Happy New Year, CCOCers. The new Crosley Supper Club is open, a joint effort of
the Powel Crosley Estate Foundation, Manatee County and Milan Catering and Event
Design. The venture will help provide the money the foundation uses to preserve
the charm and elegance of the Powel Crosley estate at 8374 N. Tamiami Trial in
Sarasota.

The Crosley Supper Club is very un-Crosleylike. It's membership-based, with all
fees going to the foundation. Each month, the chefs create a four-course dinner
with locally-supplied fresh ingredients. Dinner service starts at 6 p.m.
followed by late-night entertainment and a cigar-and-brandy bar starting at 8
p.m.. Events finish at 10 p.m.

Dinners offer three choices of dinner entrées and optional wine and bar service.
Milan Catering also provides the event management and catering for the
foundation's galas. Click New Photos for a preview.

Here's a profile of George Sanderson:

Manatee County, Florida: The Powel Crosley Theater, run by Manatee County's
Bradenton Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, didn't offer its traditional "A
Victorian Christmas" production in December, and will also not be producing any
other shows this winter or spring. Anne Van Wormer, the business manager for the
Bradenton Area Convention Center and Powel Crosley Estate, said the county
workers who run the theater "got too busy with other things this year.", citing
the recent renovation of the Bradenton Area Convention Center as the main
reasons. Productions at The Powel Crosley Theater will return this fall, she
said, with a season starting with a play based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
Next December, the Crosley plans to bring back "A Victorian Christmas."

We hope the past Crosley Theatre successes will continue on after the staff
catches its breath.

Neither Barbra Streisand nor Liza Minelli made an appearance at this year's
Consumer Electronics Show in Los Angeles, but Crosley Radio, itself iconic and
which brought radio to the masses, was very much alive and kicking at the Las
Vegas Convention Center. Founded by Powel Crosley ("The Henry Ford of Radio") in
1920, Crosley Radio grew into one of the most successful electronics
manufacturers of the early 20th century. The Crosley inexpensive tuners, once a
staple in American homes (including yours truly), have become highly-
collectible classics sought after by collectors and Crosley fans worldwide, and
they define the "retro" aesthetic we think of when we imagine a Crosley radio.

The original Crosley brand died in 1956. Fast forward to 1989, when a savvy
group of investors perceived the Crosley name's value and began to develop a
striking line of modern audio equipment, radios to jukeboxes which wrap
Crosley's traditional good looks around the latest technology. Wood cabinets and
thick fabric grilles are paired with old-fashioned knobs and dials, all fully
functional in tandem with integrated iPod docks and hidden CD players. The look
may be 1940, but sound quality is very 2013.

We all love to see elements of Americana evolve like this, even if there's
little connection to their origins besides a name and logo and design
sensibility. Sure it's contrived, but hey, if Hollywood can reinvent itself over
the years, why shouldn't Crosley, the brand that brought entertainment and
transportation to the masses, do the same?

This 1950s design is very reminiscent of the last Crosley radio, and made a big
hit at the Las Vegas electronics show.
