Bodega Cats Get a Bill, Artists Fight Authoritarianism, and Model Trains at the Botanical Gardens

A new bill in the City Council could finally make bodega cats legal residents of New York’s corner stores. WFUV’s Xenia Gonikberg reports on what the change would mean for bodega owners and their feline coworkers. Across the country this week, hundreds of cultural institutions, artists, businesses, and organizers are joining a coordinated protest against rising authoritarianism. WFUV’s Sienna Reinders explains the national “Fall of Freedom” action and why New Yorkers are participating. And in the Bronx, the New York Botanical Garden has opened its 34th annual Holiday Train Show, complete with miniature railroads weaving through handcrafted replicas of iconic city landmarks. WFUV’s Joseph Vizza takes us inside the Garden’s seasonal favorite.
