Davisville, Jan. 8, 2018: Introducing Paul’s Place, a new housing/homeless resource in Davis

Tue, 01/09/2018 - 9:45am | Bill Buchanan

1111 h st 01 rendering jpeg.jpg

Homelessness is a top concern for Davis business owners and downtown residents. To the mix of ideas for addressing the problem, you can add a new idea that already has a location, design and backers – Paul’s Place, a combination of micro-apartments, transitional housing and services. It would replace the current resource center and transitional housing operated by Davis Community Meals and Housing at 1111 H St. Martha Teeter, president of Davis Opportunity Village, and Bill Pride, executive director of DCMH, talk about the project on today’s Davisville. Davis architect Maria Ogrydziak is the designer. A fund-raising campaign to raise the cost through private donations is in the works.

Davisville, Dec. 11, 2017: Retirements in 2018 will bring changes to the Davis Enterprise

Mon, 12/11/2017 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Bruce Gallaudet Dec 2017.jpg

When Bruce Gallaudet announced he was retiring as sports editor of the Davis Enterprise, I took the occasion to ask him to come on the show. He has had an eclectic career, and knows more stories than we could ever get to. Halfway through the interview he said his wife, Debbie Davis, has also decided to retire from the Enterprise on March 2, and that’s major news in Davis—she has been editor of the paper since taking over from Bruce in the early 1980s. Today's interview ended up in two halves. The first part is about sports, why it can produce such good journalism, and the large personalities it attracts. The second part is about changes in community journalism, the state of the Enterprise, the plan he and Debbie have to move to the San Francisco Peninsula after they retire, and more.

Misner and Smith

KDRT will broadcast direct and live from Armadillo Music in Davis, CA, for 2nd Friday ArtAbout on December 8th. This month will be a real treat as one of the favorite duos in California perform. Soaring vocal harmonies and story-filled, poetic songwriting, Misner & Smith's sound harkens back to the bedrock of modern American rock and folk. Paying tribute to strong influences like Simon & Garfunkel, The Band, and Buffalo Springfield, they invent a sound all their own, seducing listeners with music that captures longing and belonging in the same moment. Their partnership in music is a search for meaning. The songs yearn for connection, ache for understanding, relish in mystery, and rejoice in creation. In a world that often feels to be crumbling down around us, they dig deep and find hope in simple things, in the beauty that surrounds us all.

Misner & Smith's latest release is Headwaters, a collection of covers. Please join us December 8th for the live broadcast from Armadillo, or if you're outside the listening area, please listen online at kdrt.org.
