GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 9th Publish Date: October 9th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, October 9th and Happy birthday to John Lennon I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Lilburn Daze festival celebrates 53 years of community and creativity Gwinnett spending nearly $1 million for three new ambulances O’Dwyer Homes Breaks Ground on 'Build for CURE' home in Lawrenceville Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on budgeting All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Ingles Markets 10 STORY 1: Lilburn Daze festival celebrates 53 years of community and creativity Lilburn Daze—man, it’s come a long way. Picture this: back in the '70s, it was just a scrappy little thing in a shopping center parking lot. Now? It’s the fall festival in Gwinnett County. This Saturday, from 9 to 5, City Park on Main Street will be buzzing. Arts and crafts, food trucks, kids bouncing around (literally), live music, and even a health tent. Oh, and the Doggy Dazzle Paw-rade at 11 a.m.? Adorable chaos. Susan Allred, festival chair, says they’re expecting 5,000–10,000 folks. “It’s our biggest fundraiser,” she adds. Proceeds? They fuel community programs. So, grab a shuttle, bring your dog, and soak it all in. STORY 2: Gwinnett spending nearly $1 million for three new ambulances Gwinnett’s getting three shiny new ambulances—finally. On Tuesday, county commissioners approved a $932,383 deal with Life Line Emergency Vehicles, and if all goes to plan, they’ll arrive in December. One ambulance will roll in on a RAM 5500 chassis, while the other two will use Chevy 5500 chassis the county bought during the pandemic. (Remember those supply chain nightmares?) Turns out, they’ve just been sitting there, unused. Funded by the 2017 SPLOST, these ambulances are all-new, top to bottom. STORY 3: O’Dwyer Homes Breaks Ground on 'Build for CURE' home in Lawrenceville O’Dwyer Homes just broke ground on something truly special—a “Build for CURE” home, where every penny from the sale will go to CURE Childhood Cancer. The ceremony happened Sept. 17 at 1108 Duluth Highway in Lawrenceville, and honestly, it’s more than just a house. It’s hope. “This is personal,” says Kathy O’Dwyer. Years ago, she watched Sean Dever, her son’s best friend’s little brother, fight osteosarcoma. And Brandon, the builder? His son John battled leukemia at nine. Both families leaned on CURE during their darkest days. Now, John’s thriving, Sean’s thriving—and this home? It’s for the next family who needs a lifeline.

We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 4: Making waves: North Georgia students dive into water industry at leadership summit On a crisp September morning, over 160 high schoolers from across North Georgia showed up at The Water Tower in Buford, probably not expecting to leave thinking, Huh, maybe water’s my thing. But that’s exactly what happened. The Student Water Innovation and Leadership Summit (Sept. 26) wasn’t your typical career day. Students from schools like Mill Creek, Shiloh, and Discovery got hands-on—peering into microscopes, testing filtration systems, even diving into virtual reality. They learned water isn’t just faucets and pipes; it’s labs, engineering, crisis management, and, yes, running treatment plants. With a looming workforce gap (a third retiring soon!), programs like this are game-changers. STORY 5: Gwinnett installing sidewalks near Dyer Elementary Kids walking to Dyer Elementary in Dacula? It’s about to get a whole lot safer—and easier. Gwinnett County just approved a $1.3 million contract with Ohmshiv Construction to build new sidewalks near the school. The plan? Sidewalks will stretch along Hurricane Shoals Road (north side) from the school to Retreat Drive, and on Rabbit Hill Circle (west side) from Hurricane Shoals to Hood Road. The project, funded by the 2023 SPLOST, kicks off soon and should wrap up in 100 working days. Finally, some peace of mind for parents. We’ll be right back.

What happens when you combine perfect hoodie weather, exceptionally potent cannabis, and sidewalks that require the vigilance of a bomb squad technician? Welcome to Portland, Oregon – a city that demands you look up at its breathtaking beauty while carefully watching every step.The contradictions of Portland create the perfect backdrop for reflection. One moment I'm admiring the stunning architecture and fall colors painting the sky in magnificent hues, the next I'm dodging "dog" waste with the agility of an Olympic athlete. This constant shifting between appreciation and avoidance becomes a metaphor for life itself – finding beauty despite obstacles.My adventures took unexpected turns, from dropping an AirPod on an airport bathroom floor (creating an existential hygiene crisis) to visiting what I can only describe as a "witch coffee shop" complete with tarot readings and crystal-infused beverages. The cannabis scene lived up to its reputation, leading to a sushi experience where I questioned whether decorative flowers were meant for consumption (they weren't, but I ate one anyway to the visible confusion of the chef).The most profound moment came during an evening walk as dusk settled over the city. As the sky transformed through different shades of blue, I found myself overwhelmed with abstract gratitude – not directed at anything specific, just a general appreciation for being present in that beautiful moment. Sometimes thankfulness doesn't need a target; it can simply exist as recognition of the wonder around us.From serendipitous encounters with strangers who became temporary companions to observations about the eclectic Sunday crowd, Portland revealed itself as a place that embraces individuality in all its forms. The city doesn't hide its flaws but somehow integrates them into its unique character, creating an authenticity that's increasingly rare in our world.Ready to join me on more adventures?

Jenn talks about parking on the sidewalk in front of the radio station. 

Portland City Councilor Mitch Green is introducing a proposal that would make it easier for sidewalk food vendors to operate in the city. The ordinance would remove city requirements that prevent vendors from operating outside similar businesses, such as restaurants, and without getting consent from adjacent property owners to operate on the sidewalk.   Green says easing the regulations could give small businesses a boost, but restaurant advocates say sidewalk vendors could hurt businesses that are still struggling to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. OPB’s Portland city government reporter Alex Zielinski joins us to talk about the proposed ordinance and more.

Newtown Planning Commission Synopsis: September 16, 2025 This synopsis of a Newtown Township Planning Commission meeting details, discussions ,and recommendations for two land development proposals. The first proposal concerns subdividing a 5.11-acre parcel on Upper Silver Lake Road into three residential lots, with the Commission recommending approval contingent upon the requirement of sidewalks, crosswalks, and handicapped ramps. The second discussion centered on a sketch plan for a three-story mini-storage facility at 98 Upper Silver Lake Road, replacing a former bank. A significant point of contention was the proposed inclusion of a manager's apartment, which is not permitted under current Light Industrial zoning. Despite the zoning conflict, the Commission ultimately voted to support the sketch plan, though there was division regarding the proposed dwelling unit variance, with supporters citing enhanced site security as a benefit.

On this episode, Nathan Goodman is joined by Michael Clemens to discuss why immigration policy matters not just for migrants themselves but for broader economic growth. Drawing on his influential work, including “Economics and Emigration: Trillion-Dollar Bills on the Sidewalk?” (JEP, 2011) and “The Place Premium: Bounding the Price Equivalent of Migration Barriers” (REStat, 2019), Clemens explains how even modest liberalization of migration can create enormous gains, why exchange is positive-sum, and how complementary skills across the workforce drive production. Together they assess the claim that immigration undermines culture and institutions and revisit historical panics ranging from the Chinese Exclusion Act to the Dillingham Commission. Dr. Michael Clemens is a professor in the Department of Economics at George Mason University and a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. He helped build the research program on international migration at the Center for Global Development.

This week on Respect Life Radio, Emma Ramirez and Jennifer Torres welcome Briana Zappavigna, Colorado Regional Program Manager for Sidewalk Advocates for Life (SAFL), a nationwide nonprofit bringing peaceful, prayerful presence to abortion facilities across the country. Briana reveals how SAFL's compassionate approach—meeting women where they are with the model of mom, baby, God—is changing hearts and saving lives. She explains the practical training volunteers receive to engage in conversations marked by love, hope, and truth rather than condemnation or guilt. Briana also offers powerful insights and practical tips for anyone praying outside an abortion clinic, ensuring that their witness remains peaceful, respectful, and law-abiding. Discover how ordinary people are making an extraordinary impact—and how you can be part of it—at sidewalkadvocates.org.

In this episode, I'm joined by Ali Kashani, Co-Founder and CEO of Serve Robotics. Serve is pioneering autonomous sidewalk delivery at scale—with hundreds of robots already operating in major U.S. cities and thousands more on the way.Ali and I dive into the complexity of autonomy: the technical challenges, the economics, the regulatory and consumer adoption hurdles, and the leadership required to make sense of it all. He shares how Serve is approaching innovation, why their technology and go-to-market path is unique, and what it takes to attract, empower, and retain world-class talent in such a fast-moving space.We also talk about the bigger picture—why last-mile delivery has lagged so far behind other logistics revolutions, and why the sidewalk may hold the key to a generational leap in productivity and sustainability.About Ali KashaniAli Kashani is the Co-Founder and CEO of Serve Robotics, the leading autonomous sidewalk delivery company. He previously co-founded and led robotics efforts at Postmates, which was later acquired by Uber, before spinning out Serve as an independent company in 2021. Under Ali's leadership, Serve has scaled to one of the largest fleets of urban delivery robots in the world and became a publicly traded company in 2023. Ali is a repeat entrepreneur with a deep background in AI and robotics, and he has been a leading voice on the future of autonomy, urban mobility, and responsible AI deployment.Connect with AliLinkedIn: Ali KashaniServe Robotics: serverobotics.comConnect with MeLinkedIn: Brandon BartneckPodcast: Building Better with Brandon BartneckPJ Wallbank Springs: pjws.comEdison Manufacturing & Engineering: edison-mfg.com

Most of us don't give sidewalks a second thought. They're ordinary, unremarkable, and everywhere. But Kaitlyn Schiess explains why even something as plain as a sidewalk can reveal profound truths about God and humanity. Responding to this week's child's question, If God made everything, why did people make sidewalks? Kaitlyn explores the Christian belief that God created the world out of nothing, how human creativity reflects the image of God, and why our best inventions are those that foster community. From Genesis to Revelation, she shows that sidewalks may be more than concrete paths under our feet; they may point us toward the city of God.   0:00 - Sponsor - God's Colorful Kingdom Storybook Bible - Available now, a kid's storybook Bible from Esau McCaulley: https://a.co/d/hVy8aUl   0:55 - Theme Song   2:07 - Did God Not Make Sidewalks?   7:12 - God Made Everything… Out of Nothing   17:30 - Sponsor - Glorify - Sign up for the #1 Christian Daily Devotional App to help you stay focused on God.

 Alex Stone reports Texas House Democrats are finally heading back to Austin after a two-week standoff over redistricting. Their return clears the path for Republicans to push through new congressional maps that could net them five extra House seats. But the fight's just getting started—California is threatening to redraw its own maps in the opposite direction, giving Democrats more seats to cancel out Texas's move. Heather Brooker: How “Clean L.A. with Me” is transforming filthy city streets into something Angelenos can be proud of. Michael Monks: City liability payouts have hit record highs—and that's why your sidewalks are still a  Monks continues: With lawsuits draining city funds, can anything be done to stop the bleeding and finally fix the problem?

In early 2025, Washington, D.C., became the stage for a dramatic federal intervention. President Donald Trump placed the city's police department under federal control, deployed the National Guard, and ordered a sweeping crackdown on what he called “chaos.” For some, this meant confronting violent crime; for others, it was a broad campaign against visible disorder — tents under overpasses, graffiti-stained walls, groups loitering in public spaces.The move split opinion instantly. Supporters cast it as overdue action to restore safety and dignity to the nation's capital. Critics saw it as a political occupation of a predominantly Black city, part of a longer-term plan to extend federal authority into other “blue” urban centers like Chicago and Portland.The political theater became sharper when observers compared it to an earlier high-profile cleanup: San Francisco's facelift before the November 2023 APEC summit, when Governor Gavin Newsom openly admitted the city had been “spruced up” for visiting leaders, including China's Xi Jinping. Sidewalks were power-washed, graffiti painted over, homeless encampments removed. Newsom even likened it to “tidying up before company comes.” That candor drew some criticism, but the coverage generally framed it as practical housekeeping for a major diplomatic event.Trump's operation in D.C. looks similar on paper — clearing encampments, cleaning streets, tightening enforcement — but it's narrated differently. Newsom's was about “showcasing” the city for foreign dignitaries; Trump's is depicted as an authoritarian flex, unmoored from a specific event, aimed at demonstrating who truly controls America's cities.Part of the divide is in perceived intent. Newsom's effort had a finite purpose and a fixed end date. Trump's is presented as open-ended, the start of a broader campaign. And part is in language. Trump's public rhetoric leans heavily on crime imagery — “murderers,” “rapists,” “terrorists” — even though his focus appears more on quality-of-life policing: turnstile jumping, street vending, petty theft, and public camping. This is broken windows theory made national policy, reframed as a violent crime crackdown.This is where the bait-and-switch comes in. The official justification talks about homicides and carjackings. But the most visible changes are the removal of behaviors and individuals that make the city feel “unsafe” or “unseemly” — the kind of soft, subjective factors that drive tourism and real estate but rarely show up in crime stats. Washington, like San Francisco before Xi's visit, becomes a kind of showroom. The difference is that the “guest” isn't a foreign leader but the American public, watching the sweep unfold live on television.The double standard is not entirely about partisanship. It's also about narrative permission: who is allowed to impose order and for what reason. A liberal governor doing it for a diplomatic event is civic pride; a conservative president doing it without that context is authoritarian overreach.Both actions involve removing visible disorder. Both are about control of urban space. The distinction lies in the stories we accept about why those streets were swept clean — and what it means when the broom is held by different hands.

The rumors might be true... the desert heat is hot– maybe even hot enough to cook your breakfast. Just ask the town of Oatman, Arizona, where the annual egg fry competition has become a long-standing tradition. If anyone can confirm the myth, it's the participants. But as it turns out– there is always more to the story. In this week's episode of Valley 101, a podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, we explore this Arizona heat myth, with the help of a climatologist, food safety expert, and small-town competition to answer the question: can you really cook an egg on the sidewalk in Arizona? ⁠⁠⁠⁠Submit your question⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ about Phoenix!

Monterey City Council is slated to take a final vote on a local ordinance that would put stricter limits on sidewalk vendors near Old Fisherman's Wharf. And, a bill would require California hospitals to inform low-income patients of financial assistance programs.

This is the afternoon All Local update for August 3, 2025.

The Kewanee City Council addressed several key measures in its latest session. Approval was granted for a variance, allowing Brian Rowlison to exceed accessory structure height limits on Simpson Avenue. A Special Use Permit was also issued to Tracy Glasgo for property on North East Street. Budget decisions for the next fiscal year were postponed, as was the Sidewalk & Scooter Ordinance. Maintenance under the Illinois Highway Code received a green light, along with an agreement for Hutchison Engineering to promote South Street transportation improvements. Council members also discussed sidewalk reimbursement policies and potential regulations for outside eating areas but took no formal action. Kewanee City Council meetings are streamed live on Facebook and posted on our YouTube page.

Jonathan Hale, photographer  joins the show to talk to Gary and Shannon about how a group of West LA residents, frustrated by speeding traffic near Stoner Park, painted DIY crosswalks to improve pedestrian safety. The city, however, removed the markings.

But in 1861, the worst floods in state history turned the Willamette Valley into one giant half-million-acre lake and swept several burgeoning towns away.
