Curious if Disney's Beaches and Cream lives up to the hype? We promise an eye-opening review of this beloved retro soda fountain located at the Beach Club Resort.

From there, we transport you to the nostalgic ambiance of Beaches and Cream, exploring its classic American menu, and highlighting its mouth-watering Kitchen Sink sundae. We even dive into the restaurant's history, including its 2019 renovation that expanded seating and improved reservations, making it more accessible for Disney dining enthusiasts.Despite sky-high expectations, our visit fell flat due to slow service and underwhelming food quality, especially when compared to other Disney dining options.

Happy New Year from the Meet St Louis Podcast. We can't wait to continue sharing the stories behind the places you love in our region. It's a new year, and there's so much to look forward to. Including the opening of new spots around town. This week we sat down with Steven O'Loughlin, the president of Lodging Hospitality Management. LHM is the team behind many of your favorite spots in St. Louis and they're expanding west. The company was behind the revamp and restoration of St Louis Union Station – bringing the aquarium and The Wheel and soon a few new attractions. They brought you 360 in Downtown and The Soda Fountain, and now both of those concepts will expand to Westport Plaza in Maryland Heights. We sat down with Steve to talk about the expansions and take us back to the beginning of his hospitality career, which started at Stouffers, a name many in St. Louis might recall and know now as the vacant Millennium Hotel. He's been in the hotel and restaurant industry for decades and shares the ins and outs in this week's episode. The new Soda Fountain at Westport is now open, and the new 360 is expected to open later this month.

What's coming to a soda fountain near you in 2023? Kevin Sherman, CEO of Tractor Beverage Co., predicts innovation will shake up the conventional fountain machine that has remained stagnant for decades. Sherman joins QSR editor Danny Klein to talk about how consumer demand for better-for-you choices (particularly from Gen Z), fast casual powerhouses like Chipotle, Burger King, and newcomer Hart House have made organic, sustainable, and plant-based food options affordable and accessible to all. And why now is the time for the soda fountain to catch up before it fizzes out.

What's the point of working yourself stiff if you can't take it with you when you go?  Younger folks in the American workforce get it. Maybe wealth and power aren't what they're cracked up to be if we're all gonna give it up when we cross into the great beyond.  If Baby Boomers were work-a-holics, and Gen-Ex'ers the slacker generation, then Millennials and the generations after them have become the work/life balance generations. And that can mean leaving the runaround of a steady job. Quitting can be rewarding: if it means spending more time with your family.  Seth Caldron left his job offshore to spend more time with his three-year-old son and chart a new career in the arts with his wife Jana. In 2021, they launched Aaron Grey Co., a Louisiana themed custom engraving, woodwork and design brand.  They built a shop in their backyard and packed it with woodworking equipment and a laser engraver. Jana makes the designs, while Seth churns out the products. And they can make just about anything out of wood, acrylic and leather, specializing in custom gifts. Their hottest seller is a handmade cocktail smoker made with wood chips from white oak barrels used to age Wildcat Brothers rum.  One career change can be a big enough challenge for a family, what about two?  Deanna Saizon left a career with a good company to pursue her passion for interior design. After 12 years at the Lemoine Company, she opened Saizon Designs in August 2021. That same year, her husband Alex lost his full-time job and turned to his thriving side-hustle for a new career.  Alex had launched Sirop Trading Company in 2019, a brand for his homemade simple syrup. When it was just a part-time gig, he managed to get his syrup in 120 stores. So when Adam Smith's invisible hand closed the door on his last job, it opened a window for entrepreneurship. Sirop Trading Company blew up. Today, Alex's syrups are sold in 350 stores spread across California, Texas, Florida, Indiana and Louisiana including big name brands like Costco and Total Wines.  Out to Lunch Acadiana was recorded live over lunch at Sunday's Soda Fountain in downtown Lafayette.

There's a lot more to retail than selling something a customer wants. More and more, customers want experience. They want to feel like they're buying into something — a lifestyle, an ethos, a trend. Smart retailers, of course, know their customers. Really smart retailers know their customers better than they know themselves. Curation, then, is the name of the name.  Even with a treasure trove of marketing data available at your fingertips, selecting what you sell is still a challenge. That's how local retailers hold their ground in the age of e-commerce: They know their customers better than anyone.  Some are so good at it, they can game the system the other way around: selling their collections online.  Charlotte Cryer has operated Caroline & Co. in Lafayette since 1997. The shop offers a wide variety of goods and gift ideas. Home decor and accessories, clothing, bath and beauty supplies and holiday specialties. Caroline & Co. has two locations now, with its flagship store in the River Ranch neighborhood.  Charlotte has also found a market for her goods online. They offer complimentary gift-wrapping and can ship straight from the store to anywhere in the country.  If you're selling wedding dresses, curation is everything. Brides want to feel special on their wedding day, and they'll pay handsomely for it. Gowns can cost $2,000 or more. It's a lot to spend on something you'll (theoretically) wear only once.  Nicole Cline takes each sale one by one. Her shop Sposa Bella has one dressing room, and her brides come in by appointment only. That approach gives Nicole the time and space to attend to the details of what brides want. She does extensive interviews with her customers before they try anything on. From there, brides and their families are treated to a concierge experience complete with champagne and music.  That level of care was missing when Nicole's daughter got engaged and bought her wedding dress. When Nicole saw the opportunity to buy Sposa Bella, she seized the chance to fill that gap in the Lafayette bridal market.

Variety is the spice of life. Right? Well, in Louisiana spice is the spice of life! Or maybe flavor.  It's beyond cliche that we like things spicy here. Although most cooks and chefs will tell you we like things well-seasoned. No surprise then, that seasoning is a big business in this area. There are no shortage of homegrown seasonings or seasoning companies. Every family has their own favorite blend. So why not have a blend you can make on your own — and make a buck off of? Brothers Troy and Zo Bolden are doing just that with their company Cajun Nation.  Troy and Zo created the brand name in 2004 as an apparel company. When Zo's wife needed to go on a low-sodium diet, they came up with another idea: a line of low-sodium, MSG free seasonings that pack all the flavor the gulf coast is known for.  Cajun Nation took off. Today their products are found in major grocery and retail chains like Rouses, Albertsons and HEB in Texas. It's still very much a family operation, and a Black-owned, veteran-owned business.  We're constantly putting on our own spin or spice on pretty much every food you can find here in Louisiana. It's not just seafood that we like to be well-seasoned. What about — macarons?  Cream Cheese & Pepper Jelly. Candied Jalapeno. Smoked Pecan. These are hardly traditional French flavors. They're the brainchild of Virginia St. Germain, better known to her family as Tut — and the owner of Tut's Bakery.  Virginia turned her passion for home-baking into a home business that specializes in made-from-scratch confections and baked goods. She makes her own yeast for sourdough bread, dough for seasonal pies, and fillings for those inventive, devilish macarons.  Virginia is a psychiatric nurse by trade. She operates the bakery at home in New Iberia with help from her husband. Out to Lunch Acadiana is recorded live over lunch at Sunday's Soda Fountain in downtown Lafayette.

Let's talk about space. Not outer space — although we might get to that later — but the spaces we live and play.  On Earth, it's a limited resource. Which makes it ideal for a business venture.  You might find yourself standing in front of a strip of vacant land and say to yourself, "How do I turn this into something that makes money?" Or you might say, "What if it was still…space?"  In a nutshell, that's what happened with Moncus Park — if you gloss over some classic Lafayette political purposes. But for our purposes it will do.  Space (and parking spaces) It was 100 acres of paradise that Lafayette decided to preserve, rather than pave. And JP McFadyen currently serves as its Executive Director.  JP knows a thing or two about spaces. It got his start in the aerospace industry and later owned a bakery. JP sold the bakery and took a job as the park's operations manager. Moncus Park opened in January 2022.  Living Spaces You may have heard the U.S. is in short supply of housing. Yes, we've got plenty of space between the waves of grain and the purple mountains majesty, but there's still a dramatic need for new or updated homes in urban spaces.  Tyren Morrison has made a business out of addressing that problem. His company, Equity Hub Construction, is part contractor, part developer and part title company. The stack of services helps Tyren easily rescue distressed houses and put them back into productive use as affordable homes.  Tyren got into the work repairing homes in the Lake Charles area after Hurricane Laura, and saw an opportunity to put all the parts of remarketing homes under one roof.  Tyren was born and raised in Lafayette, And got his start in the oil and gas industry.

In this episode, Melanie sits down with community pharmacist Michele Belcher. Michele is president of the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) and the owner of Grants Pass Pharmacy, which dates to 1904 and is the last independent pharmacy in Grants Pass, Oregon. Elected president of NCPA in 2022, Michele has long been active in state and federal legislation impacting community pharmacies as well as Oregon's state pharmacy coalition. When Grants Pass was hit hard by the Delta variant, Michele led the charge for her community pharmacy to rise to the occasion and rallied colleagues to administer COVID-19 vaccines to a particularly vulnerable population: the developmentally disabled. And as the country continues to face a shortage of primary care physicians, Michele is advocating for pharmacists to expand the clinical services they provide. A community pharmacist that easily moves between small town America to the nation's capital, Michele is a leader to watch as the healthcare industry continues to undergo rapid change.

Mike sits down with soda fountain historian Darcy O'Neil.

Alternate title: BURNS MALTS…. Paul remembers being told: ‘It’s a nice day outside. Why don’t you go out & enjoy it?” He heard this phrase throughout his years as a child from local pharmacist Milt Burns. Burns Drugstore made the world’s BEST MALTS and people of all ages flocked there to taste the thick, ice creamy goodness in a tin. Milt Burns seemed to not fully understand or appreciate the money-making power of his soda fountain within his own pharmacy. Also luring people inside were sundries, prescriptions filled, hot roasted peanuts, 10 cent candy bars and comic books, Yet Milt shuffled kids out of the store before they bought anything at all. Was it that Milt hated the soda fountain, kids, or something else? The answer is finally revealed in today’s episode. Also: Keep an eye out for a padlocked park named old Maroon Field as well… A kite flier’s paradise! SO, WHY WERE PAUL & HIS FRIENDS CONSTANTLY BEING SENT OUTSIDE OF THE LOCAL DRUGSTORE?

Welcome to the 194th episode of the LATE NIGHT FRIGHT, broadcasting live from WKMF Cozy Corner Public Radio. Thank you all for tuning in, be you a carbon based life form from spaceship Earth, or an astral traveler from a dimension yet to be discovered. Welcome one and all!  Tonight's episode for December 7th, 2020 begins our month long celebration of the films of two of horror's most revered names: Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. The Hammer house of horror was built on 1957's THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, starring Cushing as Baron Frankenstein and Lee as the creature, and 1958's DRACULA (released as HORROR OF DRACULA in the United States), which featured Cushing as Dr. Van Helsing and Lee in his iconic role as Count Dracula. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee would go on to appear in 22 films together and remained the closest of friends for the rest of their lives.  Peter Cushing has the spotlight tonight in 1960's THE BRIDES OF DRACULA from Hammer Films. The first sequel to DRACULA finds the good doctor back in Transylvania battling a handsome vampire by the name of Baron Meinster (David Peel) who has his sights set on lovely school teacher Marianne Danielle (Yvonne Monlaur). Directed by legendary horror director Terence Fisher (THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, DRACULA, THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES, THE MUMMY) and filmed beautifully by director of photography Jack Asher, THE BRIDES OF DRACULA is a thrilling and chilling Gothic vampire film and a worthy sequel to its landmark predecessor. We have paired THE BRIDES OF DRACULA with another sequel to a landmark film. Five years after Bela Lugosi terrified audiences in Universal's classic 1931 production of DRACULA, moviegoers were treated to 1936's DRACULA'S DAUGHTER from director Lambert Hillyer (1945's 15 part BATMAN serial). The film is a direct sequel to its predecessor and features a return appearance from Edward Van Sloan (DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN, THE MUMMY) as Van Helsing alongside Otto Kruger (an apt name for a horror movie lead, don't you think), Gloria Holden as the title character, Marguerite Churchill, and Irving Pichel. Released during Universal's golden age run as the original house of horror, DRACULA'S DAUGHTER is a worthy entry in the canon, featuring all of the thrills, chills and atmosphere one expects from a classic Universal horror film.  Tonight's commercials include spots for Farmer Felcher's Old Fashioned Gluten, Holy Smoke (Cozy Corner's premier Christian vape shop), Rumps Adult Novelty and Soda Fountain, and Hammer Curlz, an exciting new workout program hosted by the one and only Bobby D'Amato (host of AFTERGLOW, the show that comes on after THE LATE NIGHT FRIGHT). As always, there is a news break featuring all of the fake news not fit to print. Join your hosts, Dan and Faith, as they work the graveyard shift at WKMF Cozy Corner Public Radio to bring you THE LATE NIGHT FRIGHT, the horror movie review show that is so important it has been released on Laserdisc AND Betamax!  Pour yourself a cup of coffee, put your feet up and get ready to howl at the moon! It's time for THE LATE NIGHT FRIGHT!  You can get in touch with THE LATE NIGHT FRIGHT at latenightfrightpodcast@gmail.com Click here for the Wikipedia entry on Peter Cushing, featuring biographical details and his filmography  For an excellent video analysis of Peter Cushing's association with Hammer Films, click here for the video by Steve Shives

While we're known for sportsball and food, there's a lot more to learn about Wisconsin if you know where to look. In this episode, I cover the Pfister - a Milwaukee hotel spooky enough to scare off professional atheletes... and fancy enough to keep the pleebs like me away. We'll cover fun history, baseball, and portly gents. Also, does this look like it's seemlessly integrated? I don't think so.

Transcript Hey! In case you haven't listened to the first episode, I'm Kirsten Schultz and I'm your host. We talk about everything weird and creepy and spooky and random in Wisconsin. I really love true crime and I was really kind of getting bummed that the only few things being covered in Wisconsin constantly are Ed Gein and Jeffrey Dahmer. And while both of their stories are interesting, there's so much more to Wisconsin. So thanks for tuning in. Thanks for wanting to learn more about Wisconsin and random creepy shit. This week I wanted to do one of the coolest places. I have never been in the state. The Pfister hotel in Milwaukee is expensive enough to scare off the average person (i.e., me) and haunted enough to scare off even professional athletes. ----more---- Located at 424 East Wisconsin Avenue, the Pfister Hotel opened in 1893. The hotel is ornate and beautiful and happens to house the largest Victorian art collection of any hotel in the world, which I guess I didn't assume any hotel housed much Victorian art. So that was a weird fact for me. I don't know. It's fancy. It costs about a million dollars to build back in 1893. Um, and just to give you a rough idea in today's money, that's about $26,000,000. It's a lot. It's not just one of the most haunted places in Wisconsin, it's also one of the most haunted places in the country and constantly makes top 10 lists or top nine list or random numbers, but it's constantly the top of like spooky haunted hotel shit which is kind of awesome. It is the vision of businessman Guido Pfister and his son Charles. Um, like I said, the hotel opened in 1893. Charles went forward with the plan, still really enthusiastic about it, um, after his father passed away in 1889. So they had been talking, had been, you know, getting things set in motion for the hotel to go and be built and get started. And I'm all the sudden Guido dies and Charles, you know, carries on, wants to make sure that their family name, you know, still gets represented and really, um, kind of do this for pop kind of a thing, which was cool. It was designed by architect Henry C Koch [multiple pronunciations follow] - I don't know, whatever. There's too many pronunciations of that name. Um, he also designed the Turner Hall which is now Turner Ballroom which is a concert hall in Milwaukee, um, Science Hall at the University of Wisconsin campus in Madison as well as Milwaukee's city hall. The Pfister had features uncommon in its time such as fireproofing, electricity, and even thermostat controls like this shit was fannnncy. It replaced the Newhall House essentially, um, which had been destroyed in a fire in 1883. And that killed 90 people. But, but the Newhall House was like THE hotel in the city. Um, so once the Pfister came in, it became THE hotel in the city. And it's constantly where a number of professional sports teams stay when they're in town, where a lot of performing acts at nearby entertainment venue stay. So it's really a mainstay of stable in Milwaukee 125 years later, which is really cool. The story or the lobby is three stories and they really wanted to make it like a lush, opulent, glorious living room. There's touches of gold gilding, grand marble staircases that have bronze lions on them, like, to greet people, like on the sides. It's ridiculous. There's of course paintings and all the fancy art. There's a fresco on the ceiling, like it's like the spooky hotel should have been on American Horror Story: Hotel. Like it is fancy as fuck. Fuck-fancy. The whole way that the art collection started was actually, Charles wanted to share his personal art collection with the guests and really make that area feel like the fancy ass living room it is. It kind of started from there. The original building, um, because there have been additions which I will get to in a moment. Um, but it was eight stories. It's kind of this creamy or grayish limestone. There's romanesque renewal architecture on the outside. Um, there's granite columns, there's terra cotta touches and there's these giant bay windows - giant. The original 200 rooms were built with high ceilings and decorated with 19th century decorations, as you might imagine. It really offered a number of cool, um, services and conveniences within its walls as a lot of, like really fancy hotels tend to do it, housed things including restaurants, naturally a barbershop, hair salon, a drugstore with a Soda Fountain, a men's Lounge, a ladies' lounge, and the ballroom, which is, you know, available for rent for different things like weddings and other events at exorbitant prices. Um, you know, has seen a number of really cool events including a dinner for President William Mckinley and his cabinet, which is kind of amazing. Um, I don't think many people realize like how cool Wisconsin is. I mean, that's why I'm doing this podcast, but like, it's just one of those places that has always, you think of Milwaukee and that's what you think of, um, at least for people I think within the state who know about Pfister and it's significance in Milwaukee. That's what you think - for me, I think of the Brewers, the Bucks, and the Pfister, which they all kind of go together oddly enough. We'll get to that in a minute. So in the late fifties to early sixties, uh, there was a real period of decline, um, just in general in Milwaukee. It kind of tanked a little bit and fewer people were going to these really expensive fancy places. So, the hotel was purchased by Ben Marcus (of Marcus theaters, like, fame) and he wanted to bring the hotel back to its former glory because it also had kind of fallen into disrepair in some spots and it wasn't as great as it once had been over several years. They, you know, did renovations across though, it's how they also added some new things. So the first thing to do was a 23-story guestroom tower and it's kind of, if you're looking head on at the building, it's actually behind the original building, kind of like a circular tower, which is interesting. And that provided another 176 rooms and there's also a parking garage with that. And this is all 'seamlessly' added onto the old building. I kept seeing the word seamlessly added like that phrase. And honestly I get what they're going for. The colors the same. The style is not the same. I mean it's like setting up a roll of paper towels behind your laptop and making sure they're the same color and being like, "look, this was seamlessly added." Like, no, it's not the same. Um, it is really clear that it's not the same. You know, the, the added tower really looks very a sixties, I don't know. Anyway, to them it was seamlessly added. That's where the fanciest things are, which to me doesn't make any sense because they should be in the old building. But uh, there's rooms that feature English regency furniture, oversize wooden beds with post headboards swag drapes, framing bay windows and written white marble bathrooms. And just roll, just roll with the, uh, accents here. Currently all of the hotels, rooms and suites have magnificent furnishings. I copied some of this stuff from their hotels.com page, so I'm not meaning to sound like an ad for them, but it's going to come off a little bit that way. Um, there's 307 rooms currently. Um, there are 82 suites which have wet bars and sitting rooms. And wet bars, if you don't know what that is, um, if you've ever been in a larger hotel room and there's a little kitchennette kind of a thing where you've got like a little sink and a little like wine fridge that's a wet bar, not like swim up to a bar Wet Bar, although that'd be kind of amazing in these suites. The heritage suites have separate baths and showers, vanities, beautiful bathrooms and California king size beds. The king suites are in the historical section of the hotel and those have two rooms, a parlor and then the bedroom with a king bed. And in the pictures I was seeing, they are all like four-post beds, which is kind of fun. There's also usually like a pull out sleeper sofa in the parlor room. The tower king and double rooms or deluxe rooms which have spectacular views of the city and Lake Michigan because it is really in the heart of kind of downtown area, so you're really close to the lake and that towers pretty tall, so it's really easy to see the lake from those rooms. The Pfister double room is a deluxe room which is located in the section of the hotel that was renovated in 2008 because there was, there have been some ongoing renovations, but nothing quite as large as that one in the sixties from Ben Marcus. There's also a governor suite which is a three room suite. It includes a desk, a flatscreen TV, makeup mirrors, hairdryers and other amenities. You know, kind of going back to that Victorian artwork, visitors can explore and learn about the art collection in two ways. There's a self-guided tour, but the hotel - this is how you know it's fucking fancy - always has an artist-in-residence and they will take you on a tour of the artwork. Of course, it's had many different fancy people from dignitaries to musicians to actors, politicians (which I guess they're including in dignitaries but I feel like there's not a lot of dignity there). It's the most historic hotel in Wisconsin. It's a member of the elite preferred hotels and resorts worldwide and historic hotels of America, which, uh, is part of the program for National Trust for Historic Preservation. It's also a perennial winner of the AAA four diamond award. It's got like, it's one of those places that leaves chocolate on your pillows and has this little little note on the chocolates: "Because this hotel is a human institution to serve people and not solely a moneymaking organization. We hope that God will grant you peace and rest while you are under our roof. May the business that brought you out here way prosper. May every call you make and every message you receive add to your joy. May this room and hotel be your second home." Yeah, a is weird. Like I get it, but also like we're in 2018, 2019 here. Um, I don't know. It's just weird. Anyway, like I said, not here to be an advert for the hotel. So, let's dive into hauntings. The Pfister is legendary for ghosts, ghost hunting, ghost stories. Um, it was actually named one of America's most haunted historic hotels, which is real cool. The legend is that one of the ghost that haunts the hotel is Charles Pfister. You may remember him as the kid that went ahead and built the hotel. Guests and staff have seen him. They think he's a good natured portly gent. (Portly Gent - please some day if slash when I die, refer to me as a portly gent because that would be amazing) He usually stands, like, around the fancy staircase or is walking around the lobby and kind of enjoying what he built, which is cool. He's also been seen walking around the galleries and looking at the art. There's also like a random note in here about the people, like, hear puppies? I, I would be so happy, like I love dogs! So, every time I see any kind of animal I either shout out what it is - "Puppies!" - or, like, if I'm driving and I see a cow, okay, I'll go "Moos!" or I'll just start moving at them. Like, it would frustrate me to no end to be in a place where I can hear puppies, but there's no puppies to be found. I'm sorry. That is torture. Torture. Um, aside from puppies, the Pfister is beyond infamous among sports teams, particularly in major league baseball - so much so that a number of players will pay their own way to stay in different hotels to avoid the Pfister altogether when their teams are in town to play the Brewers. Players in general have reported things like stomping footsteps, moving lights, the AC or TV turning on and off, and mysterious voices. Um, I'll put a link to some of the most interesting and fun stories because there are a lot. Um, but I also want to share some right now because Holy Shit. Adrian Beltre, who's now retired, said in an interview in Sports Illustrated of all places that he heard knocking in the hallway and on his door. So, he went out to investigate, and found no one. Later, he watched as the air conditioning and TV both were switching on and off by themselves. When he was sleeping, he was awakened by pounding noises from behind his headboard. He was so scared that he actually took his bat with him to bed for protection and he was only able to sleep about two hours he said during his three nights stay. Carlos Gomez, former Brewer now on the Tampa Bay Rays, also experienced something paranormal. A day before a game, he heard disembodied voices and his ipod switched on by itself. It began vibrating wildly and just fell down. When he picked, he picked up the Ipod to look at it, to try to figure out what's wrong. So he puts it back down on the table and it started doing the same thing again. I love Carlos Gomez. Oh God, he's so cool. Brendan Ryan said in 2009 of his experience, "it was like a moving light that kind of passed through the room and the room got a bit chillier." The Brewers' manager, Craig Counsell, said two years ago that he heard former Pirates infielder Pedro Alvarez had experienced some 'weirdness' at the hotel and that matches up with a story told that year by Pirates manager Clint Hurdle, who didn't name names but said one of his players became spooked because the TV in his room turned on a couple of times throughout the night. Ji-Man Choi, who's currently on the Tampa Bay Rays and playing with Carlos Gomez which is awesome, had a spirit appear in his bed in 2016. Carlos Martinez of the Cardinals had a run in with a ghost in mid 2018, too. This one made a lot more news because I think we're more down to talk about this shit now it seems like. Um, so what he said was after he saw an apparition in his room, he couldn't sleep alone. And he even took to instagram to share his experience, which is probably part of why this blew up. Um, so he has actually like an instagram video and I'll link to that in the show notes. You can take a look at it because it's amazing. Colby Lewis apparently saw a 'skeletal apparition' move across this hotel room around 1:30 AM. It freaked him out so much that he talked with the team's chaplain as soon as possible. And then missed a press appearance the next day because he was too freaked out just trying to deal with it. Um, one anonymous manager reported he had to calm down a player in the middle of the night to convince him that ghosts don't exist. While many players have fear over the hotel, there are actually a bunch that are like, "Yeah, bring it on!" Rockies pitcher Jon Gray is one of those types of people. He's our peeps, um, and he actually conducted a paranormal investigation where the times he was in town, which is really cool and I want to hang out with that dude. Seriously, that's the way to do it. You just got to embrace it. If you find nothing, then like, you can calm yourself down and be like, 'hey, it's fine. No portly gents in my room.' Portly gent. Um, some of the other things that people see or experience are phantom footsteps, both apparently of the human and puppy variety, floating orbs, phantom voices, electrical anomalies, object manipulations and apparitions of portly gents and apparently also not poorly gents. Uh, so this is kind of a quick one because there's not really anything super scary about the Pfister. It just haunted as fuck. Um, and I'll put pictures of the outside. You can tell me if you agree with me or not, that they are two parts and do not look seamlessly integrated whatsoever. Yeah. I don't know. I really love downtown Milwaukee. In the last couple of years, It's seen a really nice resurgence and um, you know, good restaurants and good entertainment. I think one of the tricky things though is so much of that resurgence has come because of gentrification and that's essentially when white people move in and start taking over neighborhoods. So, if you've ever seen a Whole Foods go up in a place that was "not a good neighborhood" um, and then like that neighborhood starts prospering and hipsters move in? That's gentrification. Um, and Oh God, it happened so much here between Milwaukee and Madison and even some of the other larger cities in the state. Um, it's actually happening right now over on the east side of Madison where there's a number of buildings being put up - like new concert venues and new, like, luxury apartment buildings that then nobody can afford. And I think that's part of why you see it almost always tends to be like white hipster kids move and because they have money, or somehow at least enough money to, to live there because it's convenient and they can walk across the street to get groceries and whatever. I don't know. Um, it's, it's frustrating to me because there should be ways we should be looking at ways to, you know, reignite parts of our cities without gentrifying and without essentially resorting to racist white supremacist tactics to get there. Um, come for the knowledge about historical fun, creepy shit in Wisconsin, stay for the civics and justice lessons. Um, if you're interested in learning more about gentrification, I will include a couple of notes here, a couple of links in the show notes for you to do so. I hope you enjoyed the show. Uh, I think next I'm going to do a cryptid, the Hodag from Rhinelander. Yes. Rhinelander is a city, it's not like the Highlander, I promise. And I've kind of got a basically out of some of the things I want to cover soon. Um, I think after that I'll probably do a crime - like cover or crime, not commit a crime, um, because I wouldn't advertise that on any sort of media that I was going to commit a crime. The only crime I've done lately is I just ate Taco Bell before recording a podcast, which doesn't sound like a smart idea, does it? If you heard tummy gurgling was me, it's not you, it's fine.
