"The St. Charles Hotel sat against Mission Hill Bluff at the corner of Mission Street and River Street (now North Pacific Avenue)," writes Ross Eric Gibson. "Proprietor Joseph Bloch (pronounced 'Block') was waiting for his brother-in-law to arrive from Cincinnati, the most famous rabbi in America: the Rev. Dr. Isaac M. Wise, founder of Reform Judaism. It was early August 1877, the weather was perfect, Santa Cruz was beautiful, and Bloch was proprietor of this palatial hotel."
Fans of NPR’s “Radiolab” will be thrilled to find out that the show is hosting a live storytelling experience this Saturday at Unity Temple led by the radio show’s senior producer Simon Adler.Adler will take audience members through the wonders of the cassette tape, a piece of technology that changed the world – and gave rise to a new kind of love letter: the mixtape. And despite its early ubiquity, the cassette, now considered obsolete, is not that well understood, according to Adler. “One of the reasons I was so drawn to these strange little objects is, to me, they were this turning point, this fulcrum around which society tipped because here, for the first time, in the cassette tape, you had a medium that was small, that was re-recordable, that was mobile,” he explained. Called “Mixtapes to the Moon: How the Cassette Changed the World,” the live show explores the impact of the cassette and its best friend, the Walkman.
