Valentine's Day <3

Tue, 02/14/2017 - 6:05pm | Rocket Drew

It's Valentine's Day! That means free candy today and cheap candy tomorrow! It also means Rocket reads an account of the history of Valentine's cards which is also effectively just the history of Valentine's Day. In searching for such a history, Rocket also stumbled across an account of a man in Florida in the 1940's whose girlfriend died and who took her from her coffin to preserve her body and live with her. Everyone celebrates love differently? Happy Valentine's Day! This show kicks off with a real sweet song for this holiday: "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran. it just so happens that he performed this song the other night at the Grammy's. In fact, all of the music on this show is related to the Grammy's. "Chained to the Rhythm" by Katy Perry featured a really cool choreographed routine with a house that was taken apart and intricate projections. Rocket also plays "Freedom" from Beyonce's Lemonade.

Davisville, Feb. 13, 2017: Davis Hunts Sweet Spot for its Budding Marijuana Law

Mon, 02/13/2017 - 7:55pm | Bill Buchanan

Davis is calmly (at least so far) going about the business of creating a city marijuana law, now that Proposition 64 has legalized recreational use of pot in California. The state ballot measure gave Davis, like every town in the state, several choices: Allow growing outdoors? Do you permit retail marijuana shops, and if so where? What about enforcement? How will all this synchronize with what the county, state and federal governments opt to do? On today’s show, Davis City Manager Dirk Brazil and Chief Innovation Officer Diane Parro talk about the current status, decisions facing Davis, what other cities are doing, and developments to date, including comments from the first “community conversation” this month.
