P*Town Raid, Pulitzers & Who Throws Away a Warhol?

Listen Later

Officials say the raid at P*Town last weekend was an occupancy check — one they seemingly failed and which could put their liquor license in jeopardy. We're in the last stretch of the mayoral primary, and we’re talking about the group chat supporting incumbent Ed Gainey, a union call to remove the mayor’s COO for alleged anti-police bias, and criticism of Corey O’Connor for leaving a candidate forum early to attend a fundraiser. Plus, a famous Andy Warhol print seems to have ended up in Dutch trash, and there are a bunch of fun book events coming this weekend and beyond.
