When businesses were leaving downtown Tucson, Kathy and Fiore Iannacone were moving in. Beginning in the early 1980s, the couple brought their New York roots, Italian cooking, and entrepreneurial spirit to a downtown still searching for its next chapter. In this episode of Life Along the Streetcar, they join Tom Heath to share the stories behind restaurants including Old Pueblo Eatery, Cafe Renaissance, Enoteca, and Urban Fresh—and why they kept believing in downtown even when their ideas arrived ahead of the crowds. Fiore recalls the bicycle ride and smell of pizza that unexpectedly launched his restaurant career. Kathy shares her commitment to homemade food and the personal journey that led her to create Urban Fresh as a place for plant-based meals and nutrition education. Their impact extended beyond the kitchen. We explore their efforts to bring downtown businesses together, make sidewalk advertising more workable, and create spaces where food, music, art, and community could meet. It's a conversation about taking chances, building connections, and helping shape the downtown Tucson we know today. Life Along the Streetcar explores the social, cultural, and economic forces shaping Tucson's urban core—from Sentinel Peak (“A” Mountain) to the University of Arizona and all stops in between.

Christian Brothers Academy Head Cross Country Coach Sean McCafferty joins Airey Bros Radio for a deep dive into one of the most storied high school cross country programs in America.Coming off a historic 2025 season, McCafferty was named the Joe Newton Coach of the Year after leading CBA to 3rd place at Nike Cross Nationals (NXN) with a New Jersey-record 15:54 team average. Under his leadership, the Colts have won seven Meet of Champions titles, six Nike Northeast Regional titles and qualified for NXN eight consecutive times.Sean takes us back to his roots in New Jersey distance running, growing up in a running family, his own career at Princeton, becoming a teacher and coach, and eventually taking over the legendary CBA Cross Country program from Tom Heath.We get deep into what has allowed CBA to remain one of the premier high school distance programs in the country: evolving training philosophies, slowing down easy days, threshold training, heart-rate data, lactate testing, building athlete confidence, developing team culture and teaching runners to care about one another.Coach McCafferty also breaks down the modern college recruiting landscape and why the best opportunity for a high school runner isn't always NCAA Division I. We discuss D1, D2 and D3 recruiting, Ivy League academics, social media and Strava, the pressure of coaching a national powerhouse, CBA alumni culture, Nike Cross Nationals and what the next generation of Colts looks like heading into the 2026 cross country season.If you're a high school cross country runner, distance coach, parent, college recruit or fan of New Jersey running, this one is loaded.

Groundworks Tucson is giving young musicians and artists more than a place to perform — it is giving them a chance to help shape the creative community around them. In this episode of Life Along the Streetcar, Tom Heath talks with Logan Greene, one of the founders and current director of Groundworks Tucson. Logan shares how his own roots in Tucson's music scene, along with his experience as a musician and educator, helped inspire an organization focused on youth-driven music and arts. The conversation explores Groundworks' grassroots beginnings, its DIY response to launching during the pandemic, and the community space it has built at Grant Road and Country Club. Logan also explains how young people get hands-on experience with concerts, recording, sound engineering, art, event production and leadership — often by taking real responsibility for the programs and spaces themselves. The episode also looks at Groundworks' commitment to keeping its programs accessible regardless of someone's ability to pay, the realities of sustaining a grassroots nonprofit, and Camp Groundworks — the organization's youth-run music and arts fundraiser that helps support its work for the year ahead. While Groundworks sits just beyond the streetcar route, the musicians, artists and young people it serves are part of the broader creative culture shaping Tucson and its urban core.

Chef Gary Hickey has been part of Tucson's restaurant story for more than three decades. In this episode of Life Along the Streetcar, Tom Heath sits down with Gary for a wide-ranging conversation about food, survival, hospitality, family, and the community built around Tucson's restaurant scene.

Tucson photographer Steven Meckler joins Life Along the Streetcar to talk about photography, storytelling, and life in downtown Tucson. Living and working in the urban core since the early 1980s, Meckler has documented Tucson's makers, musicians, architects, and cultural moments with an eye for narrative and environment. In this conversation, host Tom Heath explores how Meckler approaches environmental portraiture, why every image begins with a story, and how some of his most iconic photos—especially those created for the Tucson Jazz Festival—are carefully planned, staged, and assembled. From Brooklyn roots to Tucson streets, this episode offers insight into how photography can be both commercial and deeply artistic—and how images help preserve the evolving story of a city.
