BUS DRIVER LINK UP gala edition 2025 by UpTown

NC can't ask for state funds to offset loss of food aid; new pedestrian bridge linking Uptown to South End to start construction

Tune in here to this ​Thursday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Today, Breaking Brett Jensen sits down with Charlotte community leader David Longo to talk about several relevant topics in the city of Charlotte. One of those is the one-cent sales tax referendum that is included on ballot in the ongoing Mecklenburg County election. Longo states that the one-cent sales tax increase is important to the city's infrastructure, mentioning that he has yet to meet someone who doesn't believe Charlotte has a traffic congestion problem. To further define the congestion problem, he says if you sit through one light cycle on your commute, that is classified as a systemic failure that needs to be addressed. Another topic that Longo addresses with Jensen is the ongoing issue of crime within the city limits. Jensen notes that CMPD continues to use the word "perception" when addressing crime, despite murders in the Uptown area being up two-200%. Describing the decision to hold a recent press conference to address this topic, Longo highlights that a lot of people in the community express concerns about the details of what the crime statistics were showing. He also recognizes that Charlotte center city is considered "the gathering place in the community", therefore it needs to be a place that is pristine and free of violence.

In this inspiring What's Your Story episode of The Way We See It, Alex reconnects with longtime friend and teammate Rodney “Rocket” Burns, whose journey stretches from chasing Big Ten football dreams to finding purpose through faith, family, and calling. Rodney shares about growing up in poverty, his time playing football and singing with the group Uptown at Evangel University, and how God redirected his life toward both a successful career in engineering and more than 25 years of ministry as a volunteer youth pastor. He opens up about walking through his son's Type 1 diabetes diagnosis, how it shifted his career toward purpose-driven healthcare work, and the life lessons that continue to shape him today. With humility and wisdom, Rodney encourages the next generation to stay disciplined, cut out the noise, and commit fully to the plan God has for their lives. #TheWayWeSeeIt #WhatsYourStory #FaithInAction #BigTenDreams #UptownSingingGroup #EngineerForChrist #YouthPastorLife #FaithfulFatherhood #PurposeDrivenLife #ChristianPodcast Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.

Host David Manilow is a huge fan of Ethiopian food. Spices including turmeric and cardamom are alluring, no doubt, but it's really the communal nature of Ethiopian dining that makes the meal special. In this episode, Manilow talks with chef Tigist Reda of Demera — an Ethiopian restaurant in Uptown — about her life in Chicago, how she became a revered cultural ambassador, and why you won't need a fork to enjoy her food.

Tune in here to this ​Wednesday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about the latest crime statistics released by CMPD and the growing role of public perception in shaping how residents feel about safety in Charlotte. The department held a press conference earlier in the day, highlighting an overall 8% drop in crime and a 20% reduction in violent crime through the first three quarters of 2025. Jensen plays a key portion of the press conference, urging listeners to note how often the word “perception” is used by CMPD officials. Later Jensen digs into the second half of CMPD’s press conference on the latest crime stats — and doesn’t hold back. He challenges city officials on the disconnect between public “perception” and the reality of rising crime, especially in Uptown Charlotte. With murders up 200% and violent crimes increasing across the board in the Central Division, Brett demands straight answers on why CMPD continues to frame the issue as one of perception. Jensen is joined by Krista Bokharii to discuss her campaign for Charlotte City Council in District 6 and the issues she believes are holding the city back. A strong advocate for transparency and accountability, Bakari criticizes what she calls wasteful spending by current leadership — pointing to high-dollar payouts, the proposed $1.5 million for the private Excelsior Club, and a general lack of fiscal responsibility. Jensen ends the night with an exclusive 1-on-1 interview with James Bowers to discuss his campaign for Charlotte City Council in District 3 and his vision for restoring safety, transparency, and trust in city leadership. Bowers, a passionate advocate for public safety, criticized the current council for what he called poor decisions and a lack of accountability, particularly when it comes to crime and police staffing.

Uptown Voices: An Uptown Story is a multi-media exhibition in development designed to document Harlem's history through intimate large-format portraits and oral histories of residents who have lived in the community for 30 years or more. The brother and sister team behind the project, photographer Wil Pierce and curator Joyous Pierce, have launched an open call for nominations—inviting New Yorkers to put forward family, friends, or neighbors whose Harlem stories should be preserved.

One data center plan goes away, another moves in; CMPD moves to fight crime in Uptown; Belichick in trouble at UNC.

Tune in here to this ​Thursday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by diving into alarming crime statistics that paint a stark picture of uptown Charlotte’s public safety crisis. Before breaking down the data, he shares information from a trusted source claiming that National Guard members have been placed on an hour's standby for possible deployment to Charlotte—though he makes clear he is relaying, not reporting, this. Jensen connects this tip to a recent federal court ruling in Illinois ordering the National Guard to stand down, suggesting broader legal questions could soon reach the Supreme Court. Jensen then shifts focus to the CMPD’s recent press conference, where leaders repeatedly referenced a "perception" of crime. Jensen challenges that framing by presenting cold, hard numbers: murders up 200%, robberies, assaults, drug offenses, and even missing person cases all on the rise. He argues these figures aren't about perception—they’re about reality, and says the call for National Guard assistance stems from CMPD being stretched dangerously thin.

Tune in here to this ​Tuesday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about David Tepper’s newly announced plans to build a 4,500-seat outdoor amphitheater near Bank of America Stadium and what it means for Uptown Charlotte. Brett explains why the idea makes sense economically, culturally, and logistically, pointing out Tepper’s long-standing vision for an “entertainment district” filled with hotels, bars, and restaurants. He also reflects on Tepper’s earlier criticisms of overbuilding apartments Uptown, arguing that the city needs more business infrastructure to match its growth.

We are a podcast that often covers peoples' underrated comfort movies, and this time we finally tackle the long neglected Valerie-comfort-watch (and Jesse-Spencer vehicle!) Uptown Girls. If that's not a comfort movie for you, 1) why not, it's sweet and fun, and 2) we hope you take some comfort in the knowledge that we'll talk about a different movie next month. Probably.  OK, there's a non-zero chance this will just be an Uptown Girls podcast moving forward.

Robert Loerzel and James ‘Andy’ Pierce join Rick Kogan to talk about their book, ‘The Uptown: Chicago’s Endangered Movie Palace’. Robert and Andy discuss the importance of getting this book out to the public and share people’s stories about The Uptown throughout different periods of its prominence.

A number of small fires broke out across San Diego County on Friday as the county grapples with higher than usual heat and fire danger. One day after his brother Erik Menendez was denied parole, his older brother Lyle learned that he will also remain at Donovan Correctional Facility for now. Parking meters will be extended by at least 2 hours and into Sundays in Pacific Beach, Mid-City, Uptown and Downtown.   What You Need To Know To Start Your Saturday. 

Famous for its grandeur and colossal size, the Uptown Theatre celebrates its 100-year anniversary. Over the last century, the Uptown has seen its highs and lows, but after being shuttered in 1981, the “palace” now needs a $190-million revamp. Robert Loerzel's new book, The Uptown: Chicago's Endangered Movie Palace, relives the glory days of the theatre through photos and archives. Many, like Loerzel, hope the Uptown Theatre will be restored to its former purpose and splendor through the help of donor and state funding. Reset hears more about the Uptown Theatre's history and future from Loerzel, Preservation Chicago executive director Ward Miller, and David Syfczak, caretaker for the Uptown Theatre for the last 30 years. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.

The Uptown Theatre has sat vacant for 44 of its 100 years. Efforts to reopen it have come and gone.

In this week's edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, we're up in Rogers at the Uptown Kitchen and Taphouse talking with Co-owner/Operator Seth McDaniel... but before we hear from him?!?! FOOD NEWS!! 72 restaurants are participating in Fayetteville Restaurant Week. We'll tell you how Black Apple Hard Cider is celebrating their 10th birthday on Sunday. The Fayetteville Farmer's Market will have a Watermelon Fest soon. Happy first year anniversary to the Leroy! We'll tell you how and when they'll be celebrating it. Nomad's Southtown will be open a bit longer. The newest Slim Chickens has opened at their first location. We'll explain. Someone tried to make Richard's Country Meat Market a drive-thru this weekend. Seth McDaniel was an information systems consultant for Hitachi for years. It kept him on the road constantly, and he got tired watching his kids grow up on a webcam, so he got out. What led him to wanting to open a kitchen and taphouse? It's an interesting story and has everything to do with his travels. Seth had zero restaurant or bar experience, other than sitting on the other side of it, so he bought into a chain that was different. VERY different. In fact, it was only an unproven concept at the time. It included 100 beers on tap, and he ended up being one of the flagships for the chain, until he broke away from that chain. He'll talk about that process and how he was able to do it. That's how Uptown Kitchen and Taphouse was born. Seth will talk about its growth, and HIS growth in the restaurant business. In many cases, he had to learn the hard way and he talks about it next, here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas.
