Hey peeps, JGT here. Just cruisin through Kalamazoo, “Where Dreams Do Come True!” I just made that slogan up, but I think it’s a pretty good one. First off, remember the average homeboy, who I told you about a few months ago? Well, I hung out with him and got a great interview with him while I was in Cleveland! Check it ut on the website, traffic.com. Also, I’ve got some behind the scenes stuff I’ll try to share with you on this site, including getting scammed for drinks by a couple of hookers in Detroit. Don’t worry, I was able to hold onto my dignity. In fact, the story isn’t nearly as salacious as it sounds, but it’s kind of funny. But it’s kind of tough to write while riding in a truck, so I’ll have to give you details later.

Hey gang, got this email from my friend Meghan at the PSPCA. If anyone has room for a cat at their house, or knows someone who does, please help this one! If you are interested, please contact Meghan.
Jet Li came to our shelter in December after being caught in a trap. He is one of the nicest cats you could ever meet. He loves to be pet, loves attention and most of all just the sweetest cat. He’s about 4 years old, already neutered and almost all black. Unfortunately, he had some kind of problem with his eyes where they were always squinting, and he has ringorm. We thought it might have been allergies, but came to the conclusion that it was not. Luckily, he has been placed in a foster home where he is flourishing. His eyes are much better and he’s just loving life outside of the shelter. However, now we need to find a permanent home for Jet Li because the foster mom can no longer care for him and he will be placed to sleep if he returns back to the shelter. We simply do not have the resources to take care of him with his situation. I love this cat so much, and if I didn’t have a small zoo in my own home, he’d be there. Please help him. If you cannot, please forward this to someone who can. Thank you for anything you can do.

Hey gang, just kicking it in the Hampton Inn in downtown Cleveland, getting ready to head down to the harbor. Hope all is well in Philly. To read about me hosting quizzo in DC, falling in love in Pittsburgh, and rockin and rolling in Cleveland, click here. Otherwise, lemme know where I need to go what I need to do in Chicago, where I’ll be on Monday morning and staying for a couple of days. Planning on getting in a Cubs game and maybe checking out the aquarium.Any other ideas for what I should eatand what I should do? You guys steered me right when it came to crab cakes and Primanti Brothers, so I’m counting on you to tell me what to do in the Windy City. (Oh, and as far as photos go, Jam aster said he’s having some troubles with the camera, but hopefully I’ll have them up soon.)

On Monday night, Trivia Art, my friend Suzanne, and I headed out for my final Philly meal before the road trip began. I figured I’d hit up Jim’s and grab a steak. Man it was awesome. Jim’s is always great, but sometimes you get one that goes beyond great, and this was one of those times. Well, I figured that I was going to have to take it to the next level, so after Jim’s I wandered down the street and, you guessed it, hit up Lorenzo’s for a slice.

Lorenzo’s is way hit or miss. Sometimes it is so-so, and sometimes it makes a solid pitch for best pizza in the city. Unfortunately, this was one of those so-so times. It’s still entirely edible when it’s so-so, so I chowed down. The follow photo was taken three hours later. It was not a joke.
