We continue on with the Siege of Petersburg as well as the Atlanta Campaign. But first, we have a 1v1 ship battle just off the coast of Cherbourg, France. On June 19th, the USS Kearsarge followed the CSS Alabama to a French port. When it was clear that the Kearsarge wasn't leaving, the Alabama was escorted out of French waters where the battle between the two ships would commence.  Next up is the battle of Jerusalem Plank Road on June 21st-22nd in Petersburg Virginia. The Union's aim was to extend their siege lines to the west and cut the rail lines that supplied Petersburg.  We end the episode with the battle of Kolb's Farm of the Atlanta Campaign on June 22nd. Confederate Lt. Gen. John Bell Hood believed he had an opportunity to defeat the Union forces in front of him but the Union had other plans.  Subscribe to our YouTube! youtube.com/@bangdangnetwork  Join our Discord to chat about this episode or anything else! https://discord.gg/KZZ3mM6zNt

The earth shifted for me when I heard Uncle Dave Macon for the first time. This was when the Harry Smith Anthology was released on CD in 1997. The energy of this man, swingin' his claw hammer banjo and elating me with his infectious humor, brought the sepia-toned 19th century to boisterous life, and I was smitten. I began listening to, and reading, as much as I could get my hands on, and although the “Dixie Dewdrop” died the year before I was born, he was kinetically alive for me, lifting me out of whatever funk I happened to have been in, into a realm of pure joy. What an inspiration for an aging aspirant: He was discovered by accident by Marcus Loew of the Loews Theatre chain at the age of 50, and elevated to the heights of radio stardom on the Grand Old Opry, and national recording acclaim. How fortunate that these technologies, though in their infancy, were around to document the power of this entertainment fireball.He was a beloved amateur (in the truest sense of the word), who had simply enjoyed entertaining customers along his freight hauling mule line. This exemplifies Joseph Campbell's  assertion that if you just follow your bliss, everything will flow from that. This was simply how he lived, and as one of his band members attested: “all day long, from morning til midnight, it was a show.” And, what a show it was!

I got you babe, as in this is Groundhog Day, and I'm Sean Tubbs here with another edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement and whether or not Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, this is another program about the mundane and routine that when added up becomes whatever happens with local government. This edition of the program is dedicated to the late Ken Boyd, an Albemarle County Supervisor who routinely invoked the 1993 comedy directed by Harold Ramis to convey the sense that all of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again. Now, on with the latest bits of information. On today's show:* A UVA working group looking for ways to prevent gun violence has issued its initial report * The Metropolitan Planning Organization's Policy Board gets an update on studies for future transportation projects around Old Ivy Road and Barracks Road* The University of Virginia is moving forward with a study of what to do with the Oak Lawn property* The Virginia Department of Transportation seeks comment on banning trucks from using Plank Road to get from U.S. 29 to Afton Mountain. * Charlottesville awards Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative funds to a project to model the Moores Creek and Meadowcreek watersheds  This is a public episode.

The Bros are sampling perhaps the worst beer of bad beer month, which is Icehouse by Plank Road. There's not much history to be explored with this brewery, so we instead take a look at the history of iced beers and the controversy of who has the first! Paired with this disgusting brew is Julia A. Moore's poem "Grand Rapids" which stuns the Bros with the sheer amount of repetition contained within. The life of Moore is enough to make up for this terrible poem, however, as we see another poet who just didn't realize their writing was bad until it was far too late. Join use as we deconstruct these two terrible products, what makes them bad, and all the side tracks we can do down along the way.Cheers!

On Saturday, a new record of 3,173 cases were reported. On Sunday that number was 2,325 and this morning the VDH reported 1,893 new cases. These numbers are based on fewer tests being performed last week, perhaps due to the holiday. The VDH processed 165,268 tests between last Monday and yesterday. The week before the health department processed 222,926 tests. The seven-day average for positive PCR tests is at 7.5 percent today. A month ago on Halloween that figure was 5.6 percent. In the Blue Ridge Health District, there are another 14 cases reported today, and the seven-day average is 33. For the month of November, there have been 834 cases. That compares to 954 in October, 1,081 in September and 769 in August. There have been 82 fatalities in the Blue Health Rigde District since the pandemic began. Looking around the area, the city of Staunton reports 206 cases today, five times higher than their previous high count of 44 cases from Thanksgiving day. For comparison, Waynesboro reported four cases and Augusta County reported eleven cases. Source: Virginia Department of Health*A 31-year-old Charlottesville woman is dead after being shot early Saturday morning in the 700 block of McIntire Road. Tanya Renee Wheeler is the third person to be murdered in Charlottesville this month. DreShawn McDonald was killed in the 900 block of South First Street on November 5, and a suspect in his murder was taken into custody yesterday in Pennsylvania. On November 14, Teiwan Benstom was murdered in the 700 block of Orangedale Avenue. A suspect was arrested in that case as well. Police are continuing to investigate Wheeler’s murder. *The opening of the Blue Ridge Tunnel connecting Afton and Waynesboro has been welcomed by many who are looking for a new outdoor destination. However, residents of the Nelson County side have reported traffic issues at the parking lot off of Route 6 as more people find out about the mile-long pathway through the middle of a mountain. “The access road to get to the tunnel's parking lot is only wide enough for one car at a time to get in or out, and the visitors coming here have narrowed the road even further by parking on either side of it,” wrote Victoria Dunham over the weekend in a Facebook post warning people of the large crowds. Dunham said she supports the tunnel, but asked the head of the private foundation if there had been a traffic study and a plan to handle large crowds. The eastern entrance is recommended for “those seeking a less strenuous experience.” I’ve reached out for comment from the Nelson County Parks and Recreation Department. An email sent to the Blue Ridge Tunnel Foundation refers to the Nelson website for rules and directions. One nearby resident has set up a Facebook group called Stewards of the Blue Ridge Tunnel to help pick up trash at the new facility, which has no other amenities. The organizer said she picked up five and a half pounds of trash on the trail yesterday morning. Credit: Victoria Dunham*The owners of a historic property on Plank Road near Batesville are seeking a special use permit to hold events, but under a different section of the zoning code than the one for wineries, cideries and breweries. “The Special Events ordinance was developed expressly for hosting events at historic properties for the public to share the enjoyment of the County's historic resources and rural viewsheds,” reads the narrative of the application from Hilmasco Operations, LLC. This requires a community meeting which will be held at 5:30 p.m. Several neighbors have already expressed opposition to the project, citing noise and traffic concerns. (meeting info)The property was originally listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 as Wavertree Hill Farm, but has since been renamed to Bellevue. Under the proposal, weddings and other activities would take place in an existing indoor riding ring which will be remodeled.“This structure is not a contributing historic structure, was built in the 1970' s, and is visually inconsistent with the other structures on the Property,” reads the narrative. “Though the Applicant would prefer to raze this structure and to construct a more attractive building in the same location, Section 5. 1. 43( d)( 1) requires each structure used for a special event to have been in existence on the date of the adoption of the section.”The Virginia Outdoors Foundation holds a conservation easement on the property which will not allow new commercial buildings to be constructed. Under the proposal, outdoor amplified music would end at ten p.m. and all events would be over by midnight. The applicant has requested a special exception that four events each year be allowed to have up to 350 guests. The others would be restricted to 150 or fewer. In other meetings today, the Crozet Community Advisory Committee meets at seven p.m. tonight. Support my research by making a donation through PatreonSign for a subscription to Charlottesville Community Engagement, free or paidPay me through Venmo This is a public episode.

It's a well worn cliché around here that Baton Rouge is a tale of two cities – with both the highest income levels and outcomes in the state and the lowest. Which of the two cities you're in depends on whether you're north or south of Florida Boulevard. There are a lot of reasons for this. On this edition of Out to Lunch, Stephanie and her guests focus specifically on real estate investment – and dis-investmet and reinvestment – to better understand how and where developers are investing in this community, and what's going on in some long-neglected areas. Chris Tyson is President and CEO of Build Baton Rouge, the city-parish redevelopment authority, which was founded in 2009 to promote equitable investment in disinvested communities throughout Baton Rouge. Chris took over at the helm of Build Baton Rouge in 2016 and is leading the agency through an ambitious effort to revitalize one of Baton Rouge's most blighted corridors – Plank Road. Chris is a real estate attorney by training with a graduate degree from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and a law degree from Georgetown. He is also a distinguished professor at LSU's Paul M Hebert Law Center.  Donnie Jarreau is a real estate developer and investor who's been active in the Baton Rouge market since the late 1980s. Early in 2020 he restructured his real estate brokerage, Jarreau Real Estate, to expand from a traditional commercial brokerage and property management services into an investment platform - JRE Private Equity Group - that enables qualified investors to buy into properties that the company identify as attractive investments. On a whole other business track, Donnie is  a founder and part owner in the Regymen Fitness chain, a boutique fitness concept with locations now in four states and Canada.  See photos from this show by Jill Lafleur at our website.

Chris Tyson, President & CEO of Build Baton Rouge, joins host Danielle Holly to share about the redevelopment authority’s mission to bring together people and resources to promote equitable investment, innovative development, and thriving communities across Baton Rouge. Like many places, Baton Rouge is a tale of two cities, marked by economic disparity and racial and spatial stratification as the result of decades of race-based housing and transportation policy. Chris explains why a lens of equity and a deep understanding of the community are essential for overcoming the consequences of these discriminatory policies and enabling communities to succeed. Skills-based volunteering and capacity building are also crucial in the fight for equity, something Chris experienced firsthand when Build Baton Rouge partnered with JPMorgan Chase on a pro bono project that contributed toward the revitalization of Plank Road, one of the city’s most blighted commercial corridors.

Erich Schroeder's version - Old Plank Road

Andrew Brewer has built a small eatery empire in Cottleville. Not even 30 years old, the owner of Plank Road Pizza, Cottleville Cookies and Cream, and 1798 BBQ has established some of the best restaurants in the region while seamlessly blending into a historic small town in St. Charles County. His clever menus and unique locations- built into historic homes along the main drag of Highway N- have helped his restaurants stand out and draw acclaim. He sat down with the Meet St. Louis podcast to talk about what drove him to go into business for himself, what it takes to turn home recipes into restaurant fare, and why he's committed to building community in his hometown. Sit back, plug in, and enjoy!

Deep dives.   Gardeners love to fall in love with particular plants.   We can fall so hard, that we tune out other possibilities for our gardens.   Then, in a fascinating twist, our deep dives can suddenly stop.   As is often the case, those deep dives can be followed by a pivot.   I started out as a shrub gardener. Then, I made a pivot to annuals and ornamentals and had nary a shrub in my garden.   Then I was anti-annual.   Then I moved into herbs and edibles.   Now I'm a little bit of everything.   Deep dives and pivots. Part of the process of growing a gardener.       Brevities   #OTD  It's the birthday of the Dutch botanist Gerard van Swieten, born on this day in 1700. In 1740, Maria Theresa inherited the Habsburg Empire. When it came to medicine, Austria was about 200 years behind its European neighbors. Maria Theresa acted quickly, recruiting the best available medical experts to her court. Gerard van Swieten was one of the most important people she brought to Vienna.  By May 1745, the Van Swieten family had sold all their belongings in the Netherlands and traveled to Vienna. Van Swieten laid the foundation for Austria's medical institutions. He totally reorganized the medical faculty of the University of Vienna; adding a botanical garden and a chemical laboratory, each headed by a professor.  Swieten published, in Latin, five volumes on the writings of Boerhaave; the work influenced medical practice throughout Europe. It also contained the first description of episodic cluster headache. Swieten exchanged letters with Linnaeus on botanical matters for over a decade. He named his youngest daughter, Maria Theresia after the Empress, who was also her godmother. His son Godfried would become famous in his own right as Austrian ambassador and patron of great classical composers such as Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. One fascinating story about Swieten was his role in fighting superstition during the enlightenment, specifically with regard to vampires.  In 1755 the Empress sent Swieten to Serbia to investigate. Swieten viewed the vampire myth as a "barbarism of ignorance" and his aim was to completely crush it.    In 1768 "that all the fuss .... [comes from] vain fear, a superstitious credulity, a dark and eventful imagination, simplicity and ignorance among the people."   Based on Swieten's report, Maria Theresa issue a decree that banned all traditional defences to vampires being put to the stakes, beheaded and burned.   The genus of mahogany, Swietenia,was named after Swieten.       #OTD in 1888, the first organizational meeting of the Rochester Parks Commission was held in Rochester, New York.  They decided to invite the great American landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted to design a park system for the city. In fact, Rochester was the last municipal park system designed by the renowned Olmsted. Charles Sprague Sargent, the first director of Harvard University's Arnold Arboretum, called Rochester "a city in a forest." Trees have been a vital part of Rochester since the city's founding. It was essentially an impenetrable forest when the first settlers arrived. In early Rochester, trees were so plentiful that early settlers built roads from them. Rochester's Plank Road, now paved, is a nod to the road's original construction.     #OTD  On this day in 1901, the Fruit and Vegetable Committee reviewed 16 stocks of radish in Drill Hall as part of the Royal Horticultural Society's trial of salad plants at Chiswick. All of the radish were sown in a cold frame on March 7. Except on cold nights the lights were not put on the frames.  1. Early Gem ''. Veitch).-Ready for use April 29. Roots longish oval, scarlet, tipped with white. Foliage moderate. A very crisp and pleasant-flavored variety. 2. Ever Tender (R. Veitch).-Same as No. 3. 3.

A white form of the well-known Wood's Frame.   #OTD On this day in 1936, Henry Teuscher arranged for the first sod was cut in preparing the space for the Montreal Botanical Garden.   Teuscher had been appointed superintendent and chief horticulturalist of the future Montreal Botanical Garden. A visionary, Teuscher began dreaming of an ideal botanical garden. By fall, Teuscher had hired 2,000 unemployed men through Quebec government's unemployment assistance program to get building underway.  By 1939, the administration building, production greenhouses, roads, and two lakes had been installed.    WWII brought challenges for Teuscher that extended outside of the garden. A German, Teuscher was accused of being aspy for the Nazis.  Although he was declared innocent, the accusations took a toll. In 1956, Teauscher was there to see the opening of his greenhouses, the realization of his dream for the garden.        #OTD On this day in 2015, Bartram’s Garden, in Philadelphia, was designated an American Society for Horticultural Science (ASHS) Horticultural Landmark.   The prestigious award commemorates sites of horticultural accomplishments selected for historical, scientific, environmental, and aesthetic value. Bartram’s joins an elite group of ASHS Horticultural Landmarks. The award was first presented to Monticello, home of President Thomas Jefferson. Other recipients include Longwood Gardens, Missouri Botanical Garden, New York Botanical Garden, Arnold Arboretum, and Fairchild Botanical Garden.   How were Bartram’s Gardens preserved?     Andrew McCalla Eastwick (1806-1879) an engineer and the inventor of the steam shovel, made sure the historic garden was kept intact.  Eastwick had banked a personal mint after building railroads for Czar Nicholas I of Russia.  In 1850, he bought the 46-acre Bartram estate from John Bartram’s granddaughter; Ann Bartram Carr.   Unlike the fate of many old homes, Eastwick decided not to tear down the existing house.  Instead, he kept the Bartram family homestead as a memorial, building his own mansion beside Bartrams. He vowed not to harm “one bush” planted by the Bartrams.       Unearthed Words   "Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven." ~ Rabindranath Tagore, born on this day in 1861   Today's book recommendation: Life in the Garden by Penelope Lively Penelope Lively takes up her key themes of time and memory, and her lifelong passions for art, literature, and gardening in this philosophical and poetic memoir. From the courtyards of her childhood home in Cairo to a family cottage in Somerset, to her own gardens in Oxford and London, Lively conducts an expert tour, taking us from Eden to Sissinghurst and into her own backyard, traversing the lives of writers like Virginia Woolf and Philip Larkin while imparting her own sly and spare wisdom. "Her body of work proves that certain themes never go out of fashion," writes the New York Times Book Review, as true of this beautiful volume as of the rest of the Lively canon. Lively said, "To garden is to elide past, present, and future; it is a defiance of time." Today's Garden Chore Trial something this year. Experiment with a few new varieties. Notice the differences. If you've ever seen the movie Runaway Bride, with Julia Roberts, there's a scene where she (Maggie) and Richard Gere (Ike) are arguing about eggs. Throughout the movie, Ike has been interviewing her former fiancés. He'd ask them how Maggie liked her eggs cooked. Maggie never formulated her own opinion, she just ordered whatever her fiancé ordered. Take basil.  How can you know if you prefer Mammoth or Purple Ruffles until you've grown or cooked with both? Whatever plants you think you love, the odds are good you'll love a variation of it even more.     Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart In 1855, Darwin wrote to William Darwin Fox I am rather low today about all my experiments,—everything has been going wrong—the fan-tails have picked the feathers out of the Pouters in their Journey home—the fish at the Zoological Gardens after eating seeds would spit them all out again—Seeds will sink in salt-water—all nature is perverse & will not do as I wish it, & just at present I wish I had the old Barnacles to work at & nothing new.   It was just a bad day. 23 years later - in 1878 on this day, he wrote to Thomas Henry Farrer, 1st Baron Farrer "At present I care for nothing in this wide world except the biology of seedling plants."       Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

In Ep #62 the boys struggle to come up with banter witty enough to counter the plague that is, The Cloverfield Paradox. Tony & Eddie wanted to love this movie. Truly. It has all the makings of a fantastic sci-fi thriller but with clunky writing, ify dialogue, and some of the worst sci-fi science they've ever seen...it fails wonderfully. There's ups and downs here, but the ups are small mounds and the downs are canyons. The boys consistently didn't like this very inconsistent film. It gets worse, Tony had a really bad beer too. However, perhaps Eddie is getting warmer on sours as his Imperial Concord Grape sour wasn't...bad at all actually. The boys tried beers from Plank Road and Southern Tier this week. Tune in to find out more about their grueling watch of the newest Cloverfield installment.

When it comes to high tech innovations, sometimes it s not so much a matter of what a new technology can make happen, it s what it can prevent from happening. Today, we have two guests whose companies have come up with innovations that have exciting applications in preventing real world destruction by things like corrosion and fire. Plank Road Technologies is a joint venture that is not based on Plank Road. It s actually located in the LSU Innovation Park business incubator. Plank Road Technologies combines two patented technologies that enable everything from military assets to motor vehicles to lithium ion batteries to be safely transported in air tight, vacuum packed bags. The company s technology holds exciting potential for the military and NASA, and currently has deals in the works. Jeff Garfinkle is the president of Plank Road Technologies. Mitchell Montanio has come up with a better way to put out fires. detect and prevent fires. and he is the xxx of Hot Shot Sprinklers. The company s patent pending technology has created a sprinkler system that uses infrared technology to detect a fire then more accurately aim a nozzle at the flames to extinguish them without causing extensive water damage. It s a really cool story, but here s the real kicker Mitchell and his team are just high school students at the Dunham School. Photos at Mansurs on the Bouevard by Ken Stewart.
