Leonard Tose losing his trucking company by gambling it all away in AC. The MOVE seige and subsequent fire, which happened just a few blocks from where I lived. Teddy Pendergrass's little "accident" in Wissahickon Park. An incident with a gerbil that ended the career of an extremely popular Philadelphia media personality. Many personal problems and experiences that had to be worked through. My first exposure to "the homeless," who my Philadelphia friends called "vent men" at the time. Many, many others.
But Donald Trump was a presence. I heard a story at one of the jobs I had in NJ that Donald Trump had paid off a guy's mortgage after the guy pulled over to offer assistance to a limo that was pulled off on the shoulder of the NJ Turnpike; the limo happened to be carrying Donald Trump and some of his AC staff. This was after the helicopter crash that claimed the lives of some of his top people as they were commuting from NYC to AC for meetings. When that happened, btw, Donald Trump was interviewed and he was quite emotional, really shocked and nearly unable to speak.
Okay at this point I would say you know quite a bit more New York stories than I do and I have lived here and worked in Manhattan for 20 years :-).
Maybe the radio covers more topics than the newspapers.
Or maybe my memory just sucks or yours is great :-)
