A writer for the New York Times is starting an online radio show tonight at 11 p.m. EST, called Save P.I.: The Radio Revolution, with one goal in mind:
"To persuade the powers-that-be at the Walt Disney World Resort to scrap plans developed to close their Pleasure Island attractions at Downtown Disney."It will run nightly at 11pm. Pleasure Island fans can call in and voice their concerns, opinions and memories to 347-633-9577.
“In this ‘Year of a Million Dreams’ at Disney Parks, we are genuinely hoping our wishes will be granted... We do not want to see these important historical and cultural markers for so many to disappear.”At the same time P.I. fans are losing Pleasure Island, Orlando might be losing something else:

Host, Save P.I.: The Radio Revolution
"Mad Cow (Theatre) needs to find a new home soon because of an expiring lease agreement and expiring rent subsidies. Allowing Mad Cow to suffocate slowly would be a shame. It's the only professional nonprofit theater with a home in the city's core, drawing about 17,000 people a year into the downtown area." (Source: Orlando Sentinel)Does anyone want to start a petition, myspace group, facebook group, online radio show, or any other form of social media, to help raise awareness of THIS cultural marker?
