Podcasts about union depot

Caballero por un día (The Union Depot, 1932, EE. UU.), de Alfred E. Green, con Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Joan Blondell y Guy Kibbee. Presentación: Nancy Berthier Chick (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.), un vagabundo recién salido de prisión, se encuentra en una estación de tren una maleta que puede cambiar su suerte. Allí conoce a Ruth (Joan Blondell), una corista sin dinero, y los dos se ven envueltos en una intriga criminal en la que cabe el romance, la acción frenética y el melodrama. La estación de tren funciona como un microcosmos tras el desplome del 29. Blondell encarna a la chica dulce al borde de la desesperación y Douglas Fairbanks Jr. a un héroe ambivalente, marginado y rudo, pero a la vez tenaz, con mucho encanto y gran corazón. El sábado se proyecta el vídeo de la presentación del día anterior.Más información de este acto

Today's inspiring guest is Michele Horovitz. Michelle is one of the co-founders and Executive Director of Appetite For Change (AFC), a nonprofit social enterprise organization dedicated to using food as a tool to build health, wealth and social change. AFC works with residents to build strong families and healthy, equitable communities around food. They also own and operate Kindred Kitchen, a shared commercial kitchen incubator and Breaking Bread Café and Catering, a youth social enterprise serving North Minneapolis. Michelle graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a B.A. in Bioethics and Spanish and earned a J.D. from the University of Minnesota Law School. She worked as an Assistant Public Defender in Miami-Dade County before working for James Beard Award winning Chef Michelle Bernstein as a prep cook, line cook and assistant to the pastry chef. After returning to Minneapolis she co-founded Appetite For Change. She is a dedicated leader, passionate about social and racial justice, and serves on the Board of Directors for Jewish Community Action. Michelle enjoys yoga, biking and spending time with her family and friends. She lives in Minneapolis with her husband, two children, two dogs and 1 hamster. In this inspiring episode Michelle discusses how eating healthy is tough for everyone, regardless of age, family status, how much time or money you have.  She then explains how living in a community without farmers markets, healthy retail options, limited grocery store availability and reliable transportation make it so much harder. We talk about how people often think that low-income communities just don't know what healthy is, or care about eating well, but it's often the policies systems, and the environment around us that influences our eating habits. Often times communities lack resources to solve their own health issues, but they don't need to be told what the solutions are, or "saved" by people who live outside their communities. It's more about the resources, social networks and assets in a community that prevent people from achieving their wellness goals. We also discuss how health and wellness means different things for different people, but it's often stereotypes and fears of the unknown that keep us from trying new things. For example: black people aren't vegan, eating "healthy" is a white person thing, you have to have a lot of money to eat fresh and local foods, growing your own food is hard and you can't do it if you don't own your own property, etc. We also hear all all about the foundation, the cafe, catering company, community garden and all the other amazing things her organization is working on - including a super cool rap video "Grow Food." Michelle ends by sharing a powerful story about a woman, her journey and how Appetite for Change impacted her life.

The Union Depot has been a part of the St. Paul community for a long time and it has become a very fun and electric event center. It is a vital part of lower town neighborhood. We are still open! The events will have to wait, but we offer much more.

We discuss Doggy Depot happening February 2nd at Union Depot. Topics include: teach your dogs to play nicely with their toys, puppy itching, raw food for cat, dog eating everything and a dog with Alzheimer's.

For over 100 years the red Union Depot building has stood out from its surroundings on Western Avenue. When it first opened its importance to bringing in tourist, visitors, and new residents was immense. Over the years its importance declined but thankfully the building remained to be transformed into the center of tourism again in Muskegon as the Muskegon County Convention & Visitor's Bureau and now the home of Visit Muskegon. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/patrick-horn/support

许多人都知道，丹佛是因为1868年横贯东西岸的太平洋铁路（Transcontinental Railroad）的开通而得到了突飞猛进的发展，而在1881年启用的联合车站（Union Depot）更进一步奠定了丹佛成为美国中西部交通枢纽的地位，大家现在所熟悉则是在1914年时扩建的联合车站（Union Station）。您知道吗，其实在扩建前，联合车站在1894年大火之后，还进行过一场大型的重建工程，把被烧毁的车站主体部分从原本的木质建筑改建成后来有个钟塔的罗曼式（Romanesque Revival）的石质建筑，在1906年在车站正门前兴建的迎宾门（Mizpah Arch）更曾是当年丹佛的代表性建筑，而到1914年时车站更大刀阔斧的扩建成而今综合古代罗马，希腊的建筑风格，强调建筑的宏伟，对称，秩序性的第二帝国式（Beaux-Arts）建筑。再和您分享一个关于车站的小故事，联合车站在1902年发布了一道蛮有趣的规定，为了避免延误发车，车站限制乘客在月台上亲嘴，违反规定的乘客会被站警呵斥和警告。时至今日这些陈年往事都早已成了过往云烟，但借着这些小故事，让大家在了解车站历史之余，也不妨诙谐一笑。

The Super Bowl is on the mind of the staff. Joe and Rookie would like to be invited to the Owner's party at Union Depot. The earthquake in Alaska affected water levels in other parts of the country?

Producer/Engineer: Bill Pollock Editor: Sarah Rendo Cover: Rob Mitchell   The Union Depot Train Station was an architectural marvel, but it was built in the middle of a floodplain and in 1904 the Union Depot was completely flooded. When preparations for a new train station began, city planners began to focus on a strip of land adjacent to the O.K. Creek. It was agreed that if the waters of the O.K. Creek could be diverted and channeled underground, that this would be the ideal location for a train station.   And so the city began to confront that wrinkle. City officials began to contact all the plants and animals living along the creek, telling them they had 30 days notice to vacate their creekside parcels.   Waterproof notes were handed out to all the fish and turtles. Eviction notices were seed pasted to the nests of the local waterfowl and all the street cats were contacted. Every cricket and water bug was notified via paper boats. Cattails and creekside willows are no dummies. They read the writing on the ripples of the water and de-rooted themselves. The creek water became salty with the tears of all the plants and animals and it was stained with the blood of thousands of dead tadpoles. The bullfrog community agreed that death was preferable to a forced migration.   With heavy hearts, most of the creatures accepted their fate. Except for the crawdads.   Crawdads are blue shelled luddites - freshwater lurkers who don't take kindly to trespassers and their ilk. When they heard the news they tapped into the old alliance and sent an owl to the mayor’s office with a note of their own. It read:   “Dear present administration,   Mess with the tiny daddies and you'll get the claws. Rome will burn before we surrender our homes. You ugly, ugly, shit head man!"   The mayor laughed and crumpled the note in the newspaper.  His administration did not respond to threats from hooligans. If he would have listened, perhaps a great horror would have been avoided, perhaps a mighty disaster would have been circumvented - but a massive collision was being prepared and it would not be denied by the watchful eye of history.   Thus, on the debut evening of the first train rolling into the new train station, just as the mayor prepared to clip the dedication ribbon with the scissors of great purpose, an army of 9,000 crawdads surged over the nearby hill. And they did not stop at the appointed boundaries, but began to pinch noses, pinch butts, and pinch ankles. Shovels were produced by the train station police, but even as they smashed one or two crawdads, more crawdads began climbing into the conductor’s cab and twisting the machine to and fro until the great machine - the great machine that had upset them from their homes - toppled over and burst into flames.   The records show that the rebellion lasted for one hour, until Donnie Turtle, the master crawdad smasher of Raytown, began to stomp on the their shells. And in ten minutes he had killed almost all of the crawdads, and in the eleventh minute Turtle pulled out a giant sprayer and began to wash their parts into a nearby drainage ditch.  

Finally, there is a light rail line connecting the Twin Cities. The Green Line, running 11 miles from Union Depot in downtown St. Paul to Target Field in downtown Minneapolis, cost $957 million and several decades to build. The process of choosing stations was contentious but eventually embraced the proposals of the low-income communities that wanted stations, and the line is already being looked at as a model. It's not the fastest way between the two downtowns, but it might be the best way. Jeff and Tanya discuss. Then we sink our teeth into the Sightline Institute's proposal to change the property tax structure in order to incentivize better uses of downtown space. That might help some cities with their parking crater problem. And finally, we rejoice at Calgary's decision to tear down a whole mess of parking outside one of its light rail stations, and we discuss the balancing act between preserving broad access to transit and creating walkable, compact communities where they belong: near transit.  We can't wait to read your thoughts in the comments.

On May 7th, the City of St. Paul, Minnesota and the Ramsey County Railroad Authority finally got an Amtrak to start stopping at their newly renovated Union Depot. The depot opened last year, and is a mulitmodal station.
