Podcasts about street market

Hope you're thirsty! On this week's edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, where we're talking local BEER... local Beer with owner/operator John Lee of New Province Brewing Company, but first?!?! FOOD NEWS!!! Chef Rafael Rios has a grand re-opening at Yeyo's at the 8th Street Market. We'll hear from him. Akira Sushi and Hibachi opens in east Fayetteville. Owner Andreas Tan tells us what it was like leading up to getting the doors open. BBQ King in Bentonville has closed. The Honey Bean Ice Cream Company food trailer has moved! It's all about honey, bees and beer Sunday at Orthodox Brewery. Café Lavande is officially open in Fayetteville. A new Poke Bowl and Sushi place will be opening in west Fayetteville. USip is setting up near UA, and a former NFL quarterback is one of the owners. New Province Brewery opened in Rogers in 2016 and was founded by Derek and Megan McEnroe. In 2022, the brewery was acquired by John Lee and a few partners. Before New Province, Lee owned and operated Rebel Kettle Brewing Company in Little Rock and built it from the ground up. He took a shining to brewing at a young age thanks to his first taste of a craft beer, and it's one that helped start the movement nationally- we'll tell you which one. How did he learn to brew beer? He didn't intern anywhere. He didn't work at any breweries before opening his own. He'll tell you how he learned. And the lead up to opening that brewery? He tells us what he DIDN'T know and what his first day was like opening Rebel Kettle. After 4 years, he got out of the beer business and went back to his professional roots, which benefitted him greatly. You'll hear the story. Finally, John bought New Province in 2022 and quickly looked to see what he had with an eye on expansion. He'll get specific on some of their beers and some that are coming down the pike. It's John Lee of New Province, next, right here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas!

In this week's edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, we're at BV65 talking to Executive Chef Scott Redington, but before we get to Scott?!?! Food News!! Brightwater & Bentonville hosted the World Food Championships. You'll hear from the winner and others. Core Brewing is re-opening their tasting room today. Crisis Brewing is at a crisis point for room. Hear their expansion plans. You can help the Prelude Breakfast Bar Spring Kitchen Company opened over the weekend The Larder is open at The Ledger Homegrown at the 8th Street Market has announced a grand opening date Onyx has opened 2 new coffee shops at the Walmart campus, and one is open to the public! BV65 Executive Chef Scott Redington got into the food business as a suggestion from a family member. He started cooking on the line at a restaurant in his hometown of Salt Lake City. He had a boss tell him once that he wasn't going to make it in this business... Good thing he's stubborn because that's why here in Northwest Arkansas all these years later. He's been up and down the western half of the US, but has been in Bella Vista now for a while as the Executive Chef for the restaurants under the Bella Vista POA, who's newest property is the BBQ restaurant known as BV65.. He's newer to BBQ, but his pitmaster Flavio Valverde isn't, and they've come up with a delicious menu (especially those smoked pork belly tacos). Listen and watch wherever you get your podcasts!

"As the primary sound from the original field recording, I chose to loop a section featuring what sounds like an older woman talking and laughing. To me, she seems like someone who has been to the market many times—perhaps even works there. Her laugh carries an element of mystery and wisdom. By looping this moment, I wanted to express how, although time passes and this recording captures just a moment from a single day, the market itself—hopefully—remains, as it has for many years. "I also included a section featuring a young child, perhaps in a pram, playing with a squeaky toy. Birds can be heard, along with a wonderfully cheerful greeting from a vibrant young woman—"¡Hola, cómo estás?"—spoken in a way that could only bring a smile to your face. "At 3:29 in the original 7-minute-plus field recording, there is a sound after the woman's laughter that resembles the notes of a flute. This moment inspired the flute riff I played. The flute is an important traditional instrument in Peruvian music, so I though it a good fit to complement the atmosphere of the market, the birds, and the market-goers. I explored scales commonly used in Peruvian flute music and settled on A Lydian mode. The other sounds momentarily 'disappear' for a few bars to make way for this message from the flute. Another section from the original field recording, featuring a young child, is looped repeatedly with the addition of plugin effects. "I also added a layer of electromagnetic smog—something ever-present in our world, yet inaudible to human ears. It contributes to the hustle and bustle of the market, introducing a chaotic energy that contrasts with the more familiar human and animal sounds. It represents both the uncertain future of traditional markets and our own uncertainty as a species on this planet. While its electronic, technotronic vibe contrasts with the organic sounds, it also enhances the atmosphere of the piece, helping to introduce and transition between different elements. "The drums are samples from an Eric Harland Yurt Rock pack, which I arranged on the MPC One. They serve as the backbone of the piece. I wanted a rhythm that felt a little freeform and jazzy—something that could stand on its own rather than a rigid, structured beat. The piece actually works well without drums, but I believe it is stronger with them. I then added other elements, including two synth pads, an 808 sub, and mixed everything in Reaper DAW. "I wanted to keep the piece quite short—like a bird flying over the market, catching a fleeting glimpse of its life without staying too long. It's not about fully experiencing the market but about catching a brief impression of its atmosphere, then transforming that into something new while still retaining its original essence."

This episode was birthed from a discussion I have with some homies, Larry and Lester. They operate a plant based eatery at the 2nd Street Market in Dayton, Ohio. I hang out there on Saturdays and we have the best debates and discussions. While talking about Captain America: A Brave New World, Lester made a few comments. Larry jumped in and I thought the topic, how Black men are neutered in Hollywood especially in super hero movies, would be a good podcast topic. There are mad SPOILERS in here, so if you haven't see the new Captain America, read some comic book runs about Captain America (Sam Wilson), the character Rage, and other IP's, you might want to wait. It will be dope.

On this week's edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, we celebrate one year! 52 weeks of podcasts down, thousands to go! We're at The Hive in the 21C Hotel talking with the super-energetic Executive Chef, Micah Klasky. What a great interview... but first? Food News!! It's an unusually busy week of food news, both good news and bad... Casa Magnolia opened last Friday in downtown Springdale. We'll hear from Chef Rafael Rios Speaking of Chef Rios, Yeyo's at the 8th Street Market is closed temporarily, we'll tell you why. Former Fayetteville Food Truck, Dot's Nashville Hot Chicken is now in a brick and mortar Now for the not-so-great news. Con Pilas Coffee House in Springdale officially shut their doors this past weekend, as did Doomsday Coffee in Siloam, and The Fat Chef at Prairie Creek. Micah Klasky is from the Dallas-area, but spent his formative years growing up in Jonesboro... From a very young age, one of the tv shows he grew up watching was the greatness of Justin Wilson. If you've never heard of Justin Wilson, just look him up on YouTube. He was an exceptional Cajun cook and could absolutely spin a yarn. You'll see what I mean... he was the best. So, Micah was destined to cook, obviously. He started making his way through the business because of a mentor that he connected with. It included a seasonal work-trip to the east coast. Micah will tell you that story. He'll also talk about some of the best advice he's gotten, and it's the same advice that I've given before when talking to college kids. What got him from Little Rock to Bentonville in 2014? He'll tell us. Also, he's super-passionate about No Kid Hungry. He talks about 2 fundraisers he's doing for them, including a chef's dinner with some insanely talented chefs, and there will be some Michelin Stars represented at that dinner. Please listen or watch wherever you get your podcasts.

We meet artist Michelle Angela Ortiz. Michelle's mural in honor of LGBTQ+ and worker's rights icon Gloria Casarez in Philadelphia's Gayborhood was destroyed by developers. We hear the story of Michelle's efforts to create a new memorial to Casarez and we tour South Philly's 9th Street Market in September of 2024 to learn about her “Our Market” project.

We're back with Season 2 of Art Outside, a podcast from WHYY about the art of our public spaces and the people who create it. We're taking you around Philly to learn about all kinds of art outside. From commissioned works in Love Park and the 9th Street Market. To more ephemeral works like wheatpasting on a shuttered UArts building. As multiple art institutions around the city close, the state of Philly's famed arts world feels particularly fragile. On this season of Art Outside we're thinking about where Philly goes from here as we explore this dynamic world.

It's been a little after a year since the Broad Street Market in Harrisburg caught on fire. Half of the building was destroyed and the other half sustained huge damage.  On the half of the building that was destroyed, the roof was gone and only the walls remained standing. Recently, a big tent was added to help vendors, as the Broad Street Market Alliance works to rebuild the Broad Street Market. Eric Hagarty is the Chair of the Board of Directors for the Broad Street Market Alliance. Hagarty joined The Spark to speak with host Asia Tabb on the podcast for recovery efforts.  Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So what is it that you are truly doing with your business, and how is it seen by the community? Is it a sustainable business?

SummaryOn this episode of The Bentonville Beacon, host James Bell chats with Sandi Macklom, the Founder and Owner of Sandi Sue's Gluten Free Bakery. This shop caters to the Northwest Arkansas community with gluten-free breads, pies, cakes and custom orders. After adopting a gluten-free lifestyle, Sandi found it challenging to discover tasty gluten-free alternatives. Being an avid baker, she decided to rectify this gap by opening Sandi Sue's Gluten Free Bakery. Throughout the episode, James and Sandi delve into the bakery's mission, Sandi's experiences at Brightwater (Center for the Study of Food) and the advantages of founding her bakery in Bentonville. Thanks for tuning in!Show Notes(0:59) Introduction to Sandi Macklom(3:23) Founding Sandi Sue's Gluten Free Bakery(6:47) About Brightwater: A Center for the Study of Food(8:43) Why Sandi Sue's Gluten Free Bakery Started at the 8th Street Market(10:45) Sandi Sue's New 14th Street Location(12:11) How Bentonville's Culture Has Helped Sandi Sue's(15:30) Bentonville's Exciting Future(18:09) #BecauseBentonville Story(22:51) Advice for People Thinking About Starting a Business(32:01) Closing Question‍LinksJames Bell Bentonville Economic Development Sandi MacklomSandi Sue's Gluten Free BakeryQuotes“8th Street provided us a great opportunity for proof of concept. It essentially limited financial risk on our part because we self funded…albeit it was only a hundred feet, we could get our product to a newer and larger segment of the community and make sure that what we thought was good is what everybody else thought was good.” - Sandi Macklom, (8:43)“The thing that Northwest Arkansas, Bentonville and Rogers specifically, have is the breadth of things to do. It feels like a larger town with everything going on and all the social events, but you still have the regulars. I still recognize my people when they come in…you don't really get that in larger cities, and that's what brought me back [to Bentonville].” - Sandi Maklom, (12:32)There were two things I was cognizant of when I was starting my business: One, the financial side because you can't build a sustainable business if your finances aren't in order…and the other harder thing, finding a marketing team that you trust…because you can have the best thing in the world, but if people don't know you're out there and how to find you, it doesn't matter.” - Sandi Macklom, (23:31)“Right now, a gluten-free diet is the only treatment for celiac disease. That's why it's such a passion of mine that people can come to my bakery and eat everything on the menu…being able to provide good food for people who unfortunately don't usually get it, we're very privileged and humbled and lucky to be able to do that for our community.” - Sandi Macklom, (32:15)

In this episode, I chat with Two Friends Books owners Monica Diodati and Rachel Stuckey-Slaton about Bentonville, Arkansas, local authors, books they love, and what they learned about bookselling during the pandemic.After spending too much time lamenting the lack of an independent bookstore in Bentonville, friends Monica Diodati and Rachel Stuckey-Slaton resolved to launch their own. In 2018, their popup bookshop appeared at local coffee shops in the area until they moved into their very own brick and mortar shop at 8th Street Market in Downtown Bentonville. Monica and Rachel curate a selection of books from authors and publishers they love passing on to their customers.

HB 583, a bill concerning multiple K-12 education laws in Ohio, has been approved by the state legislature and is set to arrive on Governor DeWine's desk soon. The bill contains changes to laws concerning students receiving EdChoice private school scholarships and parents of dyslexic students. It also extends districts' ability to hire substitute teachers with only a high school diploma by another two years. The bill expands EdChoice to include some families whose children previously received state funding for private education or whose siblings received such funding. HB 583 has drawn criticism from the Ohio Education Association, who are opposed to the idea of forcing taxpayers to pay to send children to mostly religious private schools which tend to under-perform compared to their public school counterparts. HB 583 also loosens requirements for charter school sponsors in Ohio, a move that has earned them some criticism from both charter school critics and advocates. Both groups raise issue with the lowered accountability this will allow school sponsors to get away with in the state. The bill also pushes back the start of dyslexia screening requirements by one year. Electric company AES Ohio, formerly Dayton Power and Light, is currently seeking approval from the state to disconnect customers remotely for non-payment. Duke Energy Ohio and AEP are already exempt from the in-person notification that AES is currently required to give before shutting off service. A spokesperson for the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio said Tuesday that there is no timeline as yet for when we can expect to see a ruling on this case. The move has drawn criticism from the Office of the Ohio Consumers' Council, Advocates for Basic Legal Equality, and the Ohio Poverty Law Center. These groups raise concerns over the language AES uses regarding “vulnerable customers;” AES has proposed “limiting” the number of such customers who would be subject to remote disconnection, which the OCC argues is insufficient. All vulnerable customers, such as people with disabilities or the elderly, should be exempt from the remote disconnection process, they argued in their recent filing. PUCO staff have also recommended against the proposal, saying it does not sufficiently communicate the change in disconnection practices to customers. Currently AES gives customers two notices before disconnection in the winter months but only one notice in the summer, which may be particularly troubling. Tuesday, June 14, was the hottest day Dayton has seen in nearly ten years. Temperatures soared to a peak of 95 degrees at the Dayton International Airport, with a heat index of 107 and humidity in the 70s. Closer to the city center, temperatures rose even one or two degrees higher due to the urban environment. This coming at the same time as power outages across Ohio has put many Daytonians in a precarious position, with National Weather Service meteorologist John franks calling the heat “oppressive.” Nighttime lows stayed above 70 degrees, depriving residents of what would typically be a welcome respite from the daytime heat. Cooling centers have opened across the Dayton metro area for those affected. There are locations in Dayton, Oakwood, Riverside, Moraine, West Carrolton, Washington Twp., and Warren County. As Dayton and Montgomery County Public Health tells us, the three most important things are to stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay informed. Visit www.phdmc.org/extreme-heat for more information. A fire broke out Tuesday on the roof of the Mendelson Liquidation Outlet building downtown, producing large clouds of black smoke that were spotted around 11:30 a.m. The building is currently undergoing major renovations to be converted into apartments, offices, and retail space. Dayton fire chief Jeff Lykins reported that the blaze likely started when construction crews cut into or worked on an object with rubber or fuel inside. The fire was small and quickly extinguished, but produced the aforementioned smoke that chief Lykins said made the fire look “more impressive than it actually was.” The damage was contained to roofing and the damaged vessel, and nobody was injured.

Governor Mike Dewine on Monday announced that he has signed HB 99 into law, allowing teachers and other school personnel to carry firearms in classrooms. The bill goes into effect 90 days after being signed. This has been met with significant pushback from Ohio Democrats including former Dayton mayor Nan Whaley, who is also the Democratic nominee running against DeWine for the office of governor of Ohio. Governor DeWine admitted on Monday in his press release that there is no data to support the idea that arming teachers will reduce school shooting incidents, but said he has been told “anecdotally” that it will work. HB 99 also includes $6 million for school safety centers across Ohio, a continuation of the governor's previous efforts to expand behavioral health care across the state. The decision to arm teachers was influenced by the impracticality of schools training and arming hired school security personnel according to the state's current standards, which requires such personnel to have 700 hours or 20 years of law enforcement experience. In contrast, under HB 99, teachers will require only “up to” 24 hours of firearm training before being permitted to carry weapons in the classroom. Schools across the state have responded in various ways to the announcement; some saying they will arm teachers, some saying they won't, and many offering no comment at this time. School districts are not required to arm teachers under HB 99, and those that do are allowed to demand stricter requirements than those set forth by the state government. On the subject of Mike DeWine's repeated loosening of Ohio gun laws, HB 215 went into effect as well on Monday, allowing concealed carry of handguns without a license in the state of Ohio. Any Ohio resident otherwise allowed to carry a gun will not be required to seek a concealed carry license, and Ohioans with existing licenses will not be required to renew them. With this, Dayton Police has announced changes to the way officers will interact with the public, particularly during traffic stops. Officers will be encouraged to regularly ask motorists and residents if they are carrying a firearm, as civilians are now not required to disclose this information to police. Dayton Police Chief Kamran Afzal also encourages the public to volunteer this information to officers during stops and other encounters with law enforcement. The policy of asking civilians to disclose the possession of firearms is not new among certain departments, but it will now be more widely practiced, according to Chief Afzal. He also encourages gun owners to still opt into the firearm training that comes with a concealed carry license, which HB 215 waives. This Saturday, June 18, there will be a free health fair hosted at New City Church from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Services provided will include COVID vaccines, a1c testing, vision screenings, various weight loss resources, oral health resources, and more.  Dayton is currently developing its first Active Transportation Plan; a program which will seek to identify and prioritize projects to improve Dayton's bicycle and pedestrian networks. The plan will also be an essential part of securing infrastructure funding for such projects. Community members are asked and encouraged to be a part of the planning process throughout the month of July, with various outreach programs and online surveys planned. Visit walkbike.info/Dayton for more information. The Miami Valley Alzheimer's Association Chapter has announced the dates for its five Walks to End Alzheimer's, the largest event to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer's in the world.

For more info on specific locations and to register as a team or individual, go to alz.org/walk. After five years, the 416 Diner on East Fifth Street has closed its doors. Owner Guy Fragmin announced the decision last Thursday, saying “[they] hope to continue the tradition of great food and service in the near future.” Fans of the 416 on Facebook have expressed their words of sadness, support, and well wishes for the Diner's staff. The Five Rivers MetroParks are ready to restart a variety of projects that were put on hold by the COVID-19 pandemic. Among these are the Taylorsville MetroPark and Sugarcreek MetroPark, which the agency received public feedback on at the end of last year. Another major project going forward soon will be a park-over-the-river between the Third Street Bridge and Wolf Creek Bridge, announced in March of this year. According to MetroParks spokesperson Carrie Scarff, the park and footbridge will seek to unite East and West Dayton, as well as showcase the Great Miami River. The project has been named, appropriately, Unity Bridge. Five Rivers MetroParks also announced plans to make improvements to Sunrise Park and construct bikeways linking West Third Street to the riverfront below the Dayton Art Institute at Monument Avenue.    Angie's Firehouse Tavern on Watervliet Avenue is up for sale after being revived by retired fire captain Patrick Reed in 2010. The restaurant first opened in 1938 as the Hungarian restaurant Angi's (pronounced AHN-ji's), but came to be known as Angie's among locals who were unsure how to pronounce the name. Quickly gaining a reputation for delicious cabbage rolls and other home-cooked Hungarian meals, Angi's became a fixture of the community for decades. Patrick Reed and his family and friends bought the vacant Angi's in 2010 to keep the spot they loved alive. Now he's looking for new ownership with creative ideas to continue their work so he can relax after 12 years of hard work. He also cites frustration with staffing shortages and rising production costs as factors in his decision. Angie's is considered a historic Dayton landmark and is listed for sale at $475,000, including the building, equipment, recipes, and decorations within. And, of course, a 1970 Porsche Firetruck that can be used for advertising. Lynda Suda, market manager of 2nd Street Market, announced that the market has reached 100% indoor capacity. All 44 spaces have been filled by various growers, producers, bakers, artisans, and restaurants. There are spots still available for weekend-only vendors, however. Suda is always looking for passionate entrepreneurs to bring their craft to the community through 2nd Street Market. Many weekend-only vendors at the market are first-time business owners, and 2nd Street helps educate them on what licenses they'll need and how they can get them. Weekend-only vendors can apply by filling out an application and meeting with market organizers, but the process for indoor permanent vendors is both more involved and more competitive. The market has also become more diverse in the past five years, with more minority vendors filling weekend and permanent spots. To learn more about the market and see the various weekend events they hold, visit metroparks.org/places-to-go/2nd-street-market. It is now estimated that Dayton Public Schools will spend $62 million more than they have available in the next two school years and will run out of general fund money in 2024-25. While labor costs are expected to rise significantly, the bigger problem starts in September 2024 when the district will have to have spent its remaining $140 million in federal COVID-19 relief money. This money has been used for many projects in the Dayton Public School system, and the school board doesn't plan to end these projects when the federal relief money that was used to start them runs out. This leaves the district with a projected $73 million deficit in 2024-25. The Board of Education is looking to approve a $230 million general budget for the next school year, which is expected to be temporary until late September. They've also said they're not planning any staff cuts, and are in fact planning to hire for several positions. DPS Superintendent Elizabeth Lolli is meeting with the district's department heads to discuss what projects will be delayed and ensure that nothing is done that will negatively impact instruction or staffing numbers. Immigration attorney and former Dayton Public Schools president Mohamed al-Hamdani was selected as the chairman of the Montgomery County Democratic Party last Thursday. Al-Hamdani is the first Muslim to lead a county Democratic party in Ohio, replacing Mark Owens, who served as chairman for 15 years before his recent retirement. He is a Dayton Public Schools and Wright State University graduate, and earned his law degree from University of Dayton after working as a cultural advisor for the Department of Defense during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Like most politically-savvy people, al-Hamdani has his sights set on this year's elections, hoping to get Democrats into leadership positions at the local, state, and federal levels. Montgomery County has approved a new $6 million Environmental Services Lab in Downtown Dayton. The new lab will make sure drinking water and discharged wastewater are compliant with state regulations for over 80,000 homes in the county. The current lab in Moraine has been in place for decades and is in need of replacement as the county seeks to update aging infrastructure. The new lab will be state of the art and is being paid for by the American Rescue Plan, from which the county received $103 million. On Saturday, June 18, Hospice of Dayton will be holding a butterfly release to remember and honor loved ones lost in Dayton. The event will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Hospice location on Wilmington Avenue. You can register for a $15 donation to have a butterfly released in a loved one's name; you can register online at hospiceofdayton.org, or you can call Marsha Bernard at 937-671-3119 for more information. The Good Samaritan Hospital site in northwest Dayton has a new facility opening, exciting partners with the project. The closing of the hospital was upsetting to many Dayton residents, who understandably believed it would have a negative impact on the community's health and well-being. The new facility is planned to be two stories, half of which will be occupied by the Dayton YMCA, including a pool, fitness center, and gym. Premier Health, which is putting forward about $15 million to fund the project, will occupy about a quarter of the facility. The project sought community feedback to learn what Daytonians wanted to see on the former hospital campus, which will also include an urgent care clinic, physicians' offices, and medical imaging services. Goodwill Easterseals will also have an office in the space to run their economic self-sufficiency and employment program. Construction is expected to begin this Fall and take about 14 months. Spokespersons with the project have said there will be more information in the coming weeks. Among the producers for the now Tony Award-winning “A Strange Loop” are Wright State University graduate Tony Monda and West Milton-born Jimmy Wilson. The show took home Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical at the 75th annual Tony Awards on Sunday. It was Wilson's first Broadway production as an associate producer with Barbara Whitman Productions. This is Monda's third Tony, previously having been involved in Hadestown, which took Best Musical in 2019, and The Inheritance, which won Best Play at last year's awards. In 2020, he also received the Graduate of the Last Decade Award from the Wright State Alumni Association. Wilson will be moving on to produce “Good Night, Oscar” for Broadway and Monda will be returning to Dayton to work with the Human Race Theater Company, where he interned in college.

Please be sure to leave a review and share this episode with a friend!   Groups and organizations mentioned in this episode include: Ohio Statehouse Greater Dayton RTA Dayton Police City of Dayton On Purpose Academy and Mentoring Center Miami Valley Child Development Centers Dayton Daily News Montgomery County Democratic Party Vegan It IZ Eats RI International Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug, and Mental Health Services Dayton Ale Trail Yellow Cab Tavern Dayton Jewish Film Festival Front Street Galleries Dayton Society of Artists Dayton Pride Festival Blind Bob's Levitt Pavilion Dayton Playhouse PFLAG Dayton Rubi Girls The Brightside Shadyside Clemmer Bribing Senators Yardboss St. Helen Spring Festival The New Respects Neil deGrasse Tyson Dayton Live Dayton Jazz Festival Five Rivers MetroParks   Transcript:   Hello and welcome to the Discover Dayton podcast, the show that's all about the Gem City's past, present, and future. I'm your host, Arch Grieve, and today Friday, which means it's time for your weekly news roundup, where I read the news so you don't have to. A lot happened recently, including the RTA announcing free weekend summer rides, Gettysburg Avenue being put on a “road diet,” and more. And as always there's a lot going on this weekend and beyond, including Pride Month celebrations, so stay tuned for the news in just a moment.    And now for last week's news in Dayton:   Dayton City Commissioners spoke out recently against Mike Dewine and the Ohio Statehouse for legislation that legislators passed recently and that is now awaiting Governor Dewine's signature. House Bill 99 is a bill that would allow school teachers to be armed in school settings with as little as 24 hours of training. The commissioners also spoke out against past legislation that Mike Dewine has already signed into law, including a “stand your ground” law and legislation that enabled people to conceal carry without a permit. The commissioners pointed out that in the wake of the tragic Oregon District shootings three years ago, the governor promised to pass common-sense gun laws, which never materialized.    Well if you're looking to save some money on gas, then you might want to hear about this next story. The Greater Dayton RTA is going to be offering free rides on weekends over the summer starting tomorrow, June 4th, and going through September 4th. The RTA is offering free rides on both its fixed-route buses and para-transit vehicles, and RTA officials say they hope that the cost of providing the free weekend rides will be offset by increased ridership, particularly as gas prices continue to increase. For more information, visit iriderta.org.   If you remember last week I let you know about the curfew sweep that police would be doing last weekend. Well, the numbers are in and the police caught zero juveniles breaking curfew during last Friday's sweep, which police are touting as a success. The sweep primarily took place downtown but also included parks where juveniles are regularly observed congregating in.    Well, the City of Dayton will be putting Gettysburg Avenue on a, quote, “diet,” to help reduce what city leaders call “automobile circus acts” and “hooning,” which is apparently a word used to describe reckless vehicle operation maneuvers like drifting and burnouts and the like. The diet consists of shrinking the roadway and decreasing the number of traffic lanes, which city leaders say is larger than it needs to be based on Dayton's current population. The changes would be reminiscent of what the city did to the area of Brown St. near UD and the city plans to take action immediately while simultaneously seeking funding for more long-term fixes. The city argues that the changes are needed because, since 2015, a 3.5-mile stretch of Gettysburg has been the location of over 1400 accidents, 59 serious injuries, and 10 fatalities, including a recent one that killed four people. The city is going to be seeking public input before making any decisions on permanent changes and plans to apply for a state infrastructure bank loan to help fund the project.    The City of Dayton is planning to use some of its American Plan Rescue Act funds, $150,000 to be exact, to help fund a pre-school on wheels program. The program, known as Pop Up Preschool, seeks to provide preschool options for areas of the city that are preschool deserts. Kimberly Jarvis, director of the On Purpose Academy and Mentoring Center, which runs the Pop Up Preschool program, says she has the teachers that will be needed for the program but needs help with funding to convert RVs into mobile classrooms, which would serve between 9-12 students at a time and travel to two locations over the course of the school day. To learn more about the program, visit www.opamc.net/pup.   In other childcare-related news, the City of Dayton is spending over half a million dollars to help consolidate four childcare centers in East Dayton under one roof. The $11 million building is being constructed on the site of the former Lincoln School in the Twin Towers neighborhood by Miami Valley Child Development Centers and will be known as the Lincoln Hill Child and Family Center. The school will serve 250 students, at least 90% of whom meet federal poverty guidelines. The MVCDC received the funds through moneys that the city got from a community development block grant and were awarded them through a competitive grant process. The new building will have 14 classrooms, office space, a community training space, and a full-service commercial kitchen.    Well now that the Ohio redistricting process mess continues to result in anti-democratic outcomes, with the Dayton Daily News reporting recently that the new district boundaries will mean that some incumbents will be running unopposed in spite of the fact that the partisan voter makeup of those districts has changed due to the fact that Ohio's filing deadline has not been extended or re-opened since candidates filed their petitions in February. Since then, the districts have changed greatly in some instances. For example, Riverside recently went from a Republican-leaning district to the one represented by Dayton's state representative, Willis Blackshear, Jr. Similarly, the district represented by former Montgomery County Sheriff Phil Plummer added Trotwood and other Democrat-leaning areas and now favors Democrats, but he will be running unopposed in the general as no Democrat filed in what used to be a Republican-leaning district. Secretary of State LaRose says there's nothing he can do and that any changes in filing deadlines are set by law and must be made by the Ohio Statehouse. However, candidates may still file as independents without party affiliation if they do so by 4pm on August 1st, the day before the rescheduled primary will take place. Montgomery County Democratic Party Chairman Mark Owens called the claim by Republicans that there isn't time to re-open the process, quote, “ridiculous,” and called for a 10-day window for candidates to file in the newly redrawn districts. You can find out about your district by visiting findmydistrict.ohiosos.gov.    Well if you're vegan, or just trying to reduce your meat consumption, you'll want to hear this news. There's a new vegan restaurant opening up at the 2nd Street Market called Vegan It IZ Eats, which is owned by Dayton native Rhea Adkins. It will have a rotating breakfast and lunch menu including things like jack fruit tacos, coconut bacon grilled cheese, chai french toast, and more. It will also carry meal prep options, granola, seasoning blends, nut milks, dressings, sauces, and a cookbook. You can visit veganitizeats.com for more information.    A new crisis center for those experiencing mental health or substance abuse crises is going to be opening up in the Carillon neighborhood here in Dayton later this year if all goes to plan. The Crisis Now Receiving Center, which is a project of RI International and the Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug, and Mental Health Services (or ADAMHS), will open at Elizabeth Place. Individuals in crisis can call Montgomery County at 833-580-2255 to receive support.    And finally, if you're like me and enjoy a good local craft beer, you'll want to check out my friend Alexis Larsen's article in the Dayton Daily News from this past Sunday's paper, which talks about the Dayton Ale Trail. There are 31 local breweries in and around Dayton that participate in the trail, and all you need to do to start is visit one of them and pick up your Dayton Ale Trail passport, which you can collect stamps in by visiting each of the breweries on the list and purchasing a beer. Dayton's breweries are on the list, as well as surrounding ones like Eudora, Lucky Star, and many more. Once you've visited all of the other 30 breweries, you can collect your final beer at the Yellow Cab Tavern in Dayton, where you'll be awarded a 16 oz. stainless steel pint glass. I've never made it to all of them in one year, but I think I'll make that a goal this year, so I hope you'll join me and maybe I'll see you around at one of them this summer.    That's it for last week's news, and now here's what's going on in Dayton this weekend and beyond:   The Dayton Jewish Film Festival kicked off yesterday, June 2nd, at the Dayton Art Institute with a screening of “That Orchestra With the Broken Instruments.” The remaining films, however, will be screened at The Neon movie theater downtown, with films running now through June 26th.

Today's Friday the 13th, 2022, and it's time for your weekly News Roundup episode, where I read the news so you don't have to. A lot happened last week and there's a lot coming up in terms of local events and things to do that you won't want to miss, including things going on tonight, so don't wait to listen! As always, you can find the show notes for this episode on my website at discoverdaytonpodcast.com.    Organizations mentioned in this episode include: Ohio Statehouse Central State University Sinclair Community College City of Dayton Ghostlight Coffee 2nd Street Market Gulzar's Indian Cuisine AES Five Rivers Health Centers Dayton Peace Prize Dayton Council on World Affairs Hall Hunger Initiative Heart Mercantile Mission of Mary's CSA Dayton Women's Rights Alliance Top of the Market Liftoff Entertainment Humane Society of Greater Dayton Blind Bob's  Shiloh Farmer's Market NCCJ Dayton Beer Company Liederkranz-Turner German Club Salar Wiley's Five Rivers MetroParks The Neon Yellow Cab Tavern TheatreLab Dayton PNC Arts Annex   Show Transcript:   Hello and welcome to the Discover Dayton podcast, the show that's all about the Gem City's past, present, and future. I'm Arch Grieve and I'm your host, and today's episode is the weekly news roundup for Friday the 13th of May 2022, so if you're superstitious be careful today. There's a lot that happened last week though, including an update to Ohio's redistricting process, good news for Dayton residents on their electric bills, and the opening of some new places to eat downtown, as well as lots of stuff to do this weekend and beyond, so stay tuned!   And now for last week's news:   Well, the news about the Ohio congressional district maps isn't great, as towards the end of last week the Republican-dominated Ohio Redistricting Commission voted down a set of maps drawn up by the consultants that they hired, and then immediately voted to approve a set of maps that the Ohio Supreme Court has already declared unconstitutional. Protestors in attendance yelled “shame,” at the commission members, but their cries were ineffective in causing any type of change amongst the members because the Republican members of the commission have no shame. Secretary of State Frank LaRose, who is a commission member, explained his rationale for supporting the third set of maps by claiming that it would be the easiest set of maps for local boards of elections to use. At the end of the meeting, Democratic Minority House Leader Allison Russo read out a “minority report,” which laid the blame for the redistricting process mess at the feet of her Republican counterparts.    Also happening at the state level right now is discussion around a bill that would put an end to local municipalities' abilities to manage short-term rentals, such as Airbnbs. House Bill 563 is currently being debated at the Ohio Statehouse, with opponents of the bill saying that it would take away home rule from cities and curtail their ability to self-govern, so now is your time to contact your local representative or senator if you have an opinion about it.    Central State University's Dayton Campus is getting a cash infusion from the U.S. Department of Commerce, which is awarding the HBCU $3.6 million in ARPA funds to quote, “tackle workplace shortages,” which have been made worse by the pandemic. Much of the money will go towards funding workshops that are geared towards educating students about advanced materials, advanced manufacturing, IT, and advanced data management. Central State is also putting in an additional nearly $90K towards its Workforce Training and Business Development Center, which will specialize in employment-related training. As a result of the expansion, Central State is expecting a 50% increase in enrollment this fall and expects to go from 2,000 students to 3,000 who are physically attending campus classes, and from 4,000 to 7,000 students attending online.    Just for full transparency for this next story, I need to acknowledge that I am a Sinclair employee, but Sinclair has had some good news recently in that it graduated a record number of students at last week's graduation ceremony, with 8,919 students being awarded degrees or certificates, or a 14% increase over last year. Of those, a record number were also black men, 1,548 students to be exact, as well as a record number of minority students at just over 3,000.    There's good news for Dayton residents recently from the city, which is that they recently announced that residents will be getting 100% renewable energy starting in June of this year which will be 30% cheaper than AES Ohio's standard service rate, which is the company that used to be DP&L. They also assured residents that Dayton will not be impacted by the recent rate hikes proposed by AES thanks to the new aggregation program. Savings are expected to average approximately $300 per Dayton customer over the 12-month period that the deal is in effect, for a total of $10 million combined for all residents in savings. If you wish to participate in the program, you don't have to do anything, but if you wish to opt-out then letters are being sent out soon.    There's good news for Ghostlight Coffee fans, which is that you can now find them on weekends at the 2nd Street Market. They're opening a bagel bakery there called DOUGH. Ghostlight owner, Shane Anderson, told the Dayton Daily News that he always wanted to have a location in the market, but that there was already a coffee shop there. However, they learned recently that there was an opening for a sandwich shop, so they put forward the concept of a bagel soup and sandwich shop, and now they're in the soft opening phase of its existence. They plan to release more items moving forward, but you can also find them at their original location on Wayne Ave. or over next to Old Scratch on Patterson Blvd. They'll also soon be coming to the Dayton Arcade.    In other news-related food, I'm sure many of you will be as excited as I am to learn that there's a new Indian restaurant in downtown Dayton now. The family-owned Gulzar's Indian Cuisine opened last Thursday at 217 N. Patterson, just across from the Dragon's stadium and next to Winans and Flyboys. Wife and husband Deepika and Jay Singh co-manage the restaurant together, and Jay's brother manages the family's other restaurant in Richmond, Indiana. The restaurant features authentic Indian cuisine, including my favorite, chicken tikka masala, but if you're looking for their most authentic dishes you can find those on the menu under Chef Specials. They also have a lunch buffet, which is $13.99. You can find their menu and learn more at gulzarsindiancuisine.com. I just had lunch there earlier this week and I definitely recommend it!   There's a new Five Rivers Health Centers campus in the Edgemont neighborhood of Dayton after they held its grand opening Wednesday of this week. The campus location will provide a number of different health services, including dental care, women's health, sports medicine, eye care, and primary care. After being founded just over ten years ago, Five Rivers Health Centers now has 9 locations geared towards providing health services to low-income residents. The new facility is now accepting patients, and you can learn more at fiverivershealthcenters.org.    Last week former Congressman and Ambassador, Tony Hall, received the Dayton Peace Prize, which is awarded jointly by the Dayton Council on World Affairs and the Dayton Peace Prize Selection Committee. Hall was a US Congressman from 1979 to 2002, after which he served as the US Ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture. He also started the Hall Hunger Initiative here in Dayton. Past recipients of the award include President Bill Clinton, Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.    Well if you're in the Oregon District looking for Heart Mercantile then you'll need to find them in their new location, which is on the other side of the street from their old one. They're now at 601 E. Fifth St. across from Trolley Stop in a space that's double the size of their old location. Also starting today, they are now open one hour later every day, with hours from 11:00am to 8:00pm now. Learn more at heartmercantile.com.   If you're in the market for sustainable, locally-grown produce, then you might want to check out Mission of Mary's CSA, or community-supported agriculture. Their CSA program runs from this month until November of this year, with pickups every Wednesday from 2:00-6:00pm. You can sign up to get vegetables weekly from them on their website at missionofmary.org.    And finally, before we get to the more fun events happening this weekend and beyond, there's also a Rally for Abortion Rights at Courthouse Square this Saturday, May 14th from 2:00-3:00pm. You can learn more about the event on the Dayton Women's Rights Alliance on Facebook or end40days on Instagram.    All right, and now for things to do in Dayton:   If you're looking for a drive-in movie experience but don't want to travel very far, you can go and see the Princess Bride tonight at Top of the Market Banquet Center, which is hosting a pop-up drive-in movie screening in conjunction with Liftoff Entertainment. The cost is $30-40 per vehicle and the lot opens at 7:30pm with the movie starting at 8:45pm. You can visit the show notes on my website for the link to purchase tickets, which is a long EventBrite link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wheels-and-reels-princess-bride-tickets-321481538937   If you're more in the mood for music tonight, you can head over to Blind Bob's for a show that starts at 9:00pm. Performing tonight will be Jon Snodgrass, DL Burdon, Joe Anderl, and Josh Goldman. The cover is $10.    Pet lovers who enjoy walking or running with their animals are in luck this weekend as the Furry Skurry 5K event is happening Saturday, May 14th, from 8:00am-noon. General Admission is a $40 registration fee. After you're done running (or if you don't want to run at all) there will also be a beverage tent with bloody marys, mimosas, wine, and beer, as well as a pancake breakfast and more. This fundraising event is put on by the Humane Society of Greater Dayton, and you can find tickets at hsdayton.org/events.    Also happening on Saturday is the 2022 opening day for the Shiloh Farmers Market, which takes place at 5300 Philadelphia Dr from 9:00am to 2:00pm. In addition to the veggies you can purchase, the Smokin' Barrels Food Truck will be there as well.    Another thing you can do Saturday is participate in the Pride Rocks! suicide prevention program, where you can join in rock painting, enjoy a free meal, participate in educational programming about mental health, and listen to LGBTQ+ musicians. The event is free to attend, and goes from 11:00am to 2:00pm at the Levitt Pavilion. The event is put on by the NCCJ, or the National Conference for Community and Justice of Greater Dayton.    And there's more happening tomorrow, including the Dayton Beer Company's 10th anniversary celebration, which goes from noon to 11:00pm Saturday, May 14th. The event promises to have fun for the whole family, including the little ones, with live entertainment, games, and more.

There's a competition to see who has the most tabs, although to be honest I couldn't find what you'll win, but it all goes towards a good cause.    Also happening Sunday is a SUNDAYton Tea dance, where you can go to the Bar and Bistro and participate in a tea dance hosted by Dayton drag queens.

Today is the weekly News Roundup episode for Friday, April 29, 2022. It's coming to you a day earlier than usual as I am experimenting with different release dates, although I think it might make more sense for episodes to come out on M/W/F, so I think I'll do that moving forward. There's a lot that happened and a lot planned for the upcoming weekend and next week, including things happening today, so you won't want to miss this episode! Be sure to visit www.discoverdaytonpodcast.com for show notes and transcripts of this episode.    Organizations mentioned in this episode include: Dayton Police Department Dayton Human Relations Council Setters US Senate Candidate Morgan Harper The University of Dayton The Greater West Dayton Incubator The Entrepreneurs Center PNC Bandila Studios The Dayton Society of Artists Pizza Bandit Yellow Cab Tavern JD Ice Cream Dayton Metro Library Ohio Statehouse The Contemporary Dayton Playhouse The Junior League of Dayton Zen Lounge Sushi Bar Barrel Work Distillery Toxic Brewery SICSA The Square is Where American Legion Post 668 Front Street Studios Ladies Rock Dayton Carillon Historical Park 2nd Street Market The Orphanage Derby Day Weiner Dog Race Mother of Eden Paul Laurence Dunbar House Dayton Art Institute Montgomery County Board of Elections     Hello and welcome to the Discover Dayton podcast, the show that's all about the Gem City's past, present, and future. I'm Arch Grieve and I'm your host, and today is the weekly News Roundup for Friday, April 29, 2022, where I read the news so you don't have to. You may have noticed that this is coming out on a Friday instead of a Saturday as it usually does, which I'm experimenting with, so let me know if you prefer one day over another. There's a lot of news to cover still, however, and lots of stuff happening in Dayton next week and beyond, so stay tuned.     All right here's your news for this past week:   Dayton police are warning about the dangers of drag racing in the wake of the crash seen round the world recently after a Springfield man wrecked his 2002 Dodge Viper on Patterson Boulevard earlier this month. The Springfield man was charged with drag racing and failing to maintain control, both misdemeanors. The police are warning that drag racing can cause damage to people and property and reminding drivers that it is not likely to be covered by their insurance if they wreck while drag racing. If you haven't yet seen the video, you can find it on my Facebook page at facebook.com/discoverdaytonpodcast.    In other Dayton police-related news, citizens who are unhappy with how they were treated by Dayton police may now appeal to a Community Appeals Board, which the city hopes will help keep police conduct cases out of court while allowing people to appeal findings from police investigations. Three appeals hearings have already been scheduled and more are likely to come in the near future. The commissioners did make one change to the proposed legislation before approving it, however, which says that a Community Appeals Board hearing will be paused if someone initiates a lawsuit in court at the same time. You can submit an appeal at daytonhrc.org/community-appeals-board.    Bond has been set at $1 million for a Dayton man who is accused of killing a security guard at Setters, a Dayton volleyball bar. The 36-year-old Anthony Fountain allegedly punched a 60-year-old security guard, who fell and struck his head on the concrete and later died at Miami Valley Hospital. Fountain's next hearing takes place on May 6.    US Senate Candidate Morgan Harper came to Dayton yesterday to speak to voters about her platform of healthcare for all, a federal minimum wage, abortion rights protections, and more. Candidate Harper was also a guest on this show earlier this week, so check out Wednesday's episode to learn more about her campaign.    The University of Dayton has announced the winners of its Flyer Pitch competition where entrepreneurs compete to earn a portion of over $150,000 in prizes to get their ideas off the ground. The contest is run by a number of local organizations, including UD's L William Crotty Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership, the Greater West Dayton Incubator, PNC, The Entrepreneurs Center, and Bandila Studios. There were four companies that won, which included Lannie, a nursing bra company, AIMM, a gravity-powered water filter, Fail Me Not Tutoring, a tutoring company, and Unemotional, a social-emotional learning service geared towards middle to high school students.    If you're an artist you'll want to hear this. The Dayton Society of Artists is looking for submissions for its upcoming June show, which will be a celebration of LGBTQ Pride Month. Submissions are due this Saturday, April 30, however, so you have to act quickly. Any Dayton-area artist 18 or over can submit to the show, although they are only looking for 2D artwork. You may enter by sending up to three photos to director@daytondsa.org. Visit daytondsa.org for more information about submission requirements.    If you're looking for a downtown ice cream location may now go to the Pizza Bandit, which is located at the Yellow Cab Tavern. They're partnering with Fairborn's JD Ice Cream and will start serving three flavors, including two JD Ice Cream favorites and one rotating flavor. The two regular flavors are “But Better,” which is vanilla with fudge brownie chunks, double-chocolate chip cookie dough, and peanut butter, and their “Banana Pudding” flavor.    Well, you may remember that the Dayton Metro Library passed a $187 million bond approximately a decade ago that provided funding for it to update its locations, which it has been in the process of doing for some time now. Well, this week the library opened up its newest building at its Burkhardt Branch, which had its soft opening this past Monday. It now has just two branches left to renovate, which include the Northmont and Huber Heights Branches. The branches are expected to open in November of this year and the spring of 2023, respectively.    Republican members of the Ohio Redistricting Commission are, not surprisingly, running out the clock on coming up with new Constitutional maps as they appear to be opting to wait until May 28, when a Federal Court is expected to impose the third set of maps they came up with and which the Ohio Supreme Court ruled as being unconstitutional. This comes despite calls from several of the redistricting commission's Democratic members publicly calling for the commission to reconvene. So it appears that thanks to Federal court intervention into state elections led by Trump-appointed judges, Ohio will now have unconstitutionally gerrymandered legislative districts.   And finally, in local real estate news, a homeowner who recently put their house on the market has caused a stir on social media thanks to their choice of decor, as their interior has been designed based entirely on the sitcom “Friends.” The house, which is on Barney Avenue in Dayton, is listed at $135,000 and features purple walls, a bricked-wall kitchen, and a clawfoot tub. It's still currently operating as an Airbnb, so you may want to check it out soon if you'd like to visit.    And now for things to do this weekend and next week:   The Contemporary, AKA The Co has its annual art auction tonight, Friday, April 29 from 6:00-10:00pm at its location at the Dayton Arcade, where over 100 original works by local artists will be up for sale. There will be hor's doeuvres and a cash bar and ticket prices for non-members purchased beforehand are $90 or $100 at the door. The live auction begins at 8:00pm.   The Dayton Playhouse is showing “Hello Dolly” tonight at 8:00pm at their Seibenthaler Avenue location. Ticket prices range from $18-20.    The Junior League of Dayton is having a one-day Vintage in the Valley rummage sale at the Taj Ma Garaj at 300 S. Perry St. tomorrow, Saturday, from 9:00am to 3:00pm, although those who wish to participate in the early-bird sale can pay $5 and arrive as early as 7:00am. Stuff for sale will include clothing, books, kitchen items, toys, movies, and more. The money raised will go towards the group's programming, which focuses on childhood wellness and literacy development.    Also tomorrow, the Zen Lounge sushi bar is hosting a “Taste of Things to Come” event going from 11:00am to 9:00pm that will feature special pricing on beer and cocktails and new drink specials. The event will also host the Tito's models at 8:00pm and if people wish to stay later they can attend their special Leather and Lace: Fetish Night. The Zen Lounge is located at 121 N. Ludlow St.    If you're into spirits then you can attend the Spring Spirit Showcase at the Dayton Barrel Work distillery on Saturday, April 30, where you can try the three spirits that earned gold at the 2022 US Open Whiskey and Spirits Competition this year. Ticket prices range from $50-75, which get you over 50 samples of spirits, a commemorative rocks glass, and live music. A link to their Eventbrite can be found on their Facebook page.     On Sunday, May 1 Toxic Brewery is partnering up with SICSA Pet Adoption & Wellness Center to launch their new beer SICSA: Lexi, which is a specialty Belgian Golden Ale and is named in memory of one of the Toxic Brewery family member's dog. People are encouraged to bring their leashed pets with them and can even purchase a non-alcoholic dog beer and other treats from Pet Wants Dayton. The event is free and goes from 1:00-5:00pm.    If you work downtown you'll be excited to know that The Square is Where is returning next week starting on Monday, May 2, which is where the Courthouse Square downtown plays host to food vendors, games, live performing artists, and more from 11:30am-1:00pm every weekday.

Food and drinks are available for purchase, and any hot rod custom, classic, or rare car, truck, or motorcycle is invited to display their vehicle.    Next Friday, May 6 you can attend Art Hops at the Front Street studios, where you'll find plenty of artists, live music, live demos, workshops, artist talks, and, of course, food trucks.
