Podcasts about West Broadway

What's behind the Kroger Co.'s recent push to invest in Louisville?Jake Cannon, Louisville division president for Kroger, is on this week's Access Louisville podcast to explain that and much more.LBF has been reporting on major investments from Kroger in the market during the last few years. In March we had a story about a $1.8 million remodel of the West Broadway location. Before that, we covered a $2 million renovation of the Outer Loop Kroger. Those are just to name a few recent examples.As Cannon explains on the show: "it takes capital dollars invested into our brick and mortar stores to make sure layout of the store is right and that we have the right assortment [of products.] Thousands of items are introduced into the market each year."For example, he noted, that when he ran a Kroger store in the 2000s, there was only one energy drink on the shelves: Red Bull.  "Now it's an aisle ... everybody in the world has an energy drink and that's what the customers are looking for," he said.Late last year, Kroger also announced a $40 million new marketplace store on Beulah Church Road.The company is facing new competition in town, including Publix's entry and expansion into Louisville. Cannon talks about competition as well — including what he looks for when he visits Kroger's competitors. As well as companies that he personally admires, including Starbucks and Chik-fil-a.Cannon, originally from Utah, started working in a grocery store when he was 16 as he explained in this 2023 profile story in Business First. That store wasn't a Kroger location but he found his way to the company from there. He worked for Kroger in Utah, Las Vegas and at the company's general office in Cincinnati, before coming to Louisville. Cincinnati-based Kroger has served the Louisville community for 95 years now at 27 stores across Jefferson County. Kroger Louisville Division operates 116 retail stores in Kentucky, Southern Indiana and Southern Illinois. Kroger Co. is one of the largest employers in Greater Louisville.Access Louisville, sponsored by Baird, is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. It's available on popular podcast services including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

One can't miss the S.K. Pierce Mansion in Gardner, Massachusetts. This magnificent mansion is a huge Victorian that takes up the whole corner of West Broadway and Union Street. The grand exterior makes it very inviting, but the ghost stories connected to this place might just make you think twice before entering. There are those that claim this home is the second most haunted house in Massachusetts. Some owners have been chased out by spirits. There could be more than a dozen spirits here and one of them may be the furniture magnate for whom the house was built and named: S.K. Pierce. Join us for the history and hauntings of the S.K. Pierce Mansion.

Episode 29 looks at a few key issues that we've been reporting on, and puts some important new concerns on the table. Part 1- In Thursday's Winnipeg Sun, Marty Gold reveals hidden details that city officials and the broadcast media didn't want you to know about as a lawless homeless encampment in West Broadway. Click here to read Winnipeg refuses to oust homeless camp with crime, safety issues - Coming in Sunday's column- more about the frustrating refusal of Mayor Gillingham and City officials to clean up the illegal camps behind 300 Assiniboine. 8.30 - Hear how CBC deliberately distorted comments by Coun. Cindy Gilroy to favour the homeless campers and not the victims of the ongoing mayhem. She was talking about where they are being allowed- the same theme our reporting has been focusing. Meanwhile, who decided there's no count being kept of emergency response trips to encampments? Are riverbank property owners are being used as political pawns? * We are only $1295 shy of the Season 5 funding target! * Donors over $250 get a rare hardcover version of Retropeg- contribute to our costs via the Donate page Our target is $5600, we always earn your support! 15.00- Another information session about Plan20-50 is being held Saturday in Howden, Mb. from 1-4 pm at 1078 Red River Drive. Marty discusses the topics being covered by Manitoba Stronger Together and why the central planning agenda for land development and 'density' should be opposed by pretty much everyone- as should divisive NDP legislation to require 300 signatures to appeal a zoning decision. There's a new leader in the TGCTS all-time rankings: Episode 27 with the whistleblower exposing the Watt Street crime central rooming house - here's the link 23.10 Part 2- Crime Stoppers have good intentions but transit drivers tell us cops already don't respond to serious crimes like break-ins and there's no dedicated unit to investigate the anticipated complaints. Focusing on passengers to call in tips is re-active, not pro-active. And with the Code of Conduct not even on the Transit main page and banned people allowed to ride anyways, the ‘It's Your BUSiness' campaign is smoke and mirrors. What passengers and drivers need, is enforcement on the actual buses in real-time. The early morning assault of a driver on the 672 South Pointe route, forcing her to crawl out a window, is being cited as a reason to completely seal off transit drivers from passengers- a horrible idea that punishes the victims. 38.00 - The Gillingham plan to reconstruct Portage and Main doesn't mention the effects on the one neighborhood most affected. Hear which councilor won't answer the questions asked on behalf of the people of St. Boniface. 41.00- Dr. Joss Reimer gets a lesson from Marty Gold in the Gary Doer concept of "think global, act local". Reimer got lots of airtime this week in her role as chair of the Canadian Medical Association. "The current sick note system puts unnecessary pressure on our already overwhelmed health system," she tweeted. Wait till you hear which of her colleagues employed by the province requires it. Will she challenge them to change? Don't hold your breath. - Although the media won't ever connect the dots, when Coun. Gilroy complains about the projected costs to clean-up the skyrocketing number used needles dropped in inner-city parks, she's complaining about whose vision of "harm reduction"? That's right, the WRHA's Joss Reimer, matriarch of the free needle program that sacrificed the safety of Winnipeg families to cater to derelicts and criminals. Coming up- How Mayor Gillingham's administration hampers needle and garbage clean-up in downtown parks overrun by illegal camps; unreported incidents of antisemitism; and more special interviews!

Columbia-based Shelter Insurance is the seventh-largest employer in Columbia/Boone County, according to 2024 statistics from Columbia Regional Economic Development Incorporated (REDI). REDI says Shelter has 1,382 employees here. Shelter's new president is a familiar name in mid-Missouri: Rockne Corbin. Mr. Corbin joined host Fred Parry in-studio for the hour Saturday morning on 939 the Eagle's "CEO Roundtable" program. Mr. Corbin grew up in Jefferson City and earned a degree in business from Central Missouri State in Warrensburg. Mr. Corbin considered being a helicopter pilot while growing up, and served in the U-S Army Airborne at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. His parents taught him the importance of serving others: his mother is longtime former Boone County collector Pat Lensmeyer. Mr. Corbin describes his mother as a true public servant. Shelter operates in 21 states under three brands and in more than 60 nations with what is called reinsurance. Mr. Corbin tells listeners that Shelter currently has about three-million policies with about 800,000 families in their operating territories. He expects Shelter to surpass $3-billion in group business in 2025, with a policyholder surplus of $2.2 billion. Mr. Parry and President Corbin also discussed the impact of Hurricanes Helene and Milton on Shelter, and the importance of being a good corporate citizen. They discussed Shelter's famous gardens and fountains at their massive headquarters on Columbia's West Broadway:

The U.S. Senate has confirmed a veteran prosecutor as Minnesota's newest federal judge.  President Joe Biden in June nominated Assistant U.S. Attorney Laura Provinzino to replace retiring Judge Wilhelmina Wright. The Senate approved the president's choice in a bipartisan vote. Provinzino, from St. Cloud, has served as an assistant U.S. Attorney since 2010 focusing on human trafficking cases.And dozens of Minneapolis residents Thursday voiced their opinions at a city council committee hearing about the proposed Blue Line extension plan. Kristel Porter, executive director of the West Broadway Business and Area Coalition, says the route — which goes down West Broadway — needs a safety plan before it can go forward. Municipalities where the route will be located are holding public hearings on the preliminary design plans before they vote on it. The vote must take place before Oct. 10.This is an MPR News morning update, hosted by Phil Picardi.

A chemical engineer turned community development organizer, Anthony Taylor shares the career journey that led him to founding Melanin in Motion, a Community Wellness Center program that connects children of color—and their families – with active pursuits like skiing, cycling, kayaking. Melanin in Motion was a Twin Cities Business 2024 Community Impact Award winner. “I noticed my white friends, when they think about preparing their kids for law school, they're putting them in the woods. That's the secret for making more lawyers,” Taylor says. “I want all communities to realize the benefits of municipal, state, federal investment in natural places that can show up in children being resilient, confident, and collaborative.” Taylor talks about how working for successful Minnesota wellness companies, Life Time and Aveda, helped him become a well rounded leader, and what he learned from his own startups, Spa One and Simply Organic Beauty, that led him to shift course and work for the Loppet Foundation and as president of equity outdoors for the YMCA of the North. “Melanin in Motion really is the culmination of that idea, where we see culture as an asset,” Taylor says. He also gives us a preview of his next venture: RiverNorth Development Partners, a social impact development group that is working to create a business district in North Minneapolis that prioritizes “equity driven employers” that agree to create skilled jobs for area residents who have been marginalized. Ion Aerospace is first to sign on, with plans to open on West Broadway in 2025. Following our conversation with Taylor, we go Back to the Classroom with the University of St. Thomas Schulze School of Entrepreneurship where associate professor Alex Johnson teaches entrepreneurship. He talks about the pros and cons of starting a venture on your own versus within a larger organization, and explains the difference between an inventor and an innovator. “Inventors create things. Innovators identify the problem, the value, and build a solution.”

A Winnipeg Free Press editorial derided the residents of Wolseley for fighting City Hall, comparing them to "stereotypical Winnipeggers who staunchly oppose" new policies and are "“notoriously” resistant to change." Sounds like they opposed a bike lane, right? But this time, it wasn't about bikes. This was about buses. In Episode 2 of Season 5, you'll hear about the contempt the newspaper showed for almost 500 concerned residents of Wolseley and West Broadway. (See charts listing their concerns on ActionLine.ca.) Part 1- The contempt starts with the special interest group driving the changes. The Transit lobby demands means the City is "taking the system we have right now and blowing it up and starting over again." For Wolseley that meant bus traffic was aiming where it isn't wanted, risking homes and school kids. A 'Greenway' is no place for a bus. With no routing planned west of Arlington, users there face walking for 20 minutes to get to a stop, in winter, at night. Whose side did the Free Press take? Not the taxpayers or the actual bus users in Wolseley. Their concerns are "cultural obstinancy." The "culture" the Free Press insists taxpayers adopt is that of a group called Functional Transit Winnipeg. It had steered a moderate course under its founder, Joe Kornelson but has taken a radical turn after a former NDP politician from Calgary got involved. You'll hear key background the media- and their own website - doesn't tell you, and you'll wonder why. Then you'll hear what the editorial didn't tell readers about what's at stake. Our reports, interviews and investigations for Season 5 are better than ever- telling the stories the media won't. We earn your support! Help us reach the $5600 summer target by donating here! 16:44  Part 2 - We sample feedback about the meeting, and about the comment of FTU's Brian Pincott- who has lived in Winnipeg for all of 5 years- that the #10 is "the most inefficient route imaginable." Functional Transit Winnipeg and their allies at the Free Press dismissed faked consultation, safety issues, 20 minute walks to a stop, and labeled the residents as luddites. Is that logical? 22.00 Marty Gold exposes how the planners rigged the consultation process after Transit admitted they 'differentiate stakeholders from residents." A previous bike lane audit required the City to treat residents as stakeholders- so what gives? To boot, St. Boniface parents had no idea of the route change. A St. B school trustee laughed it off. 28:04  Forced to re-jig route plans in St. James after Kelly Ryback spoke up, promised discussions with Wolseley users were kaiboshed. One theory: "It would apparently be too disruptive because they are concerned other neighbourhoods uncovering flaws will demand the same." The effect of an Arlington route boundary on seniors, kids and women further west, and whether buses will interfere with emergency vehicles using Arlington south of Portage are valid, vital safety concerns - but not to the Functional Transit Winnipeg lobby group. The media described Pincott's position: 'the biggest challenge for the city is not getting bogged down with individual needs and wants.' Instead, Pincott wants a City hiring spree to plant cheerleaders for the master plan at bus stops. Guess how much it costs? Comments, news tips, Interac donations- martygoldlive@gmail.com The snubbing of people taking time to deal with City Hall was capped off by Public Works chair Janice Lukes. “So maybe it's a year of no transit [in some areas]" No buses for a year? MSM won't explain the impact of her cavalier gamble on going to church, shopping, getting home after basketball practice. "Maybe it's a year of transit on the greenway. It can change after a year.” As Marty points out, it could change on Tuesday at EPC, if councilors develop some backbone and represent the voters and Route 10 transit users, and not the bus lobby.

Saturday is the fourth anniversary of the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer. The civil unrest that followed his death in 2020 left its mark on the Twin Cities, with fire and other damage along parts of University Avenue, West Broadway and Lake Street. The damage, which the state priced at $500 million, was an added challenge for business owners who were already muddling through the strangeness of a new global pandemic.Each day this week on Minnesota Now, we're looking at a different impact of Floyd's murder on Minnesotans. We're zooming in on Lake Street with Allison Sharkey, executive director of Lake Street Council and Alicia Belton, one of three long-term owners who are working to bring the Coliseum Building back to life after it burned in 2020. She's also the architect on the project and owns the firm Urban Design Perspectives.

The final episode of 2023 - and Season 3 - ties together our coverage of the explosion during the year of ultra-violent crime that leaves a trail of injuries, death and anguish at the hands of remorseless teenagers. "We've seen that more and more often during incidents this year," said said Winnipeg Police Service spokesman Const. Claude Chancy. "It's definitely something we are concerned about.” With three 14 year olds, two 15 year olds, and a 16 year old to face charges in the murder of 27 year old Peter Filip outside a Logan Avenue beer vendor on Remembrance Day, his mother showed no hesitation in putting blame where it belonged: “Parents have to be responsible for that, and who are the parents?” she said. It was shocking the media reported it, daring to air a view that didn't blame "colonialism", "capitalism" "root causes" or other far-fetched explanations for why 6 kids were roaming the streets looking for victims at 2 AM. Marty Gold explains the trail of one death, 4 assaults, a sawed-off shotgun, and a barely-failed carjacking that proves soft-on-criminals legislation needs to be abolished. When will it be replaced with true deterrence and protection of the public from the outbursts of psychopathic teenagers.

His accused killer, like the accused in another recent homicide, continued to rack up charges in the year after convictions for violent crimes but were not locked up. And they weren't the only ones exhibiting the catch-and-release pattern. Before carjacker Ricardo Gomes fired a shot at a driver on Corydon who resisted, he also had priors. The drug addict was convicted of almost choking out a cop in front of her son, biting another and then got into it with a third. He skipped court. He had insisted to Judge Don Slough “I don't want to be one of those people who are coming in and out of jail all my life.” But that's what he's become. - The bizarre hostage-taking of four in West Broadway ended with police shooting a 52 year old man. He was a suspect in the death of a BC trucker who was found in the Manitoba Housing building at 25 Furby after going missing. The mystery started with the truck of Farah Mohamud being found on the parking lot of the Sherbrook Hotel 2 blocks away- where. listeners are reminded, the Langside mass murder case in November also had a connection. - Marty explains, the system is falling apart, and does the math of how the 40+ homicide cases with so many defendants can result in more court trials than Wab Kinew's justice department can manage. He ran on the premise of being tough on crime- but his commitment may be overtaken by demands from his far-left hug-a-thug cabinet and a strained budget. In 2024, TGCTS will continue to be a voice for victims of crime, the community looking over their shoulders, and survivors deserving justice.

Episode 28 is a Crime Courts and Public Safety report: shocking developments in Winnipeg have submarined a public relations effort by prominent officials to portray our city as "the best blend of everything Canada has to offer." A Saturday Globe and Mail clickbait article of "Canada's most liveable cities" placed Winnipeg at #3 Overall. WRHA head honcho Dr. Joss Reimer took to Twitter to cheerlead the rankings. But while Reimer, Mayor Scott Gillingham, and the urban visionary messiahs hopped on the bandwagon - "#1 for raising kids!" - another set of 'data-driven rankings' exposed the absurdity of their campaign. Because as the Globe piece said, "Even if you could afford to live there, would you want to?" Marty Gold reveals the Crime Severity Index and the inconvenient facts that MSM won't tell Winnipeg. You'll hear how just how violent StatsCAN says Winnipeg scores at after the 8 year term of Brian Bowman as Mayor, and which categories we are shamefully number one in. This is his legacy. Among neighborhoods with a violence score over 700, Winnipeg make up 9 of the most 10 dangerous in the country - and 17 of the worst 26. And at number 26: West Broadway. 16:57 Part 2 - We recap the mystery surrounding the shooting spree inside a Langside St. rooming house on Sunday morning - with unreported details of the history of the property and of the drug-dealing past of one of the 4 victims. A local newspaper managed to print 2 different versions of life on Langside, but only one is correct. We compare a local government-funded community patrol claim that "West Broadway is normally a pretty quiet neighborhood" with the lived experience of a mother who "has heard yelling and fighting and gunshots often in the area." You can decide who lied. Also- an unaccomplished Liberal MP from gang-ridden Surrey, BC, tried to twist the killings into an online attack on Trudeau's opponents - and in short order Ken Hardie was exposed as a total moron for even suggesting the killings were "far-right". Meanwhile, a suburban City Councilor got the same treatment from critics for inserting the dog-whistle word "hate" into his post, which even riled up a usually mild-mannered downtown businessman. Hear all about it. 38:04 Part 3 - Court time is coming up for the Hamas-supporting "Queers4Palestine" and the other radical antisemites in Winnipeg. The railroad companies want a court injunction to stop further interference with their operations. Guess what the train-blockers were chanting for on November 20th? That's right, more killing of Jews. And they aren't alone. As you will hear, TGCTS has learned Winnipeg police are investigating an online hate-spouting video that included a well-known Winnipegger among a group praising Hamas and Hitler. Of course, they'll claim they're just "pro-Palestinian". In conclusion, Marty warns that there's a morally deceptive movement funded by Iran and other anti-West elements who want to turn our society against the concept of "Never Again".

In the spring of 2009, Edwin Gonzalez and his girlfriend, Lillian Otero, fled their house in Gardner, MA, less than one year after moving into what they believed was their dream home. Later, once they were safely away from the old Victorian, Gonzalez and Otero would explain to friends and family that they had been driven out by angry ghosts who had done everything—including possessing Lillian—in order to torment them, leaving them no other options than to abandon the house that had once held such promise. Although they didn't know it when they moved in, Gonzalez and Otero's home, the S.K. Pierce Mansion, had long been considered by locals to be haunted. Indeed, in its more than one-hundred-year history, the Victorian home had seen more than its fair share of tragedies, including several deaths in the house as recent as the 1960s, as well as countless other unsavory myths and legends.Thank you to Dave White for research assistance.

The last few years were tough on everyone. Loyalties tested and dreams shattered. What happens when two titans of the fitness world butt heads on matters or principle (or lack thereof)? The boys recap the Gimli show and discuss the upcoming Canada's Strongest Man event. Tyler got a famous video of a fight that occurred in West Broadway. Chances are you've already seen it and have no idea he recorded it! Tyler also calls out a certain sports organization for not supporting events outside of their wheelhouse. Will this cause a blowback? Let's find out together! Lace up your chucks and pull up your panties!

Listener feedback on some recent podcast topics, and a brief recap of two court decisions that embarassed the City of Winnipeg, opens Episode 36. This first segment points towards follow-ups in upcoming episodes- such as the alarming delay of an ambulance in St. Boniface. Those may become more commonplace if the City rams through proposed bike lanes. Marty also speaks about the passing of longtime family friend Norman Freedman, who contributed so much to our city as a social worker, volunteer and community leader. 17:39 - It's the first TGCTS interview of the 2023 provincial election! Last week Marty ventured to a fundraiser at the Pony Corral to meet a Progressive Conservative candidate poised to try to do the unthinkable- break the NDP hammerlock on constituencies north of the 53rd parallel. Listeners will hear Sports Minister Obby Khan prime the enthusiastic and multi-ethnic crowd with a distinctly non-partisan message about the Conservative's efforts to woo voters in the 16 remote communities of Keewatinook, and then hear from the candidate himself. 25:18 - Michael Birch is a newcomer to politics but no newcomer to making things happen. Birch brings voters a resume featuring an extensive background in business development, working with First Nations communities. As the Tories look to open a new northern front in the seat-by-seat battle to win the election, Birch says, "We're not going in this to lose!" In a fast and fun interview, he describes his platform of reforming the "welfare dependent state" and creating economic prosperity in those remote communities by expanding mining operations. Birch also reveals his secret weapon- a campaign team that once dislodged an NDP deputy premier. Marty assesses the Tory campaign tactics in light of polls showing a neck and neck race- do they improve the chances to upend the NDP and inch towards re-election? **  Chip in this week to ensure more great election reporting ** - Online via ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠paypal.com/paypalme/MartyGoldMedia⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠ 38:49 Part 2- Two items under the Crime tab you'll want to hear about: 1) A listener sent along a link to a TV news story about Premier Stefanson's commitment for increased public safety funding for downtown. He figured Marty might have some observations. Sure thing! How was the headline for the video misleading? Hear why the true nature of the extremist group that Winnipeg newsrooms love to platform is hardly "grassroots". 2) Marty reads aloud an online commentary by a River Heights property owner who has had to call the cops 15 - fifteen - times this year. "I agree with all the cameras they are putting downtown … it's about time! But that does nothing to help Osborne Village, West Broadway, Wolseley, Crescentwood, etc." She went into specific shocking details you won't believe- police response was rare and when they did show up, removing the problematic criminals was not their priority. And this wasn't about loitering- the cases included church, garage and car break-ins, a wanted murder suspect, and a vandal toting around a giant hammer. "I am thoroughly disgusted with this neighbourhood and this city. The crime in River Heights/ Crescentwood is rampant!" At the end of the episode, Marty notes who her city councilor is- John Orlikow. A few observations are voiced about Orlikow denouncing a court ruling that will costs taxpayers $5M in damages to Gem Equities. While bureaucrats he was pressuring "were aware their conduct was unlawful and likely to cause harm to the plaintiffs", do the facts back up his claim that his ethics and conduct in the scandal were above reproach and the court got it wrong? In coming episodes, listeners will hear the judge's findings about Orlikow quoted directly from her ruling, and more comments about the case - from a former city hall insider. ********** - JOIN OUR FACEBOOK GROUP ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/TGCTS⁠ - To sponsor podcasts / contribute support by email: martygoldlive@gmail.com

A group of prominent music North Side Minneapolis music people are creating a Minneapolis Sound Museum. Sure there is Paisley Park which documents Prince, they say, but what about the other talented players who created the famed Minneapolis Sound. On June 7 at 6PM, the Capri Theater on West Broadway hosts a fund raiser for Museum with a featured panel who'll discuss the Minneapolis Sound. Drummer and producer Jellybean Johnson is on the panel will on hand, and when he talked to Phil Nusbaum, he told of forming a hit group with some of his north side pals.

North Minneapolis residents have lived for decades with cycles of economic boom and bust. Over the years, excitement over new grocery stores, coffee shops, small businesses and other pillars of neighborhood life often gave way to frustration as storefronts shuttered and food deserts grew.The area took a hit in February when Aldi closed its grocery store at Penn and Lowry Avenues, forcing longer bus rides or walks for many residents and leading some to worry another pendulum swing, a new era of community instability, was at hand.This time, though, a corps of professionals, many with ties to north Minneapolis, intend to rewrite the economic story of north Minneapolis. They're making plans to invest and build in ways they say are equitable and sustainable long term.They include entrepreneur Timothy Childs, who said he intends to raise $100 million in public and private funds to expand his four technology companies in north Minneapolis over the next two years. One company, TLC Precision Wafer Technology, counts NASA, the U.S. Air Force and aerospace giant Lockheed Martin as clients. Childs said he expects to create at least 300 jobs among his companies.“I consider north Minneapolis a place of great resources and talent that is overlooked and a lot of times mischaracterized,” he said. “But when people really look into Minneapolis … I think one would have to step back and realize the north side is not only a state resource but a national resource."The Black-owned Twin Cities-based aerospace company Ion Corp. is also expanding into north Minneapolis and expected to create 100 jobs, said Warren McLean, president of the nonprofit Northside Economic Opportunity Network (NEON). “Successful entrepreneurs are committing resources to north Minneapolis intentionally ... which has never happened, not to my knowledge,” he said. “Particularly not to the scale that is happening, with the sophistication that's there.”McLean said he hopes to turn north Minneapolis into a Silicon Valley for local entrepreneurs.“We want to help change the culture. It's a change of mindset that says we have the capacity … we have the wherewithal to, and we have the creativity to create things in north Minneapolis,” he said.‘Been through this multiple times'Conversations about life in north Minneapolis are punctuated by stories of good times and bad.In his teen years in the 1980s, Roger Cummings worked with young people painting murals in north Minneapolis. The gig placed him in a community where the street scene filled him with wonder and a cultural life that included the Young Brothers barbershop, an Elks Lodge and the Phyllis Wheatley Community Center, which was known for attracting drum corps from around the country.“King's market was on Plymouth. That was a big place that people would go. There was a graffiti wall on the back of King's that people used to do their pieces on,” he recalled. “You would walk up and down Plymouth just to hang out just, you know, see girls, see people driving up and down the street with the nice cars,” he said. “Plymouth was popping.”Drugs changed the area in the mid to late 1980s, said Cummings, now the chief cultural producer and co-founder of Juxtaposition Arts. “King's shut down … McDonald's went away … Plymouth Avenue started to kind of atrophy a little bit,” he said. “It didn't have the energy that it once had.”Civil upheaval and riots during the late 1960s contributed to the flight of white business owners and residents. Economic disinvestment followed the exodus. Advocates say local government has sometimes been a hindrance to making things better in the decades since.The city has poured tens of millions of dollars into public and private ventures meant to spur economic development on the north side. But challenges posed by socioeconomic disparities and crime persists in sections of north Minneapolis. For years city and business leaders have pondered a chicken-and-egg type of question: which comes first economic development or public safety?Empty properties owned by the city or Hennepin County have been commonplace since the 1967 riots, said Kristel Porter, executive director of West Broadway Business and Area Coalition.“You know, I'm now in my 40s … I remember being younger than 10 and seeing some of those same properties where there's nothing going on there still to this day,” she said. “I never quite understood it. And actually, I thought it was my community's problem when I was a kid, like,  why can't we just get our act together?”Porter says the goals of city programs that offer land rights have fallen short of expectations. The byzantine steps can overwhelm newcomers to the lengthy process. And the city's attempt to help with the process by offering technical assistance courses are challenging to some who are opening their first business.Then there's the difficulty of obtaining a business loan from banks wary of investing in the north side. She says most of the 79 businesses along West Broadway have not relied on loans. They rely instead on saving up or using tax refunds to invest in their enterprise, Porter explained. Feasibility studies in north Minneapolis are nonstarters for some banks.“I'm not going to get a loan, because they're going to look at the market, they're going to look at the area median income, and they're going to say, it's just not going to be profitable,” she said.Erik Hansen, director of economic policy and development at the city agency Community Planning and Economic Development, cited the Two Percent Loan program as one that's making a difference. That initiative, in which the city spends $2.2 million annually to absorb some of the loan risks, helps businesses obtain capital.The agency also has a fund that helps developers and businesses in Minneapolis's hardest hit areas to buy and own real estate, Hansen says. About 70 percent of the programs' participants are Black, Indigenous and entrepreneurs of color, he adds.“So there's a number of projects that are on the north side that the city helped support.”Aldi's closure in February rekindled the trauma of past losses. “We've been through this multiple times. And it begs the question for me, why aren't our lives valued in north Minneapolis, in the same ways they're valued in other parts of the city?” said food justice advocate DeVon Nolen. “Downtown Minneapolis has 56,000 people and four full service grocery stores. We have one for over 67,000 people.”Food, art and jobsThose working now to make sure north Minneapolis doesn't end up in another economic roller coaster ride envision success on multiple fronts. Jobs are important, they say, but so are food and cultural life.NEON will break ground in October to construct a building for its commercial kitchen and food business incubator, an investment McLean values at $18 million to $20 million. The project aims to help food entrepreneurs with the business side of launching an eatery or food truck.The Black-led Juxtaposition Arts will hold an open house June 2 to welcome the public to its new three-and-a-half story building. The project's costs came to about $13 million.  Related reading Earlier Helping north Minneapolis rebuild — and putting businesses on more solid ground 2009 Developers hope new project spurs business in north Minneapolis 2010 Mpls. commercial kitchen an incubator for food-based small businesses The nonprofit organization Appetite for Change hosts garden plots across the north side. Fruits and vegetables harvested on these plots are sold at the West Broadway Farmers Market. Another Appetite for Change program emphasizes cooking education, ideas for healthier food options.Childs is raising funding for $100 million expansion from private and public sources. He said he will seek a grant from the Small Business Innovative Research program, a federal effort that funds innovative technology. The company is also raising equity through sales of shares.Childs says he's applying for funds from the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, the federal law intended to boost semiconductor research and manufacturing in the United States. TLC Millimeter Wave Products have patented chips that are manufactured abroad.“So we would like to bring that back onshore, back into Minnesota,” he said. “And that'll even bring more jobs and opportunity into Minneapolis, but also funding for us to expand.” The talent and people of north Minneapolis are ‘tremendous,' Childs said. He said they have been leaders in music, business and other fields. But, he said, confidently, that north siders will soon lead in high tech and artificial intelligence.

Indigenous agricultural practices kept our ancestors alive for millenia. They not only fed their own communities but also taught settlers how to grow food across this vast territory. Indigenous people, like Cree-Métis Winnipegger Audrey Logan, keep that tradition alive and growing! Audrey's whole life revolves around growing food. It has to. We tour Spirit Park, a community garden she helped create, in the West Broadway neighbourhood where she shares her journey from being depressed, overweight and diabetic to a healthy-eating Indigenous garden guru! Over in Tyendinaga, Chloe Maracle is carrying seeds for the next 7 Generations. We dig deep and learn about the 300 seed varieties kept at the Kenhteke Seed Sanctuary and Learning Centre. The Haudenosaunee intern is not just learning how to care for the vast collection but is also growing that list to include at-risk varieties important to her people. Food insecurity has been a concern in many Indigenous communities for years. A 2019 study found that almost half of all First Nations families struggle to put food on the table. But people like Steven Wiig and Julia Pechawis are trying to change that. They turned a farmers field into a food forest in Muskeg Lake Cree Nation, Saskatchewan.

Patricia Bryant stepped out of the cab in front of the Walgreens pharmacy on West Broadway and was greeted by signs announcing its closing. After March 6, her cab rides get longer and more expensive. Shari Brandt felt a similar blow when the Aldi on Penn Avenue North closed for good on Feb. 12. It had been an affordable choice amid the soaring supermarket prices to feed her family of five. The news that North Minneapolis would lose a grocery store and pharmacy came in the same week and, while a shock, was hardly surprising to some residents who see the closings as just two more cases of disinvestment in their community. The closing of Walgreens leaves Minneapolis with one pharmacy, inside Cub Foods. Cub, 701 West Broadway Ave. N. Cub is one of three remaining grocery stores that include North Market, 4414 Humboldt Ave, N., and So Low Grocery Outlet, 3111 Emerson Ave. N. “It's a huge blow,” said Minneapolis City Councilwoman LaTrisha Vetaw, whose Ward 4 covers North Minneapolis north of Lowry Avenue. “I mean we have so many challenges already and to have one around food... another essential... This is just so heartbreaking. I am very sad to hear that Walgreens is closing. Our community can not afford to keep taking big hits like these.” Both Aldi and Walgreens were located on major bus routes and were critical stops for residents without transportation. Neighborhood Facebook pages hosted pictures of specials at Aldi and its discounts helped shoppers whose budgets were otherwise pinched by soaring food prices. Aldi executives told Vetaw the Penn Avenue location did not fit plans underway nationwide for store expansion and remodeling. Vetaw said the building owner was willing to work with the growing supermarket giant. North News talked to an unnamed employee who said theft and an inability to attract people to job openings at the pharmacy were behind the closing. Support the showSign Up For Exclusive Episodes At: https://reasonabletv.com/LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for new videos every day. https://www.youtube.com/c/NewsForReasonablePeople

What you'll learn in this episode: Why sacred geometry is the underlying link between Eva's work in jewelry, architecture and design How growing up in an isolated Soviet Bloc country influenced Eva's creative expression Why jewelry is one of the most communicative art forms How Eva evaluates jewelry as a frequent jewelry show judge Why good design should help people discover new ideas and apply them in other places  About Eva Eisler A star of the Prague art world, Eva Eisler is an internationally recognized sculptor, furniture/product designer, and jeweler. Rooted in constructivist theory, her structurally-based objects project a unique spirituality by nature of their investment with “sacred geometry.” The current series of necklaces and brooches, fabricated from stainless steel, are exemplars of this aesthetic. In 2003, she developed a line of sleek, stainless steel tabletop objects for mono cimetric design in Germany.  Eisler is also a respected curator and educator. She is chairman of the Metal and Jewelry Department at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, where she heads the award-winning K.O.V. (concept-object-meaning) studio. Her work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum and Cooper-Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.; Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in Canada; Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich; and Museum of Decorative Arts, Prague, among others.  Additional Resources: Eva's Instagram Photos available on TheJeweleryJourney.com Transcript: Eva Eisler is the rare designer who works on projects as small as a ring and as large as a building. What connects her impressive portfolio of work? An interest in sacred geometry and a desire to discover new ideas that can be applied in multiple ways. She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about how she communicates a message through jewelry; why jewelry students should avoid learning traditional techniques too early; and her thoughts on good design. Read the episode transcript here.    Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the first part of a two-part episode. Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it's released later this week.    My guest today is Eva Eisler, s. She's probably one of the most well-known artists in the Czech Republic. Her work is minimal and refined. She also designs clothing, furniture, sculpture and so many other things I can't tell you about. She has taught and studied at Parsons School of Design, and she'll fill us in on everything she's learned. I'm sure I'm leaving something out, but she'll fill us in today. Eva, welcome to the program.   Eva: Thank you for having me.   Sharon: Great to have you. Tell us about your jewelry journey. Did you study it? Were you artistic as a youth?   Eva: I only thought about this yesterday. You're the first person I'm going to tell this story to. During the war, my grandfather, because he was very practical and forward-thinking, was buying jewelry from people who needed money to have safety deposits for later, whatever happened after the war. When I was born in 1952, there was still a little bit left of the treasure he collected and enclosed in a beautiful wooden treasure box. When I was a good girl, I could play with real jewelry in gold and stones.    When I grew older, I never thought of jewelry as something I would design. It was something I could play with as a girl, but when I got older, living in a communist country—Czechoslovakia turned into a Soviet Bloc country after the war—everything was so gray and constrained and monotonous. People were afraid to say whatever they thought, and I was feeling that I had to start something provocative, to start some kind of dialogue about different things. So, I started making jewelry, but because I didn't know any techniques, I did it in the form of ready-mades, looking for different metal parts out of machines, kitchen utensils, a stainless-steel shower hose, a clock spring, sunglasses, all different things. I didn't know people like that existed somewhere else, like Anni Albers, who in the 40s created a beautiful necklace out of paperclips. I learned that much, much later.   I was not only making jewelry. I was also making lamps and small sculptures, because creating things always made me happy. My mother was an art teacher. My father was a scientist. He was one of the founders of robotics in the 50s, and he ended up teaching at the most famous universities around the world later on. That's how I started making jewelry, but I wanted to proceed with a profession in architecture. That was always my main interest. After school, I worked for a few years as an architect. Later on, I got married and had children, and I wanted to be free from a steady job and do what I loved most, create.   Sharon: When you were an architect, were you designing buildings?   Eva: I was part of a team for experience. I was given smaller tasks that I had to do, mostly parts of the interior.   Sharon: Did you do sculpture and jewelry on the side? Your sculpture is such a big part.   Eva: Yeah, we're talking about when I was 25, 26. In 1983, my husband and I and our two children moved to New York, because John was invited by Richard Maier to come and work for him. That was a big challenge that one should not refuse. So, we did the journey, even though it was not easy with two little children.   Sharon: Did you speak English at all, or did you have to learn when you came?   Eva: I did because my father, in the 60s, when it was possible, was on a contract with Manchester University in England teaching. Me and my brothers went there for summer vacations for two years. One year, I was sent to one of his colleagues to spend the summer, and then I married John, who is half-British. His British mother didn't speak Czech, so I had to learn somehow. But it was in Europe when I got really active, because I needed to express my ideas.   Sharon: Does your jewelry reflect Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic? It's different than jewelry here, I think.   Eva: There were quite a few people who were working in the field of contemporary avant garde jewelry. I can name a few: Anton Setka, Wasoof Siegler. Those were brilliant artists whose work is part of major museums around the world, but I was not focused on this type of work when I still lived in the Czech Republic, Czechoslovakia at that time. It was when I arrived in New York. I thought, “What am I going to do? I have two little children. Should I go and look for a job in some architecture office?” It would be almost impossible if you don't have the means to hire babysitters and all the services. So, I thought, “I have experience with jewelry. I love it, and I always made it as a means of self-expression and a tool for communication. O.K., I am going to try to make jewelry, but from scratch, not as a ready-made piece out of components that I would find somewhere.”    I didn't know any techniques. Somebody gave me old tools after her late husband died. I started trying something, and I thought, “Maybe I can take a class.” I opened the Yellow Pages looking at schools, and I closed my eyes and pointed my finger at one of the schools and called there. This woman answered the phone, and she said, “Why don't you come and see me and show me what you did?” When I showed it to her, she said, “Are you kidding? You should be teaching here.” It was one of my ready-made pieces. Actually, a few years before I came to New York, I went to London and showed it to Barbara Cartlidge, who had the first gallery for contemporary jewelry anywhere in the world in London. She loved it. She loved my work, and she bought five pieces. She took my work seriously, because basically I was playing and wearing it myself and giving it to a few friends who would get it as a present. So, I was shocked and very pleased.    This is what I showed this woman at the Parsons School of Design. This woman was the chair that took care of the department. I said, “I cannot teach here. I don't know anything,” and she said, “Well, clearly you do, but you're right. You should take a class and get to know how the school works, and maybe we can talk about you teaching here a year later.” I took a foundation course in jewelry making. It was Deborah Quado(?) who taught it. One day she said to my classmates, “This woman is dangerous.” I forgot to say that before I started this class, the chair invited me to a party at her house to introduce me to her colleagues. It was funny, because I was fresh out of the Czech Republic, this isolated, closed country, and I was in New York going to a party. I needed those people that became my friends for life.    That was a super important beginning of my journey in New York into the world of jewelry. A few years later, when I made my first collection, someone suggested I show it to Helen Drutt. I had no idea who Helen Drutt was. She was somewhere in Philadelphia. I went there by train, and Helen is looking at the work and says, “Would you mind if I represent your work in the gallery?” I said, “Well, sure, that's great,” but I had no idea that this was the beginning of something, like a water drain that pulls me in. The jewelry world pulled me in, and I was hooked.    From then on, I continued working and evolving my work. When I started teaching at Parsons, students would ask me whether they could learn how to solder and I said, “I advise you not to learn any traditional techniques because when you do, you will start making the same work as everybody else. You should give it your own way of putting things together.” At the end, I did teach them how to solder, and I was right.    I tried to continue with the same techniques I started when I was making these ready-made pieces, but with elements I created myself. Then I tried to put it together held by tension and different springs and flexible circles. I got inspired by bridges, by scaffolding on buildings, by electric power towers. I was transforming it into jewelry, and it got immediate attention from the press and from different galleries and collectors. I was onto something that kept me in the field, but eventually, when my kids grew older, this medium was too small for me. I wanted to get larger. Eventually, I did get back into designing interiors, but it was not under my own name.   Sharon: When you look at your résumé, it's hard to distill it down. You did everything, sculpture, architecture, interior design and jewelry. It's very hard to distill down. Interior design, does it reflect the avant garde aspect?   Eva: Yes, I am trying to do it my way. I love to use plywood and exposed edges to make it look very rough, but precise in terms of the forms. If you think of Donald Judd, for example, and his sculptures and nice furniture, it's a similar direction, but I'm trying to go further than that. I'm putting together pieces of furniture and vitrines for exhibitions and exhibition designs. While I am taking advantage of the—   Sharon: Opportunity?   Eva: Opportunity, yes. Sorry. I don't have that many opportunities lately to speak English, so my English is—   Sharon: It's very good.    Eva: On the other hand, yes, I'm interested in doing all these things, especially things that I never did before. I always learn something, but it's confusing to the outside world. “So, what is she? What is she trying to say?” For example, this famous architectural historian and critic, Kenneth Frampton from Columbia University, once said, “If one day somebody will look at your architectural works all together, they will understand that it's tight with a link, an underlying link.”    Sharon: Do you think you have an underlying link? Is it the avant garde aspect? What's your underlying link?   Eva: It's the systems. It's the materials. It's the way it's constructed. I'm a humble worshipper of sacred geometry. I like numbers that have played an important role in the past.   Sharon: Do you think the jewelry you saw when you came to the States was different than what you had seen before? Was it run-of-the-mill?   Eva: When I came to New York a few years later, I formed a group because I needed to have a connection. I organized a traveling show for this group throughout Europe and the group was—   Sharon: In case people don't know the names, they are very well-known avant garde people.    Eva: All these people were from New York, and we exhibited together at Forum Gallery and Robert Lee Morris on West Broadway. That brought us together a few times in one show, and through the tours I organized in New York, Ghent, Frankfurt, Berlin, Vienna and Prague.   Sharon: Wow! We will have photos posted on the website.

Michael McClard arrived in New York in 1973 with a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, where he also won a Peabody Award in Sculpture. He soon made his mark on the art scene as a member of a highly original group of young artists who helped to revive an interest in painting and visual performance. He was a founding member of the noted artists' support  group Colab and its first chairman. Sidestepping the confines  of abstract conceptual art,  McClard's work seethes with figurative content; yet it has nevertheless retained a conceptual element and mines a strong vein of humor. During the 70s he staged provocative  performances such as « Foes v. Foes » at the Kitchen and  surreal, carnivalesque installations at venues such as the Clocktower (« There's Meat on these Bones ») ; PS 1, Institute for Art and Urban Resources,  De Appel, Amersterdam and N.A.M.E Gallery, Chicago. For these presentations, he constructed all sets and props and performed, often as sole actor. His one-act play, « Mumbo Jumbo, » was published in Avalanche 12, Winter 1975. In October 1981, his first large-scale one-man show of paintings and frescoes took place at Mary Boone, occupying both galleries on either side of West Broadway. Drawing on sources from  mythology, history and  everyday life, he created a pantheon of imaginary characters, notable for their tactile raw energy, range of facial expressiveness and astute power of observation. Also featured were  inventive depictions of historical scenes,  acclaimed by critics such as Grace Glueck of the New York Times for their verve and by Hal Foster of Art in America for their metaphysical insights. Many of these works were acquired by New York and Los Angeles public and private collectors. During this period  McClard was also awarded two fellowships by the National Endowment for the Arts, in Visual Arts and Mixed Media. In the 90s McClard took a temporary hiatus from painting to explore new media. He embraced the digital revolution and applied his draughtsmanship skills to the creation of original software with his brother Peter McClard through their dotcom enterprise, Hologramophone Research.  The computer installation «Characters» furthered his interest in human physiognomy by generating an unlimited sequence of drawings of faces and was exhibited in « A visage découvert, » Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain, Jouy-en Josas, France.

Located in the heart of north Minneapolis on West Broadway in the Five Points Building, KMOJ would surprise any bicentennial time travelers who knew it as a barely-there operation spread between two apartments in the Glenwood Projects. It crept onto local airwaves with a budget of less than $50,000. Sometimes records would skip on-air after someone stomped on the floor. Founded in 1976 by the Center for Communications and Development, KMOJ was originally WMOJ because FCC naming conventions assigned W call letters to station transmitters east of the Mississippi River.  Its transmitting power was 10 milliwatts — a range of four to six blocks — and its operating budget came courtesy of grants from the Lutheran Church and state of Minnesota. It became KMOJ in 1978. Today, according to its management, KMOJ is a million-dollar business, which would be an astronomical sum for a community station just starting out 46 years ago. But, it's on the low-end for a contemporary broadcaster.  Regardless of how much money the station has in the bank, the mission remains the same, to: “Teach communities of color media skills that help reinstate the positive affirmative Black image.” KMOJ's morning show co-host, Chantel SinGs, says she knows that the message of positivity is reaching its desired audience. She's reminded daily of the power of a Black-run radio station for a Black community. “I had a caller that called me, crying,” she said. “She was crying and talking about the events that happened in Buffalo, New York, where 10 African Americans were shot and killed by a white supremacist shooter.  “She said that it affected her so badly, she couldn't get through her workday. “She's sitting in her car, crying at 7:30 in the morning. She can't go into her workplace. She's thinking she needs some words of encouragement. Some kind of guidance. And, she calls KMOJ.” General Manager Freddie Bell says he's seen similar displays of connection from listeners.  “If we do the right things. If we focus on the mission — number one, to train broadcasters and number two, to provide for the needs of our listeners — we can't lose,” he said. “And, as best as I can tell, we're doing a wonderful job of staying true to our mission.”  After more than 40 years working at the station, Walter “Q” Bear Banks is a true believer. Banks is the station's afternoon drive time on-air personality. He's a tall, powerfully built man with a smile that rivals the 1,400 watts of the station's transmitter. He possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of the north side, the Minneapolis Sound, Prince and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and all matters related to KMOJ.  “There's a lot to radio, but even in the processing of everything that's there, you have to have an understanding of self and community when it comes to KMOJ radio,” he said, “because that's what its purpose is about. If you are not looking into the community side, then there's no sense in being there.” Courtesy of Freddie Bell Photos taken over the years of different hosts and guests of KMOJ. Early troubles Motown legend Marvin Gaye had a hit song in 1972 called “Trouble Man” four years before the station was founded. There have been eras in the station's history when it felt like Gaye wrote it with KMOJ in mind.   In 1983, the station's founding management team, General Manager Jeanette Cotton and development officer Brian Allen, were fired by the station's board and barred from entering the building. The pair countersued for wrongful termination.  There have been several instances when staff or taxes weren't paid. The station went silent for a short time in 1988 because of transmitter issues.  In 2016 a group named Concerned Citizens of KMOJ accused the board of putting the station at risk.  Reverend Ewald “Joe” Bash was a liaison for the Lutheran Church's grant, which effectively created the station. In 1978, he told the media that WMOJ and its target audience had their work cut out for them. “Realistically, we're an awfully long way from doing what needs to be done in the Cities,” he said. "How do you undo the damage of whole lifetimes of being put down, of being denied jobs on one hand and being punished for being out of work on the other, of hate, hurt and hostility?” Caroline Yang for MPR News Freddie Bell operates the control panels while hosting KMOJ's The Morning Show on May 27. An act of faith Today, visitors see few signs of those past hardships. They walk into a tasteful suite of offices and studios with muted tan carpets and deep red and blue walls. The effect is professional, soothing. The gold and black KMOJ logo, shaped like the medallion of a 90s era rapper, dominates the main studio and imparts a slight bit of hip hop edginess. Bell, who also serves as Chantel SinGs morning co-host, wants to push the station's financial troubles even deeper into the past.  On a whiteboard in his office, he's written a multi-million-dollar figure in black marker — a year-long stretch goal for his six-person management team.  Behind his desk, an ancient Philco radio, shiny and wooden, shares space with a montage of photos of his daughter who recently graduated from college with a degree in communications. Bell is so immersed in the medium he might as well emit radio waves. He is the latest in a line of roughly a dozen KMOJ station managers, reaching back to co-founder Jeannette Cotton, responsible for leading the station to its current state of relative solvency. Bell knew the station's humble history when he was hired in 2016. Still, he left a well-paying job with a white-owned commercial station when KMOJ's board of directors hit an impasse with its station manager.  Bell's move was an act of faith. He felt indebted to KMOJ because his volunteer service there led to a commercial radio position. He quit his job and came on board as General Manager.  A few of his predecessors worked without pay for stretches of time, just to ensure the station kept going.  The station's financial situation was so tenuous when Bell took over that he kept a resignation letter at the ready, just in case. Caroline Yang for MPR News Chantel SinGs co-hosts KMOJ's The Morning Show with Freddie Bell. A rich tradition KMOJ's financial struggles and deep connection to its audience is part of a rich tradition. Black radio stations girded the success of the Civil Rights Movement. They were the town criers calling listeners to rallies and protests. DJs in Deep South states like Alabama broadcast coded messages to alert their audiences about locations for protests, times and police presence — reminiscent of the old negro spirituals that helped slaves plot their escapes. That's the legacy upheld by KMOJ and a scant 43 other Black-run public radio stations across the U.S.  “It's a market that's hanging on by a string,” says Paul Billings, founder and president of WUVS, 103.7 The Beat, a Black-run public radio station in Muskegon, Michigan.  “[From] the government and on the corporate side, Black radio has always been the stepchild when it comes to advertising and underwriting dollars  … there's never really been a strong advocacy there.” Black radio stations, both commercial and public, are fragile unicorns. Black-owned commercial stations make up a little more than one percent of the nation's 11,000 radio stations. The number of Black-owned stations reached a high of more than 250 stations, thanks to the FCC's Minority Ownership Policy of 1978. However, Clinton era deregulation dropped the number to fewer than 180. Billings says there is little political appetite to level the playing field for Black-run stations, either commercial or public. Advertisers call the shots in the radio business. Their purchases ultimately decide which audiences are worth the billions spent in radio advertising each year. A typical strategy for media buyers, he says, is to assume they can reach enough of the Black audience through ad buys with white-owned media.  Billings says it's a reality Black stations want to change, but accept for the present. It's a matter of survival. Caroline Yang for MPR News Freddie Bell, of Minneapolis, chats with co-host of KMOJ's The Morning Show, Chantel SinGs, during a break. Job one, Bell said, is to bolster the community-focused mission and keep the station alive, no matter the distractions.  “I don't care what organization it is; people all have their own ideas. They have their own ways of life,” he said. “But, making sure the station was financially solvent, that was the Big Lift and continues to be the Big Lift. “I didn't want to be the guy [with] the headline, ‘KMOJ fails because of Freddie Bell.' Nobody wants to see that. Nobody wants that to happen under their watch. I was determined that wasn't going to happen. Continuing the mission Bell says the station's latest, greatest achievement is melded to its mission of training young people of color. The Ice, touted as Minnesota's first urban hip hop station, is broadcast on its KMOJ HD2 channel. It offers young, hip hop DJs a nerve-wracking training ground which includes  tens of thousands of listeners.  “Oh, this is live,” said a staff person when asked if trainees ever made mistakes on the expensive and complex soundboard. “They'll make mistakes, but they won't do it twice.”  Bell is particularly proud of the journalism training a diverse group of young women received under the Racial Reckoning: The Arc of Justice initiative. The project is a 10-month joint effort of KMOJ, AMPERS and the Minnesota Humanities Center that reached a million listeners. Its five young journalists covered high-profile, breaking news stories such as the trial of Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer who killed George Floyd.  One of those young reporters, Chioma Uwagwu, shared her thoughts about the project on the station's website. “I never thought there could be journalists that were truly trusted in the community,” she said. “It was always, ‘there's journalists and there's community members.' And, sometimes community members would give their stories, but it always felt very transactional.” Uwagwu considers the project a solid step into a journalistic future that considers communities of color full partners in the news gathering process.  Bell's pride in the project's success may be due in part to the fact that KMOJ had no journalists on staff when he began his tenure.  Unluckily for him, that was a news-heavy 18 months starting in November 2015 when Jamar Clark was shot and killed by a police officer in north Minneapolis. Superstar Prince died suddenly at Paisley Park in April of 2016. Philando Castile was killed by a police officer later that summer sparking protests which made national news.  “All this happens and we didn't have a news department,” he said. “People were calling us, asking for reports. We didn't have a reporter. It was just us. I sent one of my producers, who wasn't a trained journalist, to the scene [of the protests following Clark's death].” Caroline Yang for MPR News A window in the KMOJ lobby. A small miracle That kind of privation is business as usual for Black radio stations, Billings said. Without sufficient funding, the stations have to be creative in most areas, including news gathering.  But, the landscape has changed since 2016 for both Billings' station WUVS and for KMOJ. “It's because of [Bell] and his leadership that we have Black news that's running on not only on our station, but on other stations across the country because he advocated for us to get this Black news for free,” Billings said.   “We have collaborated on talk shows, special editions, documentaries and those have made each one of our [stations] stronger.” KMOJ, with its sprawling, joyous, messy, under-appreciated history is still standing and Billings doesn't mind if you put your hands together for that small miracle.  “I think the community should be grateful that they have a voice, a vehicle that cares about their community that's been independent, not bought-out and has put the citizens, the listeners, first for four-plus decades,” he said.  “They should be happy that this radio station is still there, still dedicated to the same mission that they had when they started off: to empower the Black community of the Twin Cities. That's a strong commitment that KMOJ has given the people of Minneapolis-St. Paul. And, I hope that the people of that community have given KMOJ the same commitment.

Over the course of this past winter and spring, we've been offering a short series of ideaExchange sessions, exploring what it is about being in an urban space that has helped our expression of church to thrive. For this third session we invited Lynell Bergen, lead pastor of Hope Mennonite Church to share with us the experiences of their congregation in the West Broadway neighbourhood.

Adam Rose has lived the acting life in Hollywood since he was 9-years old, making his debut opposite Robin Williams and Julie Kavner in Woody Allen's Deconstructing Harry. With over 55 tinsel-town projects to date he's played roles on the sets of luminary directors and actors with credits that include The Sopranos, Veronica Mars, Netflix's Santa Clarita Diet, Supernatural, Merry Happy Whatever, and so many more. He's worked with Matthew Broderick, Matt Damon, Mark Ruffalo, and Anna Paquin, to name a few. As a writer, Adam sold his first pilot, PISSED, to Warner Bros. His short film, QUEEN, which he wrote and directed, screened at over 50 film festivals and won several awards. But back in 2009, he intuitively knew that social media would change how the world consumes content forever. At a time when most of his celebrity peers turned their noses up to anything "online," Adam began cultivating fans outside of his Hollywood projects. Today, Adam has amassed an enormous social media following, with over 3.7 million followers on TikTok and nearly half a million on Instagram, not to mention his growing YouTube. He's one of the most beloved creators with A-list brand deals, known for his viral comedy sketches, dances, and "lovely" wife, a character he plays opposite himself. In this episode, Adam and I unpack the question, "What drives the other: Does the traditional career drive a social following, or does a social following drive your traditional career?" It's an interesting debate. We dive into the story of digital identity and the famous blue cardigan that his fans are obsessed with, and how his community reacts to his content. Adam shares his content strategy, secrets to creativity, production schedule, and a typical day in his life. The whole episode is like a hug in your ear, full of warmth, comedy, and advice. *** This episode of LEAVE YOUR MARK is brought to you by Ever/Body, a New-York based cosmetic dermatology business that exists to thoughtfully support every body along their beauty journey.

“If you want to be a singer, you have to pack up your stuff and forget I'm your mom,” are the words Maria's mom warned. Her mom wanted her to grow up being financially independent, especially coming from Venezuela with limited opportunities. The concept of pursuing creative opportunities wasn't in her cards. It wasn't until Maria was in her 30's that she took a major leap of faith by leaving her well-paid and safe job as a corporate lawyer to follow her creativity and pursue a career in the art world. It's safe to say the risk paid off. Fast forward to the current day, and Maria is an award-winning contemporary art advisor to clients like Gwyneth Paltrow, curator, and author of the new title, How Creativity Rules the World: The Art and Business of Turning Your Ideas into Gold. You could say that Maria is a creativity guru with a knack for the intersection of art and business. In this episode, Maria shatters the lies we have been told since childhood about careers in creative fields and how her upbringing of being culturally educated led her to start the career of her dreams. Maria shares how one of the biggest factors she had to overcome was what people were going to say about her once she left her well-paid career as a corporate lawyer to pursue a career in the arts. Maria teaches how to cultivate your creative ideas and turn them into “gold.” This is an episode filled with intelligent and motivating advice on how you can transition to the job of your dreams. *** This episode of LEAVE YOUR MARK is brought to you by Ever/Body, a New-York based cosmetic dermatology business that exists to thoughtfully support every body along their beauty journey.

What does it feel like when your video goes viral? Chrissy Rutherford knows. She was shocked when her video captioned, “It's not enough to just say “I'm not racist, ” following the murder of George Floyd went viral, garnering over 5 million views in less than a day.

No one likes managing their money, but money expert and New York Times best-selling author of Boss Bitch, Rich Bitch, Becoming Super Woman, and now Miss Independent, Nicole Lapin, makes it easy. Have you ever wondered how millionaires make their money? Spoiler alert: it's not from saving money. My favorite money expert, Nicole Lapin, is back on LEAVE YOUR MARK with her new Wall Street Journal #2 bestselling book, Miss Independent. "Millionaires don't make their money just from their salaries, no matter how big their paychecks get. They have an average of seven additional streams of income, many of which are passive, meaning their money is making money for them while they sleep." Nicole had no choice but to learn the language of money, and empowering people to embrace and understand it has been her goal ever since. Nicole started out making $20K a year and getting into almost as much credit card debt. She never worked at a bank and didn't have an MBA. "I wasn't born into wealth or privilege. There were days when I didn't have food to put in my mouth, much less a silver spoon. For much of my early career, I either lived paycheck to paycheck, was in debt, and/or subsisted on a brown-rice-and-beans diet (it felt fancier than ramen). I tell you this because if I could become Miss Independent—totally financially set up and secure on my own—then anyone can, including you. I promise." Miss Independent is your best friend who knows and shares all the ins and out of saving money and investing it meaningfully. You don't have to understand finance to heed Nicole's advice. With in-depth tutorials and humor to boot, Nicole can transform your mindset to begin to think differently. In this episode, Nicole shares that she may not have been a financial expert, but she was an expert in being broke, and writing her four bestselling books was her way of teaching everything necessary to learn the language of finance. Nicole calls on a lot of BS cliches, and one of them, which she shared, was "knowledge is power," instead, Nicole says that 'action is power.' Nicole also points out that women can have it all, only if you define what 'it all' means for you and then stick to it rather than changing the goal post. *** This episode of LEAVE YOUR MARK is brought to you by Ever/Body, a New-York based cosmetic dermatology business that exists to thoughtfully support every body along their beauty journey.

Consider this the first Tri-Weekly Havok episode. Now, we had a 9/11 episode planned as part of our regularly scheduled programming. But I did this solo recording for two reasons: I really wanted to post something that would go out on 9/11 itself especially on a 9/11 as significant as this one and I didn't want to detract from our roundtable by diving too deeply into my personal 9/11 experiences. Thanks for indulging me in both the excruciatingly specific details and the vague recollections.   Have a listen here.   Show Alibis I really dropped the ball on some parts of my 9/11 story, so I'll try to make amends here. It's a damn shame since both are positive notes.   First, I mentioned that, on September 10th, I was supposed to work the graveyard shift at a law firm – Brown and Wood – which was located on the upper floors of one of the Towers. I also mentioned that I thought of the folks there as the towers were coming down. What I failed to mention was that, days later, I found out that every single employee of Brown and Wood survived the collapse – except one secretary who ran back up the stairs to retrieve her purse. As I say, I never enjoyed working at Brown and Wood, but I was relieved that they were alive and I was free to remember that I never much cared for the work environment there.   Second, I talked about scooping up cellphones that people dropped in their panic to escape down West Broadway. I should mention that I returned the cellphones to a local store a few days later and they were able to track down the owners – if I remember right, this was something a lot of cellphone stores were doing at the time to help out in the wake of 9/11. The store even called me to report back their gratitude that someone had retrieved their phone.   Which leads me to a last point that I really should have made on the show. In the days and weeks following 9/11, New York City was different than it has ever been before or since. It was like small town America. To ride the subway in the days following, everyone made eye contact, everyone smiled and said hellos and how are you's to each other. We all had a shared experience and it was a close bond. One that did not hold, obviously. But it was special and we all knew it was special, I think. The moments of Rudy Giuliani touring Ground Zero, President Bush speaking at Ground Zero and throwing out the first pitch of the World Series, those were special moments for New Yorkers. I remember seeing the first NFL game on TV and watching Ricky Watters of the Seattle Seahawks run onto the field waving an American flag with tears running down his face. We have come a long way since then. For better or worse. Maybe more of the latter than the former.   Show Notes Not mentioned on the show, but crucially important right now: Operation Recovery Save Our Allies No One Left Behind Pars Equality Center
