Episode Highlights:

Grab your favorite mug and settle in—this episode is purr-fectly brewed! We kick things off with some of the “cool cats” who are reshaping our city through economic development and urban renewal, turning ideas into action. Then, we stop by a local coffee shop that’s serving more than cappuccinos—it’s helping whiskered friends find their forever homes. Finally, Dr. Leslie Ogden joins us to share a sneak peek at exciting announcements at the hospitals.

It’s coffee, cats, and community—where good ideas percolate and good things take shape.

Episode Highlights:

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery…Will the real Neil Diamond please stand up?

In this episode, we lean into the sparkle and the spectacle—talking with guests connected to a Neil Diamond tribute band headed to Chinook Winds Casino Resort, and shining a light on Song Sung Blue, now playing at the Bijou Theatre. The film, based on a true story, explores the heart, humor, and humanity behind tribute music—and why these songs still hit home.

Then we widen the lens from stage lights to city lights with Sandy Gruber, talking Community Days and the many ways Lincoln City proves itself to be a real diamond of a place. From music and movies to celebration and community, this episode is all about what dazzles—and why it matters.
