  Speaker 6: It's a busy weekend.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Now, you got so many different things going on, But
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: I want to talk about Festive Fall because you're the
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: new director of Festivall Now we're talking Festive Fall, which
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: is a part of festival. That's right, all right, Burning
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: on the job, on the Joel Trial by Fire as
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: they save my friend, all right. So what you got
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: going on?
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: Well, tonight is the official kickoff to Festivefall. We had
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: a pre festival eve drum circle last night, but tonight
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: is the big kickoff with three things which I know
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: you've appeared on in the past, Jeff Shirley's Speaker series.
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: That's gonna be seven pm. Tonight at the Capitol Market.
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: People don't know. Jeff always picks such a good lineup
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: of folks. Bob Thompson, the Mountain Stage piano player, the
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: Clay Centers astrophysicist Shannon Silverman, and then the community organizer
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: Mavery Davis. They're going to talk about their lives in
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: the framework that Jeff created where they talk about their
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: first however they interpret that yea, their favorite and their future.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: And that's a great event, by the way. I mean,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: it really really is. They've been doing it for a
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: number of years. And it is interesting because Jeff doesn't
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: give you guidance as to what the first is. It
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: could be like what your first job. It could be
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: your first anything, and then your favorite and again related
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: to anything that you want it to be, and then
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: your future and everybody, the three people all interpret that differently,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: and Jeff doesn't give you any guidance, which is okay,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: it's okay.
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: It makes it more special in some ways. Like the
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: example Jeff always gives is when he had Kenny Bass
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: on the show.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Kenny talked about.
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: Christmas his first, his favorite, and you know, it's so
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: interesting to it's a way to get into the lives
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: of people that we know around town. And that's one
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: of our few ticketed events. Most of the stuff we
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: do this weekend is free. But if you want to
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: get tickets for three things tonight at seven pm, you
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: can go to Festival Charleston.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: That's Festival two l's Charleston dot com.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: All right, and so that's just a kickoff.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: That's the kickoff, all right. Well, we're gonna keep rolling
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: right along.
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: Tomorrow at seven thirty, we have an evening with the
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: West Virginia Dance Company that's the state's only professional dance company,
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: like amazing modern choreography. Also that's going to be at
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: the Culture Center, also a ticketed event. You can get
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: tickets online at our website. That they're going to be
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: featuring a piece composed by a West Virginia native, doctor
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: Richard Grimes. Rolling into Friday, we have Magnolia Boulevard, which
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: is like a blues rock band, Lake Street drive to
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: dashy Trucks, Bondi rate type stuff. They're going to be
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: down at Slack Plaza. It's going to be a great show.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: Starts at seven point thirty. And that one was free,
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: family friendly. At the same time. Well, at six at
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: Taylor Books, the State.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Poet Laurie at Mark Harshman.
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: It's going to be hosting an evening with the Poets
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: featuring Jesse Graves and some young poets from the Poetry
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: Out Loud organization. Just a jam packed. But then Saturday
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: is when it really kicks into high gear with the
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: Harvest Art Fair over at the Capital Market. People are
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: probably most familiar with the Capitol Street Art Fair that
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: happens during the summer during Festival. This is kind of
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: a miniature version of that. But we've got thirty artisans
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: over there who are cann be selling their stuff. We've
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: got live music every hour on the hour, some great
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: bands lined up for that one. It's a good place
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: to get some early holiday shof and taking care of that.
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: That's running from ten to six on Saturday at the
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: Capitol Market. We're also going to have walking tours and
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: bike tours of downtown. The walking tour starts at ten
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: thirty they're at the Leaf Street Triangle, and the bike
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: tour starts at eleven. Those are so cool because you know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: I've worked downtown my entire career, but the things you
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: walk past every day you kind of take for granted,
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: and getting somebody like Naomi Base who's going to lead
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: the walking tour, and then Sam Niguard who's leading the
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: bike tour. The things that they point out to you
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: that you just take for granted in your own hometown,
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: it's it's it's so illuminating. Later that evening, six pm,
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: we've got a Shakespeare remix at Folklore Music Extrange, really
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: cool music store there on the corner of what was

  Speaker 7: of donated stuffed animals.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: I'm interested to see how that comes comes through. He's
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: got an incredible he's We've hit every thrift store between
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: you know here and here in Dunbar trying to get
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: stuffed animals for this. And he texted me last night
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: he's like ready, and he sent me this picture of
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: a giant pile of stuffed animals in his office. It's
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: gonna be cool, Jeff. Everything Jeff does is cool, but
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: I'm having a hard time picturing it. But if you
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: want to contribute stuffed animals to the sculpture, you can
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: bring him with you to the carriage trail on Sunday
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: from one to four. Don't expect to get him back.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: I think, Okay, once they're sculpted, they can't be unsculpted.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: I guess I've heard there will be a nail gun involved.
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: Lord, so you're gonna get the pita for stuffed animals
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: involved in this.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know. It's going to be cool.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: It's going to be cool, but I'm having a hard
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: time picturing it. But Jeff has a vision. I trust
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: his visions.
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: Artistic types always have a vision.
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: And what's cool is we're also going to have and
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: if people want to come to the Carristral Leafwalk, if
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: you know anything about that area, that little parking lot
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: there at the bottom is going to fill up fast.
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: And the best thing to do is probably to try
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: to find parking at the top where there's a little
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: bit more space, or find place to park downtown. There's
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: a city garage right across from the South Side Bridge.
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: You could park there and just make it. It's an easy, little.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: Streetsy little Yeah, it's just another fard off.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: So and where's the best place to get We've done
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: a lot of information at the people.
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: Where's the best place?
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: The best place to find all this information is festival

  Speaker 7: Sure, The tagline of our organization is a city becomes
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: a work of art, But the tagline for Festifall is

  Speaker 4: A season becomes a work of art.
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: West Virginia's beautiful all year round, but it really shows
• 12:53

  Speaker 3: I am terrible with names, and I've had Lauren on
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: the show a couple of times, and I remembered her
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: last name but not her.
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: First rate, which is actually really impressive.
• 17:34
  Speaker 13: And that's impressed.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't don't.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: I guess it's all the sports I watched or something.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: I remember last names.
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: But you guess I'd be working started if you didn't
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: remember my name.
• 17:42
  Speaker 14: Yeah, because I'm here pretty and you and I.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: Go way way ten years, way back, ten ten to ten.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: It's been ten years now.
• 17:49
  Speaker 13: So y'all met when you were like nine, Yeah, exactly.
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Dave was David was twenty nine.
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: I was nine.
• 17:56
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: We went through actually, uh, mister and I went through
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: leadership West Virginia together. Had a lot of fun. But probably,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: and I'll say this if if listeners get an opportunity
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: to do leaderships, the single best thing I ever did
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: in my life. And I mean, it was amazing that
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Pam Ferris, who just recently I guess retired, just does
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: a great job with that. And it was, without a doubt,
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: the best thing career wise and personally I ever did
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: in my life. Formative I would say, I mean, to
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: be able to go around this state and be able
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: to meet people.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: I did not win. How many people in our class?
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: That was like fifty five people in our class. I
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: only knew one person going in. Now, others I knew
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: their names because Mayor Goodwin was in our class and
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Jim Hoyer. I knew their names, but I didn't know them.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: There's one guy that I went to high school with
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: that was in the class, and he and I didn't
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: know each other. No, it's a Lawrence Bell, and he
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: and I went to high school together and didn't know
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: each other. Proved, you know, disproving the theory that everybody
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: and Logan knows.
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: Everybody because he was a year or so.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Behind, right, I didn't know him in high school. We
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: met at Leadership West. That's so cool if you get
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: an opportunity to do that, all right. So I was
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: talking earlier to Zach Carroll about to festival which is
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: going on. And I say this almost every week in
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: the show, Guys, if you can't find something to do
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: with Charleston, it really the Canal Valley, right, that's on you.
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: That's gonna be going on. It kicks off the night,
• 19:22

• 20:04
  Speaker 3: It's gonna say if you don't love him, that goes
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: in a different direction. You don't love him, there's something
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: wrong with you because.

  Speaker 13: Jazz on the main stage. Those will both just be fantastic,
• 20:18
  Speaker 13: good energies for the stage. As you're talking with friends,
• 20:22
  Speaker 13: the weather is looking like a perfect fall day.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Here I said, more than what you would think of
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: with fall. But still it's not eighty five or nights
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: seventies high.
• 20:31
  Speaker 13: Yeah, no rain, knock on wood, It's gonna be great. Yeah.

• 20:43
  Speaker 13: different types as you want. I've said a million times
• 20:45
  Speaker 13: at this point, we've got like twenty different pumpkin ales
• 20:48
  Speaker 13: and they all are different, but they all have a
• 20:51
  Speaker 13: good fall energy to them. We've got our October West
• 20:54
  Speaker 13: Games going on over there in front of the Charlie
• 20:58
  Speaker 13: Hamilton Jupiter the Mural there, and we've got Stein holding
• 21:08
  Speaker 13: keg rolling.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's something.
• 21:10
  Speaker 13: It'll be a blast.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: That's the thing I remember from last year when I
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: was there, one of the things that really stuck at
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: It's all great, but I remember going over and we
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: watched the keg rolling in the different competitions and stuff
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: It was awesome.
• 21:23
  Speaker 14: It's it's always surprising the number of people who end
• 21:25
  Speaker 14: up signing up for those.
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: I mean, it's it's a party in itself.
• 21:28
  Speaker 13: Oh yeah, it's an absolute, absolute hood of a time.
• 21:30
  Speaker 13: I mean, we've got people dressed up in costumes. It's
• 21:35
  Speaker 13: just an absolute blast.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it is, it is. We had a texture.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Somebody asked about other beverages that they don't drink alcohol.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: There's plenty of other stuff.
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: It there's some non alcoholic beers I believe that are
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: on the list.
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: Somebody should have.
• 21:47
  Speaker 14: Somebody will have water we'll have We'll have there's these
• 21:50
  Speaker 14: huge tubs of water that'll be throughout the entire just
• 21:52
  Speaker 14: like a foam.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: We have like every so.
• 21:54
  Speaker 8: Many feet, we have a tub of water.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: You can grab it up for food.
• 21:56
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and it's three And we also do if you're
• 21:59
  Speaker 13: either not a your drinker or a designated driver, have
• 22:02
  Speaker 13: a designated driver ticket where you can show up and
• 22:05
  Speaker 13: get in for free, and we'll give you a risk
• 22:06
  Speaker 13: band and you can still enjoy all of the festivities
• 22:09
  Speaker 13: even if you're not a big beer guy.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: And the food, the food vendors.
• 22:12
  Speaker 13: Oh yeah, you can enjoy the food vendors. Yeah, we've
• 22:14
  Speaker 13: got quite a few good lined up, good ones lined up,
• 22:18
  Speaker 13: a good time.
• 22:19
  Speaker 14: Yeah, of course you're the ticket price, the fifty five
• 22:21
  Speaker 14: for VIP, forty five for general emission. Of course, you
• 22:24
  Speaker 14: get the extra hour for VIP starting at three o'clock.
• 22:26
  Speaker 14: General emission starts at four o'clock. You'll have a we
• 22:29
  Speaker 14: have a VIP beer tent, excuse me, a table for
• 22:32
  Speaker 14: circtly for the VIP ticket holders. But that ticket price
• 22:37
  Speaker 14: does not include the food vendors. Make sure you bring
• 22:39
  Speaker 14: your debit card or your cash because the food vendors
• 22:41
  Speaker 14: we have that they're taking payment separately.
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: So yeah, right, it's and it's just always a good time. Roughly.
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: I mean I said thousands of people, but I mean people.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: You know, it's not.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: A it's not like a one time everything. Some people
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: will come in, drift in for twenty minutes and leave,
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: some people stay the entire time. Roughly how many people
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: to Gentiliz you roughly?
• 23:00
  Speaker 14: Year to year? It has fluctuated. I think the hot
• 23:03
  Speaker 14: the the highest attendance we ever had. I don't remember
• 23:06
  Speaker 14: the year, but it was like twenty two hundred people,
• 23:09
  Speaker 14: and then the lowest we had was during a football game,
• 23:11
  Speaker 14: which is why we moved this event this year because
• 23:13
  Speaker 14: it was during a w football game and the lowest
• 23:15
  Speaker 14: I believe was like eleven hundred. So it just it
• 23:18
  Speaker 14: just depends on what's going on that.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Particularly's and that's incredible and when you think about, you know,
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: bringing in all those people, there's a reason why it's
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: it's on that part of town because the whole idea
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: is too and that's why it's in the name October
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: West to try to get people there to see all
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: the things that are going on over there. And Rick,
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: I'll let you talk about that.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: A little bit.
• 23:36
  Speaker 14: Yeah, so I mean our organization, of course, Dave, I've
• 23:38
  Speaker 14: been on to talk about the evolution of our organization
• 23:41
  Speaker 14: over time several times. But Charleston Urban Works, our organization
• 23:45
  Speaker 14: formerly known as Charleston Main Streets, our mission excuse me,
• 23:49
  Speaker 14: our mission is is solely focused on the urban neighborhood
• 23:52
  Speaker 14: business districts here in the capital city, certain ones, and
• 23:56
  Speaker 14: you know, we're a unique organization in that way. The
• 23:58
  Speaker 14: services we offer in our object is within our mission
• 24:01
  Speaker 14: are very unique. We really focus on business improvement and
• 24:04
  Speaker 14: advancement in small business of course, public space enhancement projects,
• 24:09
  Speaker 14: events and marketing in business marketing, and then increasing engagement
• 24:13
  Speaker 14: across the entire community. And that really just means of
• 24:17
  Speaker 14: getting people more engaged, more involved with what we do,
• 24:19
  Speaker 14: and then you know, vice versa. We have been doing
• 24:23
  Speaker 14: this work collectively since two thousand and two. We started
• 24:25
  Speaker 14: out on the East End. A few years later we
• 24:28
  Speaker 14: started out on the West side. Years after that we
• 24:30
  Speaker 14: merged to create Charleston Main Streets. Actually, the year I
• 24:32
  Speaker 14: met you, we were talking about ten years ago, was
• 24:34
  Speaker 14: the year we did that. And then just over the
• 24:36
  Speaker 14: last year and a half we rebranded to Charleston Urban Works,
• 24:39
  Speaker 14: and we actually just expanded our work into Kanall City.
• 24:43
  Speaker 14: Through a really incredible partnership and support through the City
• 24:46
  Speaker 14: of Charleston, we were able to expand our work into
• 24:48
  Speaker 14: kanas City and we're building that foundation of the work
• 24:50
  Speaker 14: we've been doing for several years on the East End
• 24:52
  Speaker 14: and West side, we're now building that foundation in Kanall City.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: What kind of plan I mean, I know it's still earlier,
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: you just building the foundation now and you talk about
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: the partnership with the city, but what kind of things
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: could you see in KANNAUSO. Well, I mean it's it
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: would be similar, I guess to the East and West,
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: but they're geographically they're they're different.
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: Very different.
• 25:09
  Speaker 14: Yeah, And the approach we've always taken, we're taking the
• 25:12
  Speaker 14: same approach over there that we have in our other
• 25:14
  Speaker 14: districts over time, right what we're doing. As a matter
• 25:16
  Speaker 14: of fact, we just had our first working group meeting
• 25:18
  Speaker 14: over there, comprised of all small business owners in Kanall City.
• 25:22
  Speaker 14: The entire groups comprised of business owners and we've been
• 25:26
  Speaker 14: Shannon who's on our staff, she's our director over there.
• 25:29
  Speaker 14: She's been working really hard to develop an enormous database
• 25:32
  Speaker 14: with every single property and business and property owner and
• 25:35
  Speaker 14: business owner over there collecting data. You know, this is
• 25:39
  Speaker 14: the first time it's been this has been attempted over there,
• 25:41
  Speaker 14: so there's a lot of data you got to collect
• 25:42
  Speaker 14: before you could actually know what work needs to be done.
• 25:45
  Speaker 14: And now we've started survey work over there like we've
• 25:47
  Speaker 14: done on the West Side here recently, we're surveying the
• 25:49
  Speaker 14: business owners to figure out what their needs are. So
• 25:52
  Speaker 14: that's all in process. That's going to take some time.
• 25:54
  Speaker 14: We've come a long way in the last almost six
• 25:56
  Speaker 14: months and we know by the middle of November we'll
• 25:59
  Speaker 14: be to release some project plans solely based on the
• 26:02
  Speaker 14: needs of the end user of the business owners themselves,
• 26:05
  Speaker 14: and so you'll see some really cool marketing initiatives coming
• 26:07
  Speaker 14: out of that. You'll see some ideas for events. You'll
• 26:10
  Speaker 14: see ideas for shop you know, to expand our shop
• 26:13
  Speaker 14: local initiative, our our Passport card over there, stuff like that.
• 26:16
  Speaker 14: Our FA Sage grant program. That's another really big point
• 26:19
  Speaker 14: to make. Our Facade grant program is in part funded
• 26:23
  Speaker 14: through events like this that we put on. We are
• 26:25
  Speaker 14: able to provide funding really important funding. Too small business
• 26:28
  Speaker 14: owners to help you know, new doors, new windows, brick pointing,
• 26:32
  Speaker 14: new signage, public art on their building, you know, outdoor
• 26:36
  Speaker 14: dining spaces, that kind of thing. We match funds. That's
• 26:39
  Speaker 14: that private business owners put into their invest into their
• 26:42
  Speaker 14: properties through through that Facade grant program. So that gives
• 26:45
  Speaker 14: you an idea of the work that we do and
• 26:46
  Speaker 14: why this work is so important and why coming to
• 26:48
  Speaker 14: events like October West helps support and fund that.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we want to make sure that want people to
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: come out and have a good time, whether it's here,
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: we do foam in a dome earlier in the year too,
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: But we want to know there's a reason for our
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: rest and that's and that's and that's what that I mean,
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: it's so you know, come out and have some drinks
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: or not, or have some food and play the games whatever.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: But there's a reason why that you're doing all this
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: and just to put the money back into Charleston.
• 27:08
  Speaker 13: Yeah, And I mean when you're down there in the
• 27:10
  Speaker 13: Elk City district over there on the west side, you
• 27:12
  Speaker 13: can stand in a circle in the middle Washington Street
• 27:14
  Speaker 13: and see a bunch of businesses that we've had a
• 27:16
  Speaker 13: hand in helping promote or create the spaces that they have,
• 27:23
  Speaker 13: and so that's something that I want to plug is
• 27:24
  Speaker 13: a lot of the Elk City businesses are open Saturday
• 27:27
  Speaker 13: before October West and so if you want to pop
• 27:31
  Speaker 13: into Kinship Goods, you want to get a hot dog
• 27:33
  Speaker 13: from Dancing Dog, you need to get your hair cut,
• 27:35
  Speaker 13: you want to go over to the Wine Down, they're
• 27:37
  Speaker 13: all open leading up to the event, and then some
• 27:39
  Speaker 13: of them will be also open during the event. So
• 27:41
  Speaker 13: we really that's the whole point of having it over
• 27:44
  Speaker 13: there is we want people to be able to wander
• 27:46
  Speaker 13: in and out of the spaces and see them and
• 27:49
  Speaker 13: see the work that we've done to create the public
• 27:54
  Speaker 13: the public space that is for the people of Charleston,
• 27:57
  Speaker 13: literally by the people of Charleston, because they're giving us
• 28:00
  Speaker 13: that money through these ticket sales. So it's it's really
• 28:03
  Speaker 13: cool to just be able to stand there and look
• 28:05
  Speaker 13: around and see all the people that are helping make
• 28:07
  Speaker 13: all these things happen.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: And of course all of our stations are going to
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: be there as well. We're looking forward to it. I'll
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: be there with ninety eight seven Mountain On. I think
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: I'm going to roll in there about about three or
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: four I'm scheduled to be there at five, but I
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: don't want to miss a good time. I may be
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: there just a little bit earlier. Good but you know
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: V one hundred, I know Steve is going to be there,
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: kws the beat. We're all going to be down there,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: so we're looking forward to it, right. We love the
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: partnership we have with you guys too.
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: We can't tell you how much we appreciate it.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: I'll say that, all right.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Give us the information available on social media, websites and ticketing.
• 28:40
  Speaker 14: Charlestondurbanworks dot Org is where you can go to buy
• 28:42
  Speaker 14: your tickets. You can also go straight to the October
• 28:44
  Speaker 14: West Facebook page and the event page as well. All
• 28:48
  Speaker 14: the information about everything happening in real time is or
• 28:50
  Speaker 14: on those pages.
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: All right, we'll see you guys there.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: And we had a texture said one business I'd love
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: to see come back forty years later, Chris is hot Dogs.
• 28:56
  Speaker 14: Well, so what I remember the day when Chris is
• 29:00
  Speaker 14: The days when Chris hod Dog was there.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Coop's to be busy, right, I was gas. Do you
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: remember Christmas hot Dogs on the West Side?
• 29:06
  Speaker 14: It was Gonzoe Burger after it was Christmas hod Dogs
• 29:09
  Speaker 14: that's actually a great example of a project that we
• 29:11
  Speaker 14: were extremely involved quickly. You may remember back in this
• 29:15
  Speaker 14: has been several years ago, but the owners of me
• 29:17
  Speaker 14: Cassina Damore, which unfortunately is now closed as well, they're
• 29:20
  Speaker 14: the ones who wanted that building to put this Burger
• 29:22
  Speaker 14: join in. And I was able in my role with
• 29:26
  Speaker 14: Charleston Main Streets at the time, now Urban Works was
• 29:28
  Speaker 14: able to directly connect the property owner at the time
• 29:31
  Speaker 14: who still owned who's the family of Christmas hot Dogs,
• 29:35
  Speaker 14: with an investor who was interested in buying the building.
• 29:37
  Speaker 14: The now owner of that building. They they were able
• 29:40
  Speaker 14: to work it out. They were able to buy it.
• 29:41
  Speaker 14: They used historic tax credits to restore that building. If
• 29:44
  Speaker 14: you look, I mean it has a completely different look now,
• 29:46
  Speaker 14: but they used all historic standards to renovate and restore
• 29:50
  Speaker 14: that building both floors, first and second floor. And of
• 29:53
  Speaker 14: course we were able to directly connect the business owner
• 29:56
  Speaker 14: to come in and open up Gonzo Berger And of
• 29:58
  Speaker 14: course they did a lot of work to the inside
• 29:59
  Speaker 14: to get it to a it looks the way it
• 30:00
  Speaker 14: looks today. So that's an example of the work that
• 30:02
  Speaker 14: we do somewhat behind the scenes because a lot of
• 30:04
  Speaker 14: that's confidential.
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: But we're here is networking. It's connecting people, you know
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: while we're here, and that's why you're in there.
• 30:11
  Speaker 13: And everybody that's touched that building has made an impact
• 30:13
  Speaker 13: on it, whether they've come and gone or stay, it
• 30:16
  Speaker 13: all has a really cool impact on the community there, all.
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: Right, Rick, Kevin de Larneatch, appreciate you both being here.
• 30:20

• 34:29
  Speaker 3: because you're always interesting conversation. I want to have you
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: on my friend. But today we're going to talk about
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: something that's near and dear to my heart and your
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: heart as well, and that is animals. There's going to
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: be an event happening over Dutch Miller's Subaru on October
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: the eighteenth, from eleven to four, and that of course
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: is nineteen oh one Patrick Street Plaza. I love the
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: name Chris hol Oween and you guys have how that's howl.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: You guys to kind of put your.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: Name on this. I know you and know your family,
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: and I know the superroof folks talking about the Subaru Corporation.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: They're really really big on helping out animals.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: Huge and so we partner with the Canall Charleston Humane
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: Society and we basically did this huge pet adoption event
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: every single year. So funny story. Last year, I took
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: my daughter to this event and I promised my wife, Oh,
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: we're not adopting any animals because we have these two big,
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: huge Great Danes and they, you know, they're like they're
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: like children basically in our house. We've got three kids
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: and two Great Danes. So anyway, my daughter and I
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: go to the pet adoption event and she has the
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: uncanny ability to talk me into adopting two kittens. So
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: we get back home after telling my wife we're not
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: adopting anything, I promised show up with two cats in
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: a box.
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: Well did it work out? Go ahead's cowing over?
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: Okay, you know everybody loves the cats.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Now okay, well, how did it go over with the
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: relationship with the Great Danes and the cats?
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: Sou's a how is that dynamic?
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: Oh? Now that's funny because we have one male Great
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: Dan and one female Great Dane. The female great dane's
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: kind of old and she like the cats don't mess
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: with her at all. They smell and she's like the
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: real deal. The male is kind of a woosie, and
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: those cats honed in on that really quickly. And so
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: we have had to basically referee some fights between two
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: cats and a Great Dane. That is always very wild
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: to see. Now it's stopped now because we're a year
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: down the road, But when it first happened, they were
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: posturing for pecking order.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: Well, and the thing about it is, well, here's what
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: I know. I've got cats. I don't have dogs, but
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: I got cats, and I know cats control the house.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: And I'll guarantee you if there's a pecking order, those
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: cats will probably have already taken over that great dane spot.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: They did, Yeah, those they did really quickly. Now now
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: the older great Dane, they don't mess with her at all.
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: It's just funny because she's the.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Alpha, right yeah, well because she's really the one in charge.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: But but you're right about that. But yeah, and great Danes,
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: from what I know about them, tend to be kind
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: of big, old pussy cats anyway, no pun intended, So
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: they're a mental giants are kind of gentle giants. So
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: that event again, well I'll recap that a little bit
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: later on, but it's happening on October the eighteenth, eleven
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: to four at Dutch millerch suber U nineteen oh one
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Patrick Strick Plaza in Charleston. And let me just say,
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: I think it's great that what your family does for
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: animals and your employees, but also Subaru as a corporation. Again,
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: I have every Friday, Chris on the show, I have
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Angie Gillenwater from the Gonaal charlest and Humane Association on
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: every Friday with our dop me please Pet of the Week.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: And every week she's throwing out the name Subaru. She's saying, so,
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: you know, thank you so much to Subaru for this,
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: you know, uh clear the shelter event or whatever it
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: is that they're calling it.
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: I mean, suber is really invested in this.
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: Yes they are, and they're the real deal man. Of
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: all the manufacturers that we do business with, Suberu literally
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: practices what they preach and they really believe in giving
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: back to the community. And everybody loves pets and wants
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: to help out as best as possible. So you know,
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: why is it being this big, huge win win. Last
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: year we adopted seventy two animals, which was a record
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: for us at the super restore in Charleston.
• 38:08
  Speaker 20: Wow.
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: And so there were literally seventy two animals that were
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: rescued and given to Great Homes last year and we
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: got to beat that record. So everybody out there listening
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: right now, we need your help. We're gonna have all
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: kinds of awesome animals. Cats, dogs, puppies, kittens, you name it.
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: I don't think there's any cockatails or birds in this
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: adoption event this year, but.
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: You never know had you had them in the past.
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: The cocka tilS we had, No, we have not.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you because what I've learned and talking
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: to Angie every Friday, is they always got something that's
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: off the beaten path up there a little bit. I
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: mean they've had, you know, a couple of snakes and
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: they've had a couple of pigs, and you know, it's
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: like it's.
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: Like ei eio up there.
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: Man. It's kind of like, you know, life in our
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: household every single day. Oh gosh, exactly. Also, Dave and Davis,
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: who actually used to work with us at the super
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: dealership and now is in Nashville performing and making a living.
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: She's an up and coming artist. She's coming back up

• 39:16
  Speaker 5: a performance from Emmy Davis and it's just going to
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: be a blast of the time.

  Speaker 3: All right, sounds good and we'll remind the folks about
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: it twenty before we get there. That event again is

  Speaker 5: tell you that West Virginia is in an interesting place
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: because where we were two years ago versus where we
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: are now is basically the same thing. And West Virginia
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: has a major financial catastrophe coming. We have to add
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: two hundred thousand people to our state over the next
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: eight to ten years. Or because of the way that
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: the Affordable Care Act put pressure in rural states from
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: Medicare and Medicaid expansion, and our aging population and a
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: declining population. More and more of our state's budget is
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: going to be soaked up by the DHHR and required
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: for reinbursement for medicare to the point where we don't
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: have enough money to operate our general revenue budget. And
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: that's going to affect the bond ratings and put us
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: in a tail spin, and it's going to be really,
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: really ugly. And so the thing that I would encourage
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: all of the legislators out there listening and as well
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: as anybody in the executive branch, we need to have
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: a wholehearted focus on economic growth and development, focusing on
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: adding population to our state, because if we do not
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: do that, it is going to be a bad, bad day.
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: And what happens is is that it's the rural counties,
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: in the rural areas that get hit with the funding
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: reductions first. And we all know already that they're struggling.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: To begin with, right, I mean, you think about areas Chris,
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: like a McDowell County or a Boone count I'm just
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: using them as an example, and they're several in the
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: northern part of the state as well. More rural areas
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: that are really starting to suffer. And we're seeing tremendous
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: growth where I live in Putnam County right now, the
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: Eastern Panhandle Sea.
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: But we got to figure.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: Out a way to be able to distribute this because
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: these counties can't carry the load for everybody.
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: And I don't know how you go about that. What
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: would your plan be? I mean, you know you're smart, guy,
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: So what's your plan.
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: Whenever I'm looking at something, I swat it right. Strengths
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: weakens his opportunity threats. We have an incredible amount of strengths.
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: We have the ability to produce massive amounts of energy.
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: We have more water than any other state in the country.
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: We got more miles of river than anybody else, and
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: we own the Ohio River to the high water mark
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: of Ohio. And if you think about where we are
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: right now, everything is going to be about artificial intelligence.
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: And we are not a part of the coating. We
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: are not a part of the stock ownership. We are
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: not a part of the creation of the entity that
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: is going to transcend and create the largest wealth separation
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: that we have ever seen. But what we have is
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: what they need because it takes massive amounts of water
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: to manufacture the Cubit and the other artificial intelligence computation ships.
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: It takes massive amounts of water to cool the servers
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: required to handle all this computation power, and it takes
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: massive amounts of power to generate the computation needed for
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: all of the artificial intelligence. And so what I believe
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: West Virginia's opportunity is is two things. One, we should
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: leverage all of our resources to dramatically reduce the cost
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: of power, and I'm talking about seventy to eighty percent reduction,
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: and you use that as the foundation of all of
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: our economic growth and development, because power is going to
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: be looked at as a fixed cost in the future,
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: and businesses are going to need it and it is
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: going to continue to raise in cost. And so our
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: one differentiator in the emerging twenty first century economy to
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: drive our population over our economy can be leverage all
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: of our resources to be the cheapest state in the
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: country when it comes to power, and they will come
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: to us. Also. You think about Jim and Susie Adkins,
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: and they're both on Social Security and they're seventy years old.
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: You cut their power bill by seventy percent, You've done
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: something incredibly impactful for them as well. And that's what
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: I consider to be good government right there. Also, they've
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: just to add insult injury. If we don't do this,
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: it gets really bad. And the opportunities there, and we
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: can turn West Virginia into the battery of the East
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: Coast and dramatically export our power, dramatically increase our power
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: production and become the battery for the East Coast and
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: take our place in the emerging twenty first century economy.
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: That's the play. That's what we have to do. All
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: the other stuff out there that we're hearing talking Lise
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: is just nothing more than words and dialogue. It is
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: not a plan, and it is not executable. This is executable.
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: That's why we need more business people in Holts in
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: government right now?
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: All right, So we I want to get about a
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: minute left here. We need more business people involved in government.
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: You're a business person, yes, sir, just saying.
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: I'm not going anywhere. The next opportunity that presents itself,
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: I'm in. I'm gonna do everything I can to help
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: the say to West Virginia.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: All right, So you're not saying that your career is
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: done because you ran for governor you're I'm not asking
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: you for a commitment to anything, but you're gonna be
• 45:28

  Speaker 3: Couple texts here text says, so ice is repelling from
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: helicopters onto apartment buildings in the middle of the night,
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: then break into the apartments to remove people from their homes,
• 48:18

• 48:20
  Speaker 3: box trucks taking them to detention centers to see if
• 48:23

  Speaker 3: Chicago Coop tells me Tuxa, Texas. Trump is saying he's
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: going to pay. He's not going to pay. I'm sorry
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: furloughed federal employees their backpay. Typical Trump not to pay employees.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: That's a common thing throughout its history. A real man
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: of the working people right there, says.
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: Texture Texas Dave.
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: I still think repurposing unused portable classrooms to help with
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: the shelter overflows all of the state would make a
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: huge impact.
• 48:58
  Speaker 6: We have.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: We have such a kind of generous community of business owners, contractors,
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: and citizens who I believe, if explained the goal and
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: has to help, would not hesitate to volunteer time supplies
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: some funds to repurpose the insides of those buildings to
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: make them fit for animals. So many have to be
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: turned away here, and sadly we still have shelters in
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: the state that euthanized to quote make room this could end.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: Please consider that, says it's ekster.
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: Tex says, two.
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: Hundred thousand more West Virginian's day. If you're gonna have
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: to help us repopulate the state, get cracking.
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: No, no, that's a hard no. Uh, let me see.
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: Tex says, we will never grow until we get away
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: from bowing down to coal barons and start getting the
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: jobs like Toyota to locate here. Kentucky doesn't have this problem,
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: just West Virginia. Well, there's a lot of coal and
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: quote unquote cole barons in Kentucky as well. It's nine
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: fifty seven and I mentioned this earlier. State Cenator Mike

• 50:25
  Speaker 3: on this show tomorrow, homecoming for the Marshall Thundering Herd.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: We're going to get into that story and talk about
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: some of the things going on there with the alumni
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: folks at Canaw Valley Alumni folks here in Charleston just
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: got that chapter up and running.

• 50:47
  Speaker 3: to stop by as well. That's all coming up on
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: tomorrow's show. Tex says, Dave. Did you see knock of
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: Joseph Gibbels aka Stephen Miller glitch out on CNN when
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: he said Trump Trump had power plenary power means absolute authority.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: Seems like he said the quiet part out loud. We
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: all know Trump and maga's end end goals absolute authority,
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: says a Texter text says, we're getting to the point
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: where the danger is the criminals attempting to destroy the
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: country through MAGA and Project twenty five are starting to
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: realize they're going to get routed at elections. Can we
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: agree that the moment the idea of messing with elections
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: at all is too far that we almost rise up
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: and stop the hostile takeover by foreign bought businessmen and
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: amoral perverts running the country. Text says deep state swine
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: James Comy will be indicted. Hold on, and they sent
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: me another text that it erased the first text deep
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: state Swine James Comy will be indicted in a few moments.
• 51:51
  Speaker 6: Just wanted to.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: Put the great news out there, says a Texter. All Right,
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: lots of stuff we covered on the show today, and
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: again I do want to say, going back to first
