Downtown Elgin IL, near WRMN's studios:

__THANK YOU!__

I appreciate all of you who wrote in during the live radio show, posted on Facebook & sent Emails after the broadcast. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I had a blast hosting it.

Several asked "why do you have to pay?" to do this. It is a "brokered" show; WRMN sells airtime.
