Jesse Montgomery joins Michael Stauch to discuss It Is Not Enough to Survive: The Young Patriots Story (UNC Press, 2026). They examine how young white migrants from Appalachia and the South fought police brutality, racism, economic exploitation, and displacement through community organizing, and even joined forces with Fred Hampton's Black Panther Party and the Young Lords to create the original Rainbow Coalition in the streets of Chicago in the 1960s and ‘70s. Highlights include: How the Young Patriots evolved from street gang to political organizers active in Chicago's “Hillbilly Harlem,” the Uptown neighborhood; A reminder that poor white workers made up the large majority of migrants from the South during the Great Migrations of the 20th century; How the Young Patriots attempted to “re-signify” the Confederate flag, paralleling efforts by “race traitors” like Noel Ignatiev to reframe white workers in a context of interracial class solidarity; How the story of the Young Patriots is also a story of urban renewal, and the fight against it, in Chicago; A discussion of Merle Haggard's “Okie from Muskogee” and the role of country music in the culture wars of the 1960s. Guest: Jesse Montgomery is a visiting assistant professor of English at Berea College who works on American literature after 1945, Appalachian outmigration, and radical culture. Jesse holds a Ph.D. in English from Vanderbilt University. His writing has appeared in n+1, Popula, Full Stop, and the Journal of Popular Music Studies. Host: Michael Stauch is an associate professor of history at the University of Toledo and the author of Wildcat of the Streets: Detroit in the Age of Community Policing, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 2025.

Send us a text and chime in!The city of Sedona recently enhanced community safety with the installation of three new outdoor warning sirens that will activate when needed to broadcast emergency notifications in Uptown and on Brewer Road. The Outdoor Warning Siren System is intended to provide critical emergency information during incidents such as wildfires, flash floods, law enforcement emergencies, and other emergent situations. Importantly, the system will help notify residents and visitors who may not have reliable cellular service, internet access, or emergency alerts enabled on their devices.

In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing UPTOWN GIRLS (2003), from writers Julie Margaret Hogben, Mo Ogrodnik and Lisa Davidowitz from a story by Allison Jacobs, the film is directed by Boaz Yakin.  A carefree Manhattan socialite named Molly Gunn (Brittany Murphy) loses her entire rock-star inheritance to an embezzling business manager, forcing her to find employment for the very first time.  She takes a position as a live-in nanny for Ray Schleine (Dakota Fanning), a fiercely independent, germophobic, and emotionally guarded eight-year-old girl who has grown up way too fast.  As Molly's whimsical, childlike nature clashes with Ray's rigid, overly mature exterior, the unlikely duo begins to crack each other's shells and teach one another what it truly means to grow up.  The film clocks in at 1 h and 32 m, is rated PG-13 and we caught on the Hoopla app - go support your local public library.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review. #UptownGirls #JulieMargaretHogben #MoOgrodnik #LisaDavidowitz #AllisonJacobs #BoazYakin #BrittanyMurphy #Molly #DakotaFanning #Ray #MarleyShelton #Ingrid #DonaldFaison #Huey #JesseSpencer #Neal #AustinPendleton #MrMcConkey #HeatherLocklear #Roma #ComingOfAge #Family #Comedy #Drama  @Hoopla  #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

James VanOsdol sits down with Sean Mulroney at the legendary Gallery Cabaret in Bucktown to discuss the evolving landscape of Chicago's music scene. Mulroney, the owner of Double Door, shares major updates regarding the iconic venue's future and his new role as the operator of Gallery Cabaret.     A new chapter at Gallery Cabaret After 38 years as a Bucktown staple, Gallery Cabaret is undergoing a revitalization under Mulroney's guidance. The goal is to preserve the dive bar's classic Chicago vibe while elevating the experience for artists and patrons. Upgraded Sound: The venue now features a professional sound system, incorporating high-end gear from the Double Door collection. Community Focus: The heart of the bar remains its open mic nights, which provide a platform for everyone from jazz musicians to poets. Staff Continuity: To maintain the bar's soul, Mulroney has retained a mix of legacy staff and new team members. The pivot of Double Door Mulroney provides a candid update on the Double Door relocation. While the previously announced move to the Wilson Theater in Uptown is no longer moving forward, the brand is far from dead. "Double Door was never intended to be a nine million dollar venue. The math doesn't work for a 750-capacity club." The high costs and rigid requirements of city grant programs made the Wilson Theater project unfeasible. Instead, Mulroney is currently scouting a new location that aligns with the "roadhouse" spirit of the original Double Door. He is currently working through zoning and city requirements to bring this new vision to life. Open mic and booking information Gallery Cabaret continues to be a home for local talent. Musicians, poets, and performers of all stripes are encouraged to participate in the weekly schedule: Sundays: Open Mic (Sign-up at 6:30 PM). Tuesdays: Open Mic hosted by Victor. Thursdays: Open Mic hosted by Kelly Wazer. Artists interested in booking a set or showing art can reach out to the venue directly at bookinggallerycabaret@gmail.com.   Exploding House Printing is here for all of your screen printing, embroidery and other merchandising needs.  They're local, headquartered in the heart of Hermosa.

If you think it feels like things are speeding up and change is coming faster than ever, well, you’re right. It took us hundreds of thousands of years to get to a worldwide population of 3 billion. We got there in 1927. From there, it only took about 70 more years – one lifetime – to get to a population of 6 billion. Back at the 3 billion mark, fewer Americans lived in urban areas. When they needed to shop for necessary supplies they’d talk about “going to town.” “Town” was often a single street. A commercial corridor. A “Main Street.” Here in New Orleans, over the 300 years of our existence we’ve had a number of main streets. Canal Street. Dryades Street. Magazine Street. Recently we’ve added Freret Street. The current incarnation of Freret street as a commercial district began with the re-birth of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. One of the first outposts of resurrection was a then audaciously high-end, hip, cocktail bar and restaurant, called Cure. Cure would go on to win all kinds of awards, including the Oscar of hospitality - a James Beard Award for “Outstanding Bar Program” - and the company behind it, CureCo Bar & Restaurant Group would go on to open Val’s, also on Freret Street, and other establishments, including Cane & Table on Decatur Street. Neal Bodenheimer is a Co-Founder and the Managing Partner of these ventures, as well as a partner in Dauphine’s in Washington DC, Co-Chair of the Board of Directors of Tales of the Cocktail Foundation, and author of the book, Cure, New Orleans Drinks and How to Mix ‘em. Tourists who visit New Orleans will often check out Freret Street and Magazine Street, but mostly they want to see The French Quarter. Typically, they’ll stay in a hotel in the Quarter, or at an Air B’nB in a neighborhood. There’s another local accommodation option too. It’s just west of the city. It sits on 7 and a half acres. It’s staffed by 12 employees, 24 hours a day 7 days a week, and has a full concierge desk. There’s a shuttle service to the French Quarter, and to special events like Saints games and Jazz Fest. The concierge will arrange any tour you want to go on. And they have a souvenir shop where everything is intentionally priced lower than downtown. So, what is this place? It’s the KOA campground in River Ridge. There are 100 RV sites, 4 tent sites, and 3 deluxe lodges. The owners of KOA Campgrounds New Orleans are husband and wife team, Mike and Deborah Dunn. Yes, we have Big Ass Beers and Pat O’Briens, but we also have craft cocktails and Cure. And, yes, we have hotels on Bourbon Street and Air BnB’s Uptown, but we also have KOA Campgrounds in River Ridge. There is, as they say, more than one way to skin a cat. According to AI, the origin of that saying is unknown, but it’s thought to refer to the various solutions to the tricky business of cleaning and preparing catfish. Which is entirely appropriate for this part of the world, and for today’s conversation, referring, as it does, to various ways of achieving the desired result of enjoying a long life or a short stay in New Orleans by taking the road less traveled. Whether its locals who have turned Cure into an institution or visitors who have discovered the benefits of urban camping, all of us appreciate the unique ways both Deborah Sunn and Neal Bodenheimer are helping retain New Orleans’ reputation as a city that defies easy definition. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

A new organization is looking to get the Uptown neighborhood in south Minneapolis back on its feet. First reported by Southwest Voices, community members and business owners have been voicing concerns of an escalation of open drug use, trash littered across the business district and unhoused people and large groups loitering at the transit station and outside vacant businesses. The newly-formed group “Uptown United” is hoping it can turn that pattern around and revitalize the neighborhood by bringing together neighbors, business owners and local leaders. Kevin Norman is the leader of the organization, and he joined Minnesota Now to talk about his efforts.

Melody Hoffmann is back for another edition of Monthly with Melody to talk about her article "Uptown in crisis" for Southwest Voices.

Our next guest is the owner of Ragadan and A Pizza Pie in Uptown. He reflects on his family's journey to Oklahoma City from Amman, Jordan.
