402. Thomas Ruys Smith discusses Sam Clemens and Mardi Gras. "On March 8 1859, a 23 year old trainee steamboat pilot named Samuel Clemens, a month away from getting his full pilot’s license, arrived in New Orleans after a week’s voyage down the Mississippi from St. Louis. But when the young man who would soon become Mark Twain stepped off the Aleck Scott, looking forward to some rest and recuperation in the South’s premier city, he was unprepared for the spectacle that met his eyes: he had alighted in the middle of Mardi Gras."

Dedication of Pontchartrain Park, January 31, 1955. Pontchartrain Park was developed in the mid-1950s by the Park and Parkways Commission (now the Department of Parks and Parkways) on the lakefront land adjacent to the Industrial Canal. The 190-acre park, initially constructed for use by African Americans, provided a 9-hole golf course (expanded in 1957 to 18 holes), a picnic area, playground and lagoons. Several years later a baseball stadium and tennis courts were added. In 1979, the golf course was was renovated and renamed in honor of Joseph M. Bartholomew, Sr., the course's designer and first golf pro. The playground, stadium and tennis courts are now administered by the New Orleans Recreation Department.

04/08 With outside social distancing so popular on foot or on bicycle, the Mayor predicts a future in which all parkways around the lakes will be closed to the internal combustion engine. The Mysterians who rule us will never let a crisis result in more of there bad ideas. Johnny Heidt with remote newscast.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has made its way to the U.S. and the number of people infected continues to rise, with at least 539 confirmed cases in the U.S. at the time of this recording (at the time this episode was published, numbers had been recalculated to 432 confirmed cases in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). As the gatekeepers of many of our nation’s public gathering spaces, park and recreation professionals are seeking answers to key questions as they prepare strategies around response and prevention in the coming days and weeks — especially in communities that are starting to document confirmed cases. To help answer some of these questions, on today’s episode we’re joined by three park and recreation leaders from across the country who are actively addressing issues related to coronavirus: Jesús Aguirre, Superintendent of Seattle Parks and Recreation and NRPA board member Brian Zimmerman, CEO of Cleveland Metroparks Adriane Clutter, Division Chief Each of the states where these three live and work are experiencing confirmed or potential cases of COVID-19. As of this recording, Washington State had 136 confirmed cases, the D.C., Maryland and Virginia region had nine confirmed cases, and in Ohio, there are four potential cases being investigated (three of those cases have been confirmed at the time of publishing this episode). On this episode, we chat about: The impact of COVID-19 so far in each of their communities How they are handling communications to community members and dealing with misinformation and stigma surrounding this disease How they are collaborating with state and local health officials as well as other nearby park and recreation departments Preparations for the financial implications of COVID-19 Actions their agencies are taking to ensure they have proper staff coverage while keeping staff as safe as possible The importance of creating talking points for staff to ensure everyone is on the same page when communicating with the public Tune in to the episode below to hear our full conversation on how these three leaders are ensuring their communities stay healthy, well-informed and safe. Resources discussed in this episode: Montgomery County, Maryland, Department of Health and Human Services: Information from Dr. Travis Gayles on how to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 Parkways blog post with information about the impacts of COVID-19 on Seattle Parks and Recreation Other helpful resources: CDC’s webpage for the coronavirus outbreak Guidance for schools, which has good information that is adaptable for park and recreation agencies   Personal safety recommendations from the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) resources on coronavirus

PORTLAND, Ore. - It's taken me way too long to post this great video by Clarence Eckerson, Jr. of Streetfilms.org. There so many bikey friends, from Aaron Tarfman and his transportation trike, Linda, Timo, and Coach Dan with the 411, and Jonathan Maus Channeling Gil Peñalosa and so many smiles from young and old. Portland's first Sunday Parkways was a huge success with tens of thousands of Portlanders converging on the North Portland streets, parks and sidewalks. Don't be surprised if this kind of event, originally started in Bogotá, becomes a mainstay all over the world. Here is the write up from Streetsblog: Despite a very dreary and damp first half of the day, Portland's first Ciclovia-style street closure, Sunday Parkways, was a smashing success with countless thousands of city residents participating. It was like a giant community block party with walkers, bikers, joggers, bladers, families, and pets filling the 6 mile course. There were plenty of fun activities in four northeast parks that were linked by the circuit, which was opened to bikes and pedestrian traffic only from 8 AM to 2 PM. For cities planning their own Ciclovias, here are some things I liked about Portland's event: knowledgeable volunteers, lots of fun chalk messages on the ground, easy to follow directions, lots of music & entertainment, and a huge number of bike stations for bike repair. If you want more Sunday Parkways be sure to let people know.
