Ogunquit

So that's an update to our last episode, 615.

We did, Aaron and I pulled the trigger on the oceanfront place in Ogunquit, Maine.

Yeah, I'll send you some pictures for sure.

But lest anyone was worried, we did in fact do it.

It's wild.

I feel like Ogonquit always has like so many really great shows that are in that like new, very developmental stage.

And then they always seem to, I'll be like, oh, that's really cool.

That's there.

And one of these days I gotta get to Maine.

What is that gay town there? Ogunquit.

Ogunquit?

Yep.

Yeah.

It's in like southern Maine.

Those are clearly signs.

Is a giant rooster on the side of the road a sign? In Ogunquit, Maine, local officials say it is, and they're threatening a homeowner with a bunch of fines if they don't remove the roosters from their front yard.

Important property rights and First Amendment issues at play here, and that's what we're going to take a look at today.

Hi, folks.

Thanks for joining us on this edition of American Radio Journal.

My guest today is Daniel Woislaw.

He's an attorney with the Institute for Justice, and they have recently gotten involved in this situation in Ogunquit, Maine, where the town is telling a couple of homeowners that they've got to remove their rooster statues from in front of their house.

Daniel, thank you for joining us and talking about the situation here.

Uh, um, let me tell you.

Before I launched, before I flew to Georgia to start my tour proper, um, I had a show not far from here in Ogunquit, Maine.

Mm-hmm.

And it was a show in, uh, a space called the Levitt Theater.

He was 63, hard of hearing, and alone for the moment.

His wife Clara was recovering from an illness in an artist colony in Ogunquit, Maine, where their daughter Esther was also staying.

Whiteside had returned to Philadelphia only a few days earlier to prepare for another season of teaching.

About 10, 10 p.m., the doorbell rang.
