grand Circle Tour on the Disneyland Railroad!  One of Disneyland's opening day attractions!  Recorded on December 2, 2018. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. It’s time to take a gran circle tour of Disneyland on the Disneyland Railroad.  Disneyland’s website says, “Embark on a relaxing 18-minute scenic journey aboard an authentic steam-powered train around Disneyland Park.”  There are no age or height restrictions to ride the train and the Thrill Level describes the attraction as being Slow, dark and loud.  Before we climb aboard, here are five fast facts about the Disneyland Railroad. Before we begin our mountain climbing adventure, here are five fast facts about Disneyland’s Matterhorn Bobsleds. 1. The Disneyland Railroad began operation on Disneyland’s opening day on July 17, 1955.  In fact, Walt Disney himself pulled the train into Main Street Station that morning on his way to give the park’s opening dedication. 2.  The Railroad features five restored steam locomotives named C.K. Holliday, E.P. Ripley, Ernest Marsh, Fred Gurley and the Ward Kimball,  The first four are named after American locomotive legends, the fifth, the Ward Kimball, is named after the Disney animator who is credited for inspiring Walt Disney’s love of trains.  The older locomotive, the Fred Gurly, was built in August of 1894. 3. One of the most anticipated parts of the Grand Circle Tour is the journey through the Grand Canyon and Primeval World Dioramas.  The Grand Canyon diorama debuted in 1958 and features an amazing background mural painted by Delmer J. Yoakum that is 306 feet long and 34 feet tall.  The Primeval world diorama opened in 1966 and features audio animatronic dinosaurs that were build for the Ford’s Magic Skyway attraction in the 1964 New York World’s Fair. 4. The Railroad features a special train car, the Lilly Belle, named after Walt Disney’s wife Lillian.  It is the last remaining ‘opening day’ car that is still in service, albeit only occasionally.  Guests can pay to ride in the car as part of the separately ticketed Gran Circle Tour.  Sometimes the first 14 guests in line at Main Street Station when the park opens in the morning will get a chance to ride in it as well. 5. On January 11, 2016, the Disneyland Railroad closed for over a year to accommodate construction of Disneyland newest land, Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge.When the train resumed operation on July 29, 2017, the new line line had the trains making a left turn for the first time in the attraction’s history. Now let’s ride the Disneyland Railroad for a Grand Circle Tour of Disneyland.  Along for the ride is John B. deHaas and after we ride we’ll give you our thoughts on this opening day attraction.  This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones, put them on now as we take a ride on the Disneyland Railroad.
