Laughter on the 23rd Floor focuses on Neil Simon’s own early career experience as a junior writer of Sid Caesar’s “Your Show of Shows” and “Caesar’s Hour “ and provides an intimate look of the cackles and chaos behind the scenes of writing and producing a hit comedy show during the 1950’s golden age of television.

Within the US Forest Service’s core mission is the promotion of sustainable forest management, including restoration efforts.

At a cost of around $1000/ton, Biochar is also highly marketable, translating to more affordable forest fuels management and more restoration efforts overall.
