Burgers, music, gumbo and the spirit of survival at Kooper’s North
The games are on, the music is perfect and the food is terrific, which is why we keep coming back to Kooper’s North in Mays Chapel. And, of course, the gumbo! On the final day of “A Cup Of Soup Or Bowl,” we reconvened with our favorite two-time cancer survivor Terry Beck, who tells his journey and support of LLS and many other charities via the “Burger Of The Month” in Timonium and Fell’s Point.
From Paris, with Accelerent, hot wings and charity for LLS Visionary research
Our defending Accelerent champion and runner-up for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society “Visionary Of The Year,” Cate Paris joins Nestor to discuss networking the right way, raising money to beat cancer and a future career in improv comedy from State Fare on “A Cup Of Soup or Bowl Week” in Catonsville.
How and why The Y continues to lift our community with federal support
Our defending champion of community returns to Koco’s Pub on “A Cup of Soup or Bowl Week” as John Hoey of The Y joins Nestor to discuss community programs like Head Start affected by federal money and why community schools matter in the neighborhoods that need them the most.
Positively changing people’s attitudes about blindness
As “A Cup Of Soup or Bowl” moved to Kooper’s North, Jessica Normington of Blind Industries and Services of Maryland joined Nestor to open his eyes to the many needs of the blind community and how every citizen could help empower the incredible humans who inspire us all on the streets of Baltimore and beyond. And, Maurice, if you’re still out there…
Ricig: Drawing the tough sports cartoons comes along with the news
One of the best parts of “A Cup of Soup Or Bowl” is getting all over town and seeing our best sports pals and talking Orioles and Ravens. Legendary sports cartoonist Mike Ricigliano – aka “Ricig” – joins Nestor for some real Ravens’ community talk with the thud to the Bills and Justin Tucker allegations along with high hopes for the Orioles and summer fun. Let our Ko-Host draw you his mental map to cartooning tough issues and controversial topics from Koco’s Pub.
Meet the man who rescues food at 4MyCity
There aren’t enough folks addressing food waste and hunger in America. Chris Dipnarine tells Nestor the amazing sustainability and food story of 4MyCity and feeding folks in West Baltimore through inspiration and perspiration on our annual “A Cup Of Soup Or Bowl” week of community triumphs.
Lighting the Torch for the good news in Towson
As “A Cup Of Soup Or Bowl” week moved around town, we were moved and inspired by all of the great things happening all over Baltimore. On Day 5 at Kooper’s North, Nestor was joined by “No One Listens” documentary pal Gregg Landry of Towson Transfers and local media guru Chris Forhan, formerly of The Baltimore Banner, whose new local project spotlighting the “news you can use” approach of the new Towson Torch was a great way to discuss community and positive news right where WNST and Baltimore Positive reside.
