WYPR: Midday with Dan Rodricks Podcast show

Summary: After World War II, Baltimore had numerous social and pleasure clubs for the working man; it seemed like there was one on every corner. But as manufacturing declined and people moved to the suburbs, many social clubs disappeared. Today, however, some are enjoying a resurgence and looking to rejuvenate their ranks with a new generation. We talk with members of the Arch Social Club on Pennsylvania Avenue; Ducky’s Pleasure Club in Canton; and the Polish Home Club in Fells Point. (Original Air Date: April 25th)
