This week's episode is an audio recording of a 311-mile bicycle tour along the Ohio-to-Erie Trail, from Cleveland to Cincinnati.
The Ohio-to Erie Trail is a network of regional, off-road trails in Ohio that's more than three-quarters complete. The leg near Cincinnati runs 78 miles and is paved over an old railroad line. Near Cleveland, the trail follows the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath. It also passes through Amish country in Holmes County, on rural highways and along many small, regional trails.
This four-day journey was completed by Bill Williams and Stephen Carter-Novotni on Labor Day weekend 2009.
This week we present a recorded visit to the Flight 93 National Memorial in rural Pennsylvania.
This week we'll speak with Larry Bourgeois. Larry is the director of 1801 Mills and promotes the idea of Third Place, places such as coffeehouses and bookstores that are the heart of a community's intellectual life. His organization offers support and training to groups wanting to open coffee houses. (See Elizabeth Wu's interview with Bourgeois about Third Place in CityBeat's 2009 Swizzle Bar Guide.)
Third Place is also the theme of CityBeat's 2009 Annual Manual, our locals' guide to Cincinnati.
Former Mafia enforcer Anthony Fiato tells stories from his life of crime. Fiato was the subject of the memoir The Animal In Hollywood by John Smith which was published in 1998. The interview was recorded the same year.
