Windsor Pshychogeography with Spacing Magazine

Last night was one of the best nights (community meets entertainment) I have ever witnessed.

That’s saying a lot after booking live shows and events for five years.

Shawn Micallef popped down to Windsor for the holidays, but he reprised his role as “Spacing Magazine guy” and conduit to psychogeography know-how on Sunday. Of course, this all was a success because of Shawn and the help and sponsorship (promotionally) from Chris Holt of Scaledown.ca and Andrew Foot of International Metropolis.

We began by getting chart paper taped together (thank Chris, Nancy, and Andrew) and getting it on a wall where the mapping of our psychogeography walk would end up. Shawn set up a Google Earth Map of Windsor on his computer, and we projected it onto the paper. It shot directly across a normal sight line (and busy space) in the back of the bar. Why would we do this? Shawn thought it was a great way to integrate people at the bar into the process, even if they were not actually participating in the walk or the recording of the walk. It was a very smart move. It connected everyone in the building to this event in one way or another.

Then we waited. Were people going to come? Were the 30 people who RSVP’d “Attending” actually going to come?

The answer was a big fat yes.

Of course, they were mostly late, but they were present. And they were into it.

Roughly 40 people, maybe 45, showed up with warm outfits and eager minds.

We then got a short talk from Shawn, on stage, telling the group what psychogeography is/was, and what we were going to do on our walk. We also learned that when we returned from our randomly chosen walks, we would be recording the routes we took and the “points of interest” on a projected map. Each group was to do this upon their return, and conversation would ensue, based on the things they experienced

On the left here, is the map projection of downtown Windsor. My group had all kinds of recording equipment. I used my Moleskine to record the things we saw and the crossroads we were nearest to when we saw/heard/experienced them. I gave my Flip Video recorder to Stephen Hargreaves, and my newly FOUND Zoom H4 audio recorder to a couple of the other member of our small group. Ryan Fields ended up with it…

So when we returned from out 50 minutes, we added as much as we could fit on the map, and we will all be posting more of these images on Flickr and our own personal websites as soon as we do the proper editing.

The Flickr group name was decided to be Windsor Psychogeography. Here’s a LINK.

Needless to say, the results were amazing. So many people, out on the streets with open eyes and keen interests in the state of their city and their downtown core. Personally, I saw all kinds of stuff I never noticed, including the display in front of the Baby House on Pitt Street which showed images of big, well-attended baseball games at Memorial Park in the 60s…which is where I grew up playing baseball to a MUCH smaller crowd.

I also was dragged into a parking garage stairwell, full of new graffiti (seen by very few) and treated to one of the most unique acoustic spaces in the city. it was amazing, and I will share the audio as soon as I edit it down. Another shock…a car of idiots driving with a megaphone, barking at us as they drove by. Nothing says downtown rowdy Windsor like that kind of crap.

But we saw beautiful houses in Downtown West, and apartments, and a Windsor Utilities sub-station that looked amazing, and tons of reflections of the very bright Caesars Windsor sign, and the variant changes in sidewalk design (pavement, brick, cobblestone, etc), and the sound-scapes of the music pouring out of the bus depot…and on and on and on…

As more of these images, videos, and sound bits come into the fore, I will share them with you.

And here is the same projection map without the projection. The only thing showing is the progress (up to that point) of the mapped routes and landmarks of experience. I’m leaving this up at Phog for a little while longer so people can add to it if they think something is “missing”.

Christmas Miracle

I’ll take this opportunity to introduce you to a side-project I have, a podcast, called Shane and Tom’s Squeezebox.

Shane is a guy I met because of Frank, and Phog. Shane came in to do an art show (he’s a graphic designer/artist) and when we began talking, we were finishing each other’s sentences, and making the same rude, odd, and crazy connections and references.

We decided to record our show, post in on the web, and welcome people with the same twisted sense of humour into our circle. Well, since there’s two of us, it’s less of a circle, and more of a line.

We try to get together every Sunday to record our 30 to 45-minute show. We laugh like crazy, moving through our segments, and then we post the show online and wait for comments and e-mails.

It’s so simple to do, and the connection to people around the world is flattering as one can imagine.

This passed Sunday, we did a holiday show. It was fantastic. We were happy, sharp, and on-point.

Shane then drove me to work, where a local band was having a rare all-ages show, and then another show in the evening. I was flustered, rushed, and trying to figure out how my night was going to go, as I had lost a car to failed steering the day before.

On Monday, I wanted to post the MP3 of the show online, so Shane could edit it together and post it for everyone to download.

I could NOT FIND MY recorder. This thing has offered such freedom for freelance radio with CBC Radio One’s Spark, CJAM’s NIMBY, and recording the odd show at Phog for a live-feeling audio rendition of the bands I love.

Not having this thing paralyzes me in a way I cannot express. It stops me from being able to do work for CBC, and it stops me from being able to freely do interviews for NIMBY (Not In  My Backyard) on CJAM.

I looked everywhere. And I mean everywhere. Specifically my backpack, where I always keep my recorder. It’s a ZOOM H4. It kicks ass. And I always have it in case an impromptu interview pops up.

I had a black cloud over my head for the past three days.

Shane was bummed that we lost our most recent show.

Jhoan was bummed that I was bummed, and she wanted to learn how to use it for a new project she’s starting soon.

So I had just about given up hope. I looked in every car, under every seat. I turned the bar upside down. I even called Frank to see if he stuffed it under a box somewhere.

And tonight. Christmas Eve. At Phog. I decide to empty my backpack for the third time. Take out the magazines, leaving Phog stickers and some finger-nail clippers. The only thing with any noticeable mass would be the bag (with a strap) holding my recorder…and the extra batteries it holds.

Lo and BEHOLD! It’s sitting in there, right next to the magazines!

WTF!?

I have no explanation for this.

No one has admitted to pulling a prank on me yet.

I don’t care.

I have the freedom to record again. I can record the 127th episode of Shane and Tom’s Squeezebox.

So go listen to the lost holiday episode! Download it from iTunes or go to our website: shanetom.com

I am so happy and feeling so lucky and blessed tonight.

The Mainstream

I really can’t tell you how much I love getting pieces in The Windsor Star.

The daily paper here takes a TON of heat about its content, yet I have been given a lot of freedom for the odd Monday article I give to them. I cannot complain with the great berth of space they give me when choosing topics.

I’ve written about my disdain for TV, my father’s illness, my unusually high disrespect for Ultimate Fighting, and my personal quest to travel by bike instead of a car. I write about the things that intersect with my life and drive me nuts until I write about them.

Today, I had a piece in The Scene section (as usual) about charity around the holidays, and competitive-giving between my siblings and I. My wife came up with the brilliant idea to see who can buy the most non-perishable food items and toiletries with $25 before tax. The winning family gets $30 to spend on themselves (winds their money back). You see, my family is quite competitive. And you can get through to them by challenging them…in fact, it is THE MOST EFFECTIVE way to get through to them. Haha…

So, one of the things that’s been plaguing me with my freelance column in The Star is content. You see, I am not allowed to write about anything in the music realm. Yes, my job that allows me to connect to all things in “The Scene” is what prohibits me from writing about music, the business, etc. because it is (truly) a conflict of interest. And I agree that it is a conflict, possibly allowing me to have a voice over some of the other people involved in music. So, when I’m no longer at Phog, I can think back to the way it worked, and vent.

Until then, I am looking for people/places/and activities worth writing about that DON’T occur inside the walls of my business. Which is so funny, because I try to innovate and create things that are newsworthy, and because I choose to hold these events within the walls of my business, I struggle as a writer.

So, this is a call to you, reading, to suggest to me ANY story you think should be expressed in that section of the paper on Mondays. I feel that I can be a great conduit to Windsorites about the world (expression, art, community, co-operation, activity) living under their world (Devonshire Mall, Starbucks, TV, SUV). If you can think of anything worth contributing…something that will capture those “undecided” folks or “independents” (like independent voters who are on the fence about whether to be a part of the first world or the evolving world).

Looking forward to some suggestions!!!

Here’s the link to the story I wrote in the paper today: http://tinyurl.com/9d5xqb

And here’s a little bit of a late addition from my friend Rino. He described his approach to Christmas, with two young children, trying to show them what “Christmas is all about”.

just wanted to share a similar idea that we did in our family over the holidays. having two young kids it’s hard to convey to them the true spirit of xmas while balancing the excitement of santa and receiving gifts. this year my mother in law had asked that we forgo her gift because of the tough times etc. we decided, my wife and her 3 brothers’ families, to spend that money on kids toys for donations. We took the kids shopping and they chose the toys and then they delivered them to the fire hall where they were getting collected. it’s a hands on approach to show them the value of gifts for people less fortunate. great to see that your article is being used to showcase such ideas. nice.
ttyl

Thanks for this message Rino.

Black Kettle Bistro looking for artists to show work!!

A personal friend of mine, Rino Bortolin, has been running Black Kettle Bistro, located at 357 Ouellette Avenue (the old Quizno’s) for a while.

He has recently placed a focus on supporting the arts, musicians, photographers, and the like.
One problem, they don’t know he’s looking for them (you).

Rino wants you to simply get a hold of him, and let him know who you are, what your artwork is…and if you’re willing to show your stuff in his soup and sandwich shop.

They provide for a breakfast crowd, a huge lunch crowd, and a growing after-hours crowd…most of whom are not frequent visitors of the usual art haunts. It’s a fantastic opportunity to grow your personal web of art buyers and contacts…from people who work downtown during the day!

Here’s some of what he wrote me in an e-mail:

I hope this will enhance the atmosphere, not in it for any financial gain. I want to foster a relationship with people, so creating a warm, comfortable, dynamic, interesting, and thought-provoking environment is very important to me.

I think you (as an artist reading this) would be silly to not e-mail Rino to take advantage of this.
Phone is 252.4333

Windsor comes up big in The Walrus Magazine

You know how it feels to pick a magazine up, begin reading, and feel an immediate connection to the content being talked about? More than just an “I’m-going-to-cut-this-out-and-put-it-on-my-fridge,” kind of connection.

Something that makes you uneasy in your seat. An urge overcomes you to get the phone number of the article’s author or the people mentioned in the article.

Well that happened to me last night, with a twist.

I subscribe to the national magazine, The Walrus. It’s some great reading, ranging from Canadian to international stories of politics, humanity, economics, health, science, etc. I’ve been reading it for quite a while, and I’ve seen it change since its inception. I recommend you take a look if you’re wanting to know a “little more” than what the local papers tell you about the world. Ha!

So here I am, reading about a town in Germany, called Bitterfeld. A story by Chris Turner. It’s got a lot of parallels with Windsor. Except for one major thing. They are now a BOOMING, ex-industrial town, bringing in so many dollars from solar panel manufacturing that they almost don’t know what to do with all of it. I remember thinking many, many months ago that the things Sustainable South Bronx is doing could be done in Windsor, if Canadian legislators and parliamentarians made the proper changes to current energy legislation. It happened in Bitterfeld. It happened in Germany. People thought that Germany was acting too boldly by making way for these kinds of green-energy companies and initiatives…and who’s laughing now?

I just love how the conservative, stick-to-the-old-way mentality is driving the economy and environment into the shitter, and we still have the laughable propensity to keep listening to this drivel. ENOUGH ALREADY! Get on board with the rest of the bloody world, Canada! The US is sleeping. Obama (fingers crossed) might wake up that old can-do attitude, making decisions for the people instead of Wall Street and the usual suspects (cronies). But we are Canada. We can do something else. We can be an example. And better yet!! I’m in Windsor, where things seemingly can’t get worse! Why doesn’t this movement start here where all the skilled workers are!? Hello? This is THE spot to make this happen. Why are we not out wooing the green-energy companies to move to Windsor?!

Take Arise Technologies…in Ontario…even THEY moved to Bitterfeld! Because the government makes it attractive economically and legislatively! Here’s a snippet from the story about Arise:

Seemingly every green power company on the planet has set up at least part of its shop there in recent years, including Arise Technologies, a solar company headquartered in southwestern Ontario, which announced in September 2007 that it would establish its first industrial-scale production facility in eastern Germany.

I want Arise Technologies in Windsor dammit.

Without further ado, I think you should read this article for yourself. So here’s the link. WALRUS!

But the best part is yet to come.

As I read this, I was yelling inside, “This guy should mention Windsor! There are such obvious comparisons! Dammit, I wish he’d bring attention to Windsor!”

And as the article is wrapping up, not only does he mention Windsor, but he mentions none other than the very guy who’s name is in the title of my last blog post…Chris Holt!!! WTF!!!??? Chris Holt of Scaledown.ca! Windsor’s own!

It was a Christmas present.

I could taste solar energy at this point, as he drew a line connecting Windsor and Bitterfeld, Germany. It was so victorious, I wanted to spike the magazine like I would in an end-zone after a touchdown. I wanted to do a Risky Business, Tom Cruise running slide across my floor.

Here’s the second-last paragraph:

As I counted crumbling gdr guard towers on the train ride from Bitterfeld to Leipzig the evening after my tour of Solar Valley, my thoughts turned from Christian Puschmann’s boyish enthusiasm to the desperate edge I’d encountered during a recent visit to Windsor, Ontario. My host was a laid-off autoworker, a guy named Chris Holt. He was just a little older than Puschmann, I’d guess. He had two kids and a cozy house in the funky old part of town. Holt was one of only a few of his co-workers, he told me, who weren’t simply biding their time until the fix came in from enough levels of government to buy back some faded remnant of the city’s manufacturing glory. He was trying to build a green-minded grassroots revitalization movement in Windsor, but it had been slow going.

Nuts.

Chris Holt is responsible for this. It’s big. And we need to thank him. His e-mail is in my past posts. If you think wise of it, tell him, he’s the man.

Help Scaledown.ca find Windsor photographers!

I am simply re-posting something from Chris Holt’s Scaledown.ca post. He needs some photographers for a project he’s working on, that portrays Windsor in a POSITIVE light. Read below and help if you can!

In a way, I am rewarding Chris by reposting this because he took my advice, and started using the Facebook status to post links to his blog!!

Nice job Chris!

“Calling all Windsor Photographers,

ScaleDown will be partnering with Windsor area BIA’s in a project aimed to promote community pride and celebrate our neighbourhoods in 2009.

With the recent snowfall, attention has been brought to just how beautiful our core communities are – especially layered in that fresh, fluffy snow. In an effort to highlight these communities, we are looking to local photographers to capture the spirit of the neighbourhoods in photographs that we will be reproducing as Holiday Cards for the 2009 Holiday season.

We will be featuring cards with four (4) photos per community. When you are out there in this weekends predicted record snowfall taking your photos, please try and highlight identifiable neighbourhood landmarks and streetscapes and make the images scream neighbourhood pride!

Which neighbourhoods you ask? If it’s got a Business Improvement Association, we’re going to feature it. Here a list of Windsor’s BIA’s (city BIA map);

• Downtown Windsor BIA
• Ford City Business District
• Olde Riverside Town Centre
• Olde Sandwich Towne Business Association
• Ottawa Street BIA
• Pillette Village BIA
• Via Italia/Erie Street BIA
• Walkerville BIA
• Wyandotte Towne Centre BIA

We are still working out the specific details as to how much we will be able to pay for the chosen photographs and layout of the cards, but we wanted to give everyone the heads-up so they can open up some space on those SD cards to capture the best images of our local neighbourhood gems they can. The cards themselves will be printed on 7″ X 5″ card-stock, and we will be noting the location in the city the photo was taken as well as the photographers name. Please supply us with this information along with the photo.

Contact me at chris@scaledown.ca with your submissions or for any additional information. Looking forward to seeing what the incredibly creative folks in Windsor captures to represent what they love about these great neighbourhoods!”

Creative Minds need help with the internets…

So, as you saw me rant about how too many A) Windsorites and B) creative class inhabitants are clueless about how to maximize their viewership/readership/listenership/sales, I am putting my money where my mouth is…

Tuesday, January 27th, there will be a FREE education night for those artists, musicians, writers, etc. who want to expand their dismal presence online, using free web applications that are being proved to grow webs of connectivity among the tech, education, and corporate communities.

There will be several presenters, who will talk for 7-10 minutes each, about a particular program they are proficient in using, and share their knowlege of these programs. Presenters will SHOW on a projection screen, all the steps from clueless, to daily user of each web application they share. They’ll simply plug into the projector with their computer. Some presentations will be video only, pre-produced, and sent in from around Ontario from some people I know who are very gifted with these apps.

ONE lucky person will be chosen (to stay for the entire thing) and be registered for EVERY web app. (which they can choose to use or lose after the symposium), thus injecting some continuity to the process of registering for these sites. The presentations will ALL consist of a walk-through of how to:

A) register, B) use, and C) manage their existence online with that particular app, and,  D) be taught why this app is usable, important, and pertinent to get ideas to others.

The talks will hopefully inspire a bigger presence on the web, and some more eyes, ears, minds being amazed by our Windsor talents.

It’s going to be awesome.

Oh, by the way, if you think you have something to offer in this regard, a little talk in front of some non-techies…tell me so I can schedule you for a presentation!! COME ONE, COME ALL!!

Big Walk-erville and some of the power of Google Maps

Quickly, for those of you who were clueless about the Big Walk…here’s the original Google Maps Pedometer I set up. Stephen Hargreaves told me about this site, and I rushed to it in order to get an accurate distance on our walk…but it served as a a map and became part of an information kit I sent to all the walkers. So check it out HERE!

While in Walkerville, the biggest expanse was Willistead Park, looking at Willistead Manor. Wow. Autumn in full effect, and over 40 legs traipsing through the leaf-litter was, if nothing else, an auditory experience not repeated since I went on a field trip in grade school to Optimist Park…near my old school, St Andrew’s.

The videos I shot of that area include talk of Albert Kahn, and discussion of other buildings in the area…if you can hear it over the leaves.

So the vids below will show you what that experience was like, if you weren’t there…or if you aren’t from Windsor, or Ontario, or Canada.

In closing, I just want to explain something that was supplied to all Big Walkers less than two days after we returned from the painful, beautiful trip.

Michael Johnson, tall guy, running around all day with his camera taking pictures, made another Google Map for the group. His was much more interesting, intriguing, and inspiring…

He took our trip, and mapped it on a Google Map. He then took his photos, and created slide-shows in a movie-editor of some kind  on his computer (iMovie?). THEN he took AUDIO he secretly recorded during the walk, and he set those stories, or discussions as bed tracks for some of his photos.  He THEN plotted those videos ON THE MAP. He also posted photo galleries on certain points of the trip that were relevant to the area he placed the marker that signified “click here”.

So, when we were in Walkerville, one of our walkers, Joan, talked about how she used to be pals with Paul Martin’s (past Liberal Prime Minister of Canada) sister and how she had partied in the Paul Martin house as a youngster. She went on to discuss the secret tunnels under the house that lead all the way to the lip of the Detroit River, and were used for rum-running at some point (she thought). Everyone crowded around Joan on Kildare Road as she spun this yarn…and I hoped it stuck with people. Well, it stuck in Michael Johnson’s audio recorder.

So if you go to this map, he has a marker in Walkerville, and when you click on it, a Youtube video opens, and you see an image of the Paul Martin family house, but you hear Joan telling her tale of late nights in the house, with her friend, daring to go into the tunnel in the basement of the house, and running back in fear of the strange noises and darkness. Amazing usage of internet tools! I, however, now cannot find the link to that map in my e-mail. I will try to find it and post it in a later post.

Do any of my Big Walk readers still have this link?

I can’t wait to have the technology night at Phog when the creative class gets a tutorial from their creative brethren. Watching that knowledge spread is going to be amazing!!

Me-dia, and why Gus Morin fascinates me.

The images above are crude computer-camera photos of a postcard.

But they’re so much more than just a postcard. With a nod to the printer, Jen Kimmerly of Standard Printing, these postcards are so sharp looking, it reminds me of the scene in American Psycho when the executives (including the psycho – Christian Bale) get together and start comparing business cards. They notice the variations of white (ha!) and the ribbing of the paper…the tooth of the fibre. And the psycho can’t stand to see a card other than his looking so exquisite.

When I see something that Jen is printing for Gus Morin, I get like that. I want to run away instead of seeing something so good that I am not engaging in myself.

This postcard is Gus’ way of saying, “Broken City.”

The problem I face when trying to explain something Gus has done is misrepresentation because he is usually thinking on so many levels, and so many steps ahead of me (and everyone else) that it is often better to hear it from the horse’s mouth.

You see, Gus was in Phog the other night, and we were discussing the media, and how unreliable it can be due to advertisers wishes and influence. I always make clear that my piddly existence supplying the Windsor Star with freelance stuff has been very nonrestrictive, yet I see an inexcusable amount of omissions of REAL news from various papers, magazines, and TV news every day.

Gus, ahead of the curve, calls bullshit when he sees it. He actually screams it ,whether in person or on paper. His postcard says a lot more than you might think at first. He’s clearly saying that the old is out. The car companies have had their run. Tires = zero. Windsor is sick, and the money we bathed in because of the auto industry is drying up, going away, and so will we if we don’t sharpen up.

These postcards are Gus’ blog. He sits and pens them out to media outlets, people of “importance” and “circumstance” at a rate of one-per-twenty-minutes. This connection with the paper, the pen, his thoughts, is a special ritual. He loves it. He knows that in the digital age, he is connecting with “media releases” (postcards) that NO ONE ELSE is taking the time to write, let alone design. Gus is also a visual poet, and a collage-maniac. The design on these postcards, I can assure, took a lot of thought and time to make.

So he writes, and he writes, and he mails, and he mails. He knows the Canadian mail system back to front, and he’s a big fan of the US Postal system because of the money saved by sending his postcards FROM the US to the US, saving many, many dollars (including border tolls) by refraining from sending them in Canada. His messages are important, and eloquent, and when it comes to budgeting for your passion, I am full force in favour of him taking his dollar to the US if it makes the difference between Gus getting the message out or not getting it out.

So he decided to read a sample of the postcard he had written to the media. It was brilliant, as usual, and I practically needed a thesaurus to understand what he was saying, but in it’s essence, he was crying out for help, for reform, for a paradigm shift in the media to wake up and cover the death of a city.

The failure of the Big 3 is a sore spot with Gus, but not for the reasons many would think. So, he makes it very clear in his postcards.

It is his own media. Me-dia. It is his editorialized news story (no different from any packaged news story, with a slant, and a clear viewpoint. He has reclaimed the mail in the name of justice in the way a radio-hopeful, desperate to express themselves, uses a pirate signal to project.

Gus, no stranger to oppression and struggle, is an artist and writer. His voice is a beacon of reason, and often times an outrageous anarchistic breath of fresh air. What I mean by that is…at least he cares enough to say something outrageous (to my senses) in order to convey his disdain for the way things are being mismanaged. He is every bit a Broken City Lab of his own. He just does it all offline, which in a way is awesome and very Gus-like…but I wonder what he could illicit in people being online in a big way. Who am I kidding? If he’s given this thought, he knows the best avenue for his his mind and talents. As a quick sidebar…Gus once set out to send 1000 postcards to many people, from his huge list, as an art project, an outreach, a correspondence, and who knows what else? Like I said, I fear I will misrepresent this unique genius. He got about 800 of them sent, which is UNREAL!!! 800 postcards in one year!? Ha! I couldn’t do 800 blog posts in a year if I was being paid!

Back to his note. His postcards. They’re all different. Even when he has a common campaign like this, asking the media to shed light on something that needs to change, his individual letters are composed like a new letter each and every time! And he doesn’t send five of these things…he sends 50, or 60, or 100! I don’t know if I could do that for my convictions. I can’t say that I’d find the time to write that much for a cause, if I had to HAND WRITE IT EVERY TIME!

Let this be an instigator to bubble something up inside of you…to bring an idea to the fore, to see light of day, because it means too  much to you to squander…no matter how much work it takes to manifest.

In finishing, I just wanted to show you what passion looks like. It looks like a postcard with red ink, a nice tooth, and focused (democracy-defining) writings and pleadings…and a stamp.

Barry Furlonger, David Dubois: This week’s NIMBY

Well, we recorded another show, and again it felt as though Adam and I are finding our timing. It seems to be getting smoother and smoother with each show. Again, we produce/host NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) on CJAM.

We both remarked at how much we enjoy producing and airing the show, to the extent that we want to carry on this project as far as possible.

This week, Adam interviewed David Dubois of the band The Locusts Have No King. Dave has also been a massively proficient singer/songwriter for quite some time, and this interview was centred around the release of a new full length CD due out in January. The bits I heard on the show today were fantastic!

Me…I interviewed Barry Furlonger, executive director of The Downtown Mission. My interview with Barry was MUCH longer than the edited version on the show, which left a lot of usable, viable content on the digital cutting-room floor. So, I will first post the archived version of today’s Not In My Backyard, and then I will post the full, unedited interview I did with Barry for those of you who want to know/hear more about the Downtown Mission.

Thanks to all those who listened to the show live today!

Here’s the link to the extended interview with Barry Furlonger of The Downtown Mission!

Here’s the link to today’s NIMBY!
