Frank hangs with Smokehouse Executive Chef, Reggie Hallett this week. They talk about the energy in Trenton, Reggie's vision, and Reggie takes part in the new Trenton Waves segment, "Favorite Things".

Below is a link to a video commemorating Taste Trenton and the Mill Hill Garden Tour.

Frank and Christina sit with Trenton Residesnt, Edwin Torress this week. In 2016, Torres was the lead photographer and contributed reporting in a Pulitzer Prize winning story with ProPublica and the New York Daily News. He is a former member of the Bronx Photo League which is attached to The Bronx Documentary Center (BDC) and published the Jerome Avenue Worker's Project. 
​His work has been published in the New York Times, Vice, The Atlantic, The New York Daily News, The American Prospect, ProPublica, The GroundTruth Project, Leica Blog, and several other outlets.

Large faces on billboards and small grants to community groups and individuals are part of the strategy of I Am Trenton, a group celebrating its 10th anniversary of actively supporting Trenton projects by becoming more visible — and hoping to get some support in the process.
Frank and Christina record remotely this week to sit and talk with recently elected president Jon Carl Lewis.

If you know anything about the history of Marvel's "Avengers", this podcast title should ring some bells for you. Captain America would always shout it just before the entire team was needed. "Avengers, Assemble! " It's like, prior to the cry, the Avengers are all scattered and haphazard and each of them is attacking on their own, and then Cap is like, "Avengers, Pull Together!" That's what assemble means, to pull together. So it's a way of saying, get this stuff organized and work together and then it all comes together and they all attack together as an organized, "assembled" force as opposed to attacking as individuals. And that's exactly Will Foskey's message is this week to Trentonians.  
Will Foskey is not "politically correct".  He's not a "people pleaser". He's not a "sycophant", a "Yes-Man", or a "butt kisser". He's a bit of a nerd, is a movie and film Aficionado, is extremely skilled at his craft, and is a leader. Trenton Waves, and Frank and Christina, consider him a very good friend and we wish there were more like him.

Frank and Christina are on remore this week talking to the staff at the BSB Gallery in Trenton, NJ. The Trenton Downtown Association (TDA) opened the BSB Gallery on Saturday, February 10 at 143 East State Street, the former Broad Street Bank Building at the corner of Montgomery and East State streets.
The gallery is a contribution, from the TDA, to the Creek to Canal Creative District (C2C), Trenton’s first arts and cultural district. Organizers say it will be used as a platform to promote and recognize “all the extraordinary art being created in our capital city.”

Bernard McMullan sits with the Sasso's this week to discuss a great event in Trenton, NJ, "Taste Trenton".

"We know people come in for special events but then quickly depart or don't come early because they don't think there's anywhere to eat before going to a concert or a game," said Trenton civic activist, Bernard McMullan, "We'd like to change that mindset."

Frank is on location this week at Trenton Social with TC Nelson. Hidden in the shadows of the Sun National Bank Arena on South Broad Street is Trenton Social. Outside the restaurant and bar, small tree branches hover over an outdoor eating area and low lights lead to a side entrance. Inside, the atmosphere is intimate, modern and chic.
“I want South Broad Street to be our Bourbon Street and the arena, the Sun National Bank Center, to be our Madison Square Garden,” Trenton Social owner T.C. Nelson said, describing his vision for Trenton.

Christina is on location this week at the Passage Theater to talk to Ryanne Domingues about her role at Passage. Ryanne had the pleasure of directing plays that challenge and excite audiences for over 15 years. Born and raised in Altoona, Pennsylvania, she received her undergraduate degree from Bloomsburg University while working on various productions with the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble. Following graduation and a yearlong directing and dramaturgy internship with Portland Stage Company, she spent six years in Philadelphia working for a variety local theatres, including The Wilma Theater, InterAct Theatre Company, and Plays & Players Theatre. During this time, she also co-founded and served as the Producing Artistic Director of Simpatico Theatre, where she directed a variety of shows whose themes reflected the company’s mission to encourage active dialogue that promotes positive social change in the community. During this time, she also participated in the 2008 Lincoln Center Director’s Lab and the La MaMa Umbria International Symposium for Directors.

Frank is on location this week at the Thunder Stadium to talk with GM Jeff Hurley. Under Hurley's leadership, the Thunder recently completed their 25th season at ARM & HAMMER Park; a campaign that hosted three of the 20 largest crowds in franchise history. The Thunder welcomed a total of 351,297 fans which was the fourth highest total in the Eastern League and the highest total for the franchise since the 2014 season. The 2018 Eastern League All-Star Classic, presented by Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, welcomed the 9th largest crowd in franchise history when 8,296 fans watched the league's stars face-off on Wednesday, July 11.
