The SAFE Alliance is preparing to make millions of dollars in cuts starting this summer. This could include closing a downtown shelter and the end of services that provide additional housing assistance for people leaving abusive situations.

Model Railroading has been a popular hobby pretty much as long as trains have been around. Steven Jacobs has been a fan for about half a century. He spoke with Mike Lee about it for the This is My Thing Podcast.
