Las Vegans are sharing an outpouring of support for Enzo, the police dog who was stabbed in a recent encounter downtown. Happily, he is on the road to recovery and heading home. But what really went down in that encounter, and how should we be thinking about the use of K-9 units with mentally unstable people? Today, co-hosts Dayvid Figler and Sarah Lohman sit down with comedian-magician Matt Donnelly from the podcast Matt and Mattingly's Ice Cream Social to discuss. Next, they tackle the new street vendor regulations, which advocates say are too strict and onerous for the vendors. And lastly, a new report lists the top states where departing Nevadans move.

California's vibrant food cultures and many days of sunshine means you have probably seen an individual selling food and goods from a sidewalk or street cart.  However, this entrepreneurship led to many debates about whether certain neighborhoods should be off-limits to street (or sidewalk) vendors, how many to allow, and whether brick-and-mortar businesses needed to give permission for these carts to operate nearby.  Thanks to new laws enacted in the past five years, local governments now have some answers on how they can and can't limit these activities.  Lozano Smith attorneys Matthew M. Lear and Jack Jackson II join co-host Josh Whiteside as they cover the new laws and consider practical ways for local municipalities to interact with these vibrant vendors.

Amid the noisy bustle of Mexico City, there is a particularly iconic sound echoing on repeat in the background. This recording blares from trucks that cruise the streets all across this massive city. The crews inside are looking to buy old household items and appliances to fix and resell or to just sell for scrap. Basically, they're scrap metal haulers, and the recording is their pitch to prospective sellers. Their pitch culminates in "o algo de fierro viejo que vendan," which basically means “or any old metal thing you're selling.” This last bit has become the recording's namesake: fierro viejo, literally “old iron.”How this recording (and its subsequent remixes for live performances and otherwise) managed to achieve icon status in Mexico is a story of an unlikely alchemy: a family that, through grit, talent and a bit of luck, transmuted scrap metal into poetry, music, and joy.The Siren of Scrap Metal

This is part of UR's Pleasurefest, a week long event about sex positivity. What UR calls "Sex Positivity", we call Violence against Women since they endorse BDSM. This is just another example of how the train has gone off the rails at the University of Richmond. This is what $81,000 a year in tuition pays for at the University of Richmond.

As state legislatures across the country rethink laws on food safety and street vendor permits, farmers market managers are having to rethink their market guidelines and policies. This week on Tent Talk we go over some of the various regulation changes that have been rolled out and implemented and how they are impacting farmers, food makers and local farmers market communities. Listen in for updates on recent shifts in public policy, how these changes are shaking out on a local level and what market managers should be aware of when it comes to food and vending legislation.

Why is SNHD Cracking Down on Street Vendors?

The Southern Nevada Health District and law enforcement have joined forces to crack down on unlicensed street vendors in Las Vegas, as the rise of sporting events has created a bigger market for vendors in front of venues like Allegiant and T-Mobile. Vendors can also be found in neighborhoods with a high immigrant population. The nonprofit Make the Road Nevada wants to help these unlicensed street vendors become legal, but the pathway is a hard one to navigate. Jose Rivera from Make the Road Nevada joins co-host Dayvid Figler to explain how enforcement over education builds mistrust and keeps these unlicensed street vendors at a disadvantage; also, he says, he's seen no evidence to support SNHD's claim that street vendors are being trafficked. This is our first of two episodes about street vendors. We'll be speaking with SNHD about this issue tomorrow, so stay tuned! Join the conversation on social media! Follow us @CityCastVegas on Twitter and Instagram.  You can also call or text us at 702-514-0719. Have you seen more street vendors in Vegas recently? Want some more Las Vegas news?

Fresno is launching a pilot program to help protect street vendors from harassment and assault. Councilmembers and community organizations there are teaming up to install cameras on street vendors' carts and provide them with small business resources. The effort comes a year after the death of Lorenzo Perez, a street vendor who was murdered in April, 2021 while selling corn. We talk with journalist Melissa Montalvo, who reported on the story for the Fresno Bee and Fresno councilmember Luis Chavez, one of the initiative's leaders.
