Researched episode by episode\, the book finally explains those dated references to people\, politics and events from the 1980s that made up so much of the show’s humor. In 1998\, he launched EmptyNestTV.com\, a website devoted to the Golden Girls spinoff series Empty Nest\, which has led to multiple articles and interviews with the show’s cast and crew. Matt’s other works include “Bookstore Explorer: West Virginia\,” a celebration of the state’s indie bookstore culture\, and “Chicks and the City\,” a children’s picture book about urban farming. He lives in Charleston\, West Virginia. \nDavid Mathews started the Facebook campaign that led to Betty White hosting Saturday Night Live in 2010. A Golden Girls fan since a childhood trip to Florida\, where he saw a replica of their home at then-MGM studios\, he developed a near-encyclopedic knowledge of the show by his early 20s. He loves all four lead actresses\, but especially the late Bea Arthur\, and\, of course\, Betty White. Along with countless interviews and charity events\, David and his husband recently attended the first-ever Golden-Con in Chicago\, Illinois\, where David regaled the audience with his experiences with Betty through the SNL campaign and after.

SUMMARY:Chicks and the City Book Chat
DESCRIPTION:Headline Books will host an online book chat with author Matt Browning and John Porter\, urban agriculture program coordinator for Nebraska Extension\, Friday\, November 20\, at 3 p.m. EST\, as part of their Zoom into Books virtual platform. The event will feature a reading and discussion of Browning’s new book\, “Chicks and the City\,” a kid-friendly exploration of urban agriculture that recently received an Honorable Mention at the New York Book Festival. \n“The concept of urban agriculture has grown exponentially in recent years as people in cities and towns have become increasingly interested in growing their own food\,” said Browning. “You don’t have to live on a large farm with acres of land to be a successful small-scale farmer\, and this book illustrates examples of how to do that for young people.” \nIn the book\, Chicken Stu\, a barnyard bird\, watches the city from atop a silo and longs to visit. He makes his way there and discovers the many ways farming happens in downtown areas\, like urban orchards\, community gardens\, farmer’s markets and chicken coops. \n“Adventures like those of Chicken Stu show kids that farms can be anywhere and farmers can be anyone\, no matter who or where they are\,” Porter said. “It also introduces them to the fact that food starts out somewhere else before it gets to the grocery store – whether it is a big farm somewhere far away or their neighbors farming on previously vacant city lots. Agriculture is everywhere\, and agriculture is life.” \nThe idea stemmed from the rise in urban farming that Porter was seeing in West Virginia cities during his tenure as an extension agent with West Virginia University. Porter and Browning were part of the original planning team for the annual West Virginia Urban Agriculture Conference in 2014\, now held annually at West Virginia State University. \nViewers of the Zoom into Books book chat will be able to order personalized copies during the event\, which will be broadcast live on the Headline Books Zoom into Books Facebook page.
