Podcasts about streetcar

Here's just one Omaha downtown/midtown business owner optimistic about the future with the streetcar ... if they can survive through this construction to get there.

When Stan Klimecko sat down for an in depth interview, it was in the warmth of a mid-August summer, but his story is just as much fun to hear now, during a cold and sometimes snowy holiday season. Having appeared on stages from Buffalo to New York to LA, and in several major films, Stan's stories of trying to make it as an artist show a determination and range that have served him well. From a star-making appearance in a Studio Arena production of “Streetcar” to his recent performance as Scrooge at the Kenan Center, his talents have been praised by many.  

Hello Interactors,Spain's high-speed trains feels like a totally different trajectory of modernity. America prides itself on being the tech innovator, but nowhere can we blast 180 MPH between city centers with seamless transfers to metros and buses…and no TSA drudgery. But look closer and the familiar comes into view — rising car ownership, rush-hour congestion (except in Valencia!), and growth patterns that echo America. I wanted to follow these parallel tracks back to the nineteenth-century U.S. rail boom and forward to Spain's high-spe ed era. Turns out it's not just about who gets faster rail or faster freeways, but what kind of growth they lock in once they arrive.TRAINS, CITIES, AND CONTRADICTIONSMy wife and I took high-speed rail (HSR) on our recent trip to Spain. My first thought was, “Why can't we have nice things?”They're everywhere.Madrid to Barcelona in two and a half hours. Barcelona to Valencia, Valencia back to Madrid. Later, Porto to Lisbon. Even Portugal is in on it. We glided out of city-center stations, slipped past housing blocks and industrial belts, then settled into the familiar grain of Mediterranean countryside at 300 kilometers an hour. The Wi-Fi (mostly) worked. The seats were comfortable. No annoying TSA.Where HSR did not exist or didn't quite fit our schedule, we filled gaps with EasyJet flights. We did rent a car to seek the 100-foot waves at Nazaré, Portugal, only to be punished by the crawl of Porto's rush-hour traffic in a downpour. Within cities, we took metros, commuter trains, trams, buses, bike share, and walked…a lot.From the perspective of a sustainable transportation advocate, we were treated to the complete “nice things” package: fast trains between cities, frequent rail and bus service inside them, and streets catering to human bodies more than SUVs. What surprised me, though, was the way these nice things coexist with growth patterns that look — in structural terms — uncomfortably familiar.In this video

STEFAN SALVATORE HAS ARRIVED TO NEW ORLEANS!! While that is by far the biggest news of the week, it's a busy week for all Mikaelsons and their orbit. Aya makes an alliance with Aurora for access to White Oak, and in return gives her access to a chamber de chasse with Tristan, Klaus, Elijah, a lot of chess pieces, and some lazy red herrings. We welcome Lucien back and say goodby to Aya, and even put Aurora in a wall. Davina finally attempts her multi-year goal of un-linking Klaus (despite the entirety of our heroes praying on your downfall). Davina stays winning when she finally brings Kol back. The only downside of this week? We have to see Rayna Cruz again and relive the Stefan debates of TVD season 7. Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

Quinton Lucas, Mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, joined The Drive to discuss the expansion of the streetcar and its impact on Kansas City.

The traffic cones have all but left Main Street as the Streetcar Extension opens after more than three years of construction, but now drivers will face a new obstacle: transit-only lanes. Plus: Raising giant pumpkins is a labor of love for some Midwest growers, and the pumpkins keep getting bigger and bigger.

The Main Street extension of the Kansas City streetcar line is finally open for riders after years of disruptive construction. The owners of Crows Coffee and Ragazza say they're trying to capitalize on the increased foot traffic.

The iron wheels of the New Orleans streetcars have carried generations through the heart of the Crescent City — and not all their passengers have been among the living. Along the clattering tracks of St. Charles and Canal, whispers of vanished conductors, spectral riders, and echoes of tragedy linger in the night air. This haunting journey through the city's veins is underscored by an original soundscape from West Coast artist Tommy Jordan, created exclusively for our Four Shadows series._____________________________Please be sure to like us on social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shadowcarriersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shadowcarriersIf you like what you hear and want to buy your storytellers a drink, you can catch us at @shadowcarriers on Venmo.If you've enjoyed this episode and want to support our work, become a patron of the podcast!

After one too many long commute times on Toronto's aging street car network, Mac Bauer was fed up and decided to take it to the Toronto Transit Commission in a battle of man vs. machine. Over the past several months, Bauer has made it his mission to outrun the 11 routes that comprise Toronto's streetcar network, tackling summer heat, distracted drivers, and endless red lights all while maintaining a perfect undefeated record against his hulking red steel opponents.While the challenge began as an excuse to motivate Bauer's own training, the competition has taken on a life of its own, resonating with fellow disgruntled commuters and bringing attention to a system that Bauer says has fallen behind the demands of the growing city.This week on The Shakeout Podcast, Mac joins us to talk about his battle against public transit and why despite his perfect undefeated record, the victory he really dreams of is someday to lose.Subscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.Huge thank you to this week's sponsor Smartwool.

Tucson just turned 250 and we're marking the milestone with a cannon blast and a return to where it all began. In this special episode of Life Along the Streetcar, we revisit a 2017 interview with historian and volunteer Rick Collins at the Presidio San Agustín del Tucson, the original Spanish fort that gave rise to the city we now call home. From blacksmith demonstrations to tortilla-making, tin smithing, and full-uniform reenactments, Rick shares how the Presidio Museum brings Tucson's rich, multicultural history to life. It's a living history experience that spans from Indigenous settlements through Spanish colonial days, into the Mexican era, and on through statehood. This episode was recorded live during a Living History Day event, complete with cannon fire, music from the era, and the sounds of a community keeping its past alive. As Tucson celebrates 250 years since its founding in 1775, we look back at the stories, volunteers, and cultural layers that still echo through the Presidio's adobe walls.

Bill sits down with Woody Allen for a wide-ranging conversation on comedy, film, and everything in between. They swap stories from the comedy-club era and dig into Woody's craft – his “do less” rule, why he hates rehearsal, and what it's like to direct once you've aged out of a role (including casting others to play the parts you once did). Woody weighs in on classic cinema (Streetcar devotion, Godfather II praise, Casablanca indifference), Bob Hope's lasting imprint, and therapy that “helped a little,” while Bill quizzes him on newer movies (yes, even Twilight). They cover aging, AI and immortality, the Knicks, and the contrast between Manhattan gloom and sunshine, with Woody teasing his new novel What's with Baum, out in September.
