Homelessness In Yonkers: City Wants To Shut Down Services For Homeless

Before the city of Yonkers started shutting down services for the homeless themselves it tried other methods. Allegedly, at meetings for years the city’s development commissioner Wilson Kimball had pressured Saint John’s Church (their landlord) to close them down. Once she reportedly turned to the (now former) priest and said “why don’t you just cut their lease.”

The city and county agreed to…

As if my previous suggestion for a new online/worldband radio station concept, "Radio Hanna-Barbera" by name and stylee, wasn't good enough, consider these possibilities for jingles and drop-ins during the broadcast day, all based on Hanna-Barbera show themes.

(As for the top-of-the-hour continuity signal, the Cattanooga Cats Theme will ably serve the role. Unless you have something better to suggest in this capacity.)

So here goes:
