OUR TOWN with host Maryanne McNellis Alternating Tuesdays and repeats the following Sunda <https://mcusercontent.com/6df05bfd2eaa0ab6bf92aa5cf/images/fe3793aa-3be3-1ba8-4c80-30c0c990e8be.jpg> y, both 12:30-1pm Jun 1 Maryanne interviews Jose Borrayo, the owner of the PT Garden Center. Jose’s a classic entrepreneur. He started out as the maintenance guy at the Garden Center and after years of hard work and study he ended up owning the place. He’s been through some challenging times. During the pandemic his main supplier of plant starts and herbs went out of business. So he ended up buying land and erecting a large greenhouse. Now he grows his own. That results in better prices both for him and for his customers. He’s also expanding into landscaping, partnering with his brother. Jose’s insatiable curiosity has led him to read and absorb every label. When it comes to gardens he’s now a finely tuned expert. June 10 / 15 Maryanne interviews Tyler Zwirtz, the owner Type Townsend Studio, a rather unique shop in downtown PT that specializes in old typewriters and various antiques. Tyler was, well, one of those kids who started serious collecting of typewriters when he was about 10 years old. By the time he was in his early 20’s he had seven storage lockers strung across the country. He was living in Seattle and exploring the Northwest. When he hit Port Townsend, he fell in love with the town, so he moved here without a job in sight. But he stumbled onto the shop, and it turned out the previous owner was shutting down. But he bought it. It turned out the seven storage lockers had more than enough inventory to open his own shop. He’s now celebrating the shop’s one-year birthday. And, believe it or not, he’s making money!

June 3 & 6 Episode 73 We’re in Gansu Province, and we’ve just left the town of Jiayuguan and past the fort on the Jiayuguan Path. The fort is where merchants stopped in ancient times to pay tolls, and travelers stopped to have their papers checked. Then they headed into the desert. Many wrote poems on the walls of the fort before heading into the unknown. Visitors still write poems, although the subject matter isn’t quite so ominous and heartrending as it once was…. June 10 & 13 Episode 74 We’re rolling down the asphalt on our way from Jiayuguan to Dunhuang. We finally left the snow-capped ridges of the Qilian mountains behind and traded them in for the eroded red and gray of the Gansu Badlands.
