The building above, on Mustard Street near our old neighborhood, may have been part of the old French’s food processing factory. Once one of the iconic Rochester companies, they left town in the late seventies. I grew up with the stuff and remember how good that yellow streak looked on the hot dog pictured in the billboard behind the center field wall in the old Red Wing stadium.
I poked in front of this build while did my interview with Cal Zone on his WAYO Record Geek show. We video-chatted with Rich and Andrea today and Rich asked if I intended to do any more radio work. (Rich has a wildly succesful podcast series on Elmore Leonard’s books.) I laughed at the idea and said something about the interview and my song taste being kind of mild-mannered. When we hung up Peggi asked why I badmouthed my show. I am really happy that Peggi liked it.
During dinner tonight we found a news story from the Detroit News about Jimmy Hoffa, the Teamster and Cosa Nostra boss who disappeared in 1975. Peggi had taken me by the Red Fox, the restaurant on Maple and Telegraph Road where he was last seen, when we were visiting her parents back in the day. They never found his body and didn’t even declare him dead until 1982. Now fifty years later someone is selling $30 tickets to a multi media presentation on July 23 at Macomb Community College where they will reveal where the body is buried. .

I think you should have a radio show. I’d listen.
