Several members of Before the Lights assembled for a podcast, including some from my hometown, Streator, IL. Kelly Burgin from Northern California shares news about Family Dollar closing numerous stores, sparking a discussion with Missy Mital on its impact on zip code 61364, which boasts several dollar stores and transitions into a comparison of Dollar General versus Family Dollar. Larry Henry from Arkansas weighs in on his preference.
After a brief discussion on the Cheltenham Festival, we delve into the upcoming Mob Summit 2024 in Las Vegas, scheduled for Saturday, June 1st. We reminisce about the Tropicana Hotel's glory days and lament its closure, once a bustling corner on the strip. The conversation shifts to the allure of Geri Rosenthal and the mob-connected casinos.
From pizza and beer, we segue into wine, with Kelly sharing his involvement in a project for the Italian Delicato Family wine company, featuring Francis Ford Coppola wines. Tommy impresses by recognizing the brand.
We introduce Jim Riordan, a.k.a. Fat Grampa Podcast, as he explains its inception. Jeff Horaney expresses his excitement for the upcoming Solar Eclipse, while Missy Mital discusses classes on making tortellini and cookie decorating. Cheryl Canale (Mom) shares her plans to head to Arizona for spring training. Kelly's journey into sign making and his donation of a significant piece for the Mob Summit. The Canale family's move from Illinois to Vegas prompts discussions on the old Vegas era and Bet Bash!
