An old man leaps to his death from the Sagamore Bridge spanning the Cape Cod Canal. A clear case of suicide? Perhaps not, once Captain Underhill reads about it in the newspaper. Now, using the same bridge for his own cat and mouse purposes, Captain Underhill takes the killer for a ride…

Love these on the radio as a kid but they are what they are. Story doesn’t hold great.

Alexandra Lange now turns her sharp eye to another subject we only think we know. She chronicles post-war architects’ and merchants’ invention of the mall, revealing how the design of these marketplaces played an integral role in their cultural ascent. In Lange’s perceptive account, the mall becomes newly strange and rich with contradiction: Malls are environments of both freedom and exclusion—of consumerism, but also of community. Meet Me by the Fountain is a highly entertaining and evocative promenade through the mall’s story of rise, fall and ongoing reinvention.

I’ve spent a decade fetishizing the videos of dead malls with the somber vapor wave playing in the background, entranced by the decline of mid to late twentieth century consumer culture. This book puts that decline, those videos, and the communities at the heart of our shopping ecosystem into perspective. Lange’s intensive scholarship is supplemented by case studies, trips in the field, and a host of great scholars cited throughout. This book was really fantastic. I am going to listen to it again now. Highly, highly recommend.
Note: three stars for performance, as the narrator mispronounces something at least once a chapter, typically a venue or scholar being cited.

The Last Days of New York: A reporter’s true tale tells the story of how a corrupted political system hollowed out New York City, leaving it especially vulnerable, all in the name of equity and “fairness”. When, in the future, people ask how New York City fell to pieces, they can be told - quoting Hemingway - “gradually, then suddenly”. New Yorkers awoke from a slumber of ease and prosperity to discover that their glorious city was not only unprepared for crisis, but that the underpinnings of its fortune had been gutted by the reckless mismanagement of Bill de Blasio.

Great book bad narrator
Revisado: 04-02-22
Great book but the narrator mispronounces a lot of names: Jumaane Williams, Ed Koch, Joe Percoco, just to name a few. Awesome material and content otherwise.
