Cycling Innovators: The Bicycle Cellar
Bicyclists are hard-pressed to find any of the infrastructure that cars have enjoyed for decades. Outside of ugly bike racks and narrow bike lanes, there's not much else that many cities offer. Arizona is famous for its spread-out suburban communities that make cars a necessity. If you bicycle for any other reason that for fun, however, these miles of peaceful neighborhoods are the bane of your existence.
The Bicycle Cellar in Tempe, Arizona is a beacon of change as Arizonans turn more and more to alternative transportation. I've lived in the Phoenix Metro area my entire life and its almost jaw-dropping how quickly the car culture is transforming here. While the Cellar is Arizona's only full bicycle support center, its basic operating principles are easy to imitate and bring to other Arizona and U.S. cities. Think of it as a Y for bikes.
I was lucky enough to get Cellar's GM, Tom Tomczyk, on camera for a quick interview. If you like what you see, this piece is one of several I've published on my transportation blog, Rubbernecks Anonymous (

The Chef
With his roots planted in New Orleans, Cory developed a love for cooking at a very young age from his grandmother and the long line of chefs in his family.
When he followed the family tradition and became a chef himself his desire for quality experiences and knowledgeable mentors guided him every step of the way.
Cory has been very particular in his career path, starting with a respected and classical culinary school. After graduation he focused his sights on the very best, high profile kitchens.
He worked with the legendary Jeremiah Towers at Stars Bar and Dining in Seattle, as well as many Phoenix area favorites, such as The Latilla Room at The Boulders Resort, Desert Mountain, The Farm at South Mountain, and The Wigwam Resort.
Each of these experiences has reinforced the strong foundation of quality and innovation started many years ago in his grandmother’s New Orleans kitchen.

Wisconsin citizens offer opinions on high-speed rail
Hundreds of Madison residents packed into a jammed conference room on Madison's east side Tuesday to voice their concerns and ideas about high-speed rail systems in Wisconsin.
Mayor Dave Cieslewicz and Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk were both in attendance to support Madison residents who spoke in favor of the project.
The meeting focused on a study about the proposed passenger rail line between Milwaukee and the Twin Cities.
Officials said they hoped the meeting would allow constituents to voice their concerns about the possible routes and their environmental impacts, Charles Quandel, President of Quandel Consultants, the association heading up the study, said.
The study is working to identify the best alternative transportation routes.

WPT In Wisconsin - Milwaukee Streetcars
There has been a lot of talk about a controversial high speed train between Milwaukee and Madison. At the same time another form of rail service is flying under the radar. Kenosha has been operating retro street cars for a decade, Madison's Mayor has talked about the idea, but now Wisconsin's largest city is on track to get low speed rail. Contributing producer Fred Wessel found there is support but not everyone is on board.
