The What's Goin' Down In Downtown J-Town Podcast

     David Francis and I decided to start a podcast about the music scene that made Chicago Street Pub in Downtown Joliet their home. He and I are a part of that music scene, too. We began talking about how much we get from this place and from these people. There were a few like this in our younger years in different towns with different bands. It's a shame that some of that just simply faded away. We didn't want to this fade away without leaving some sort of time capsule. We started off just interviewing musicians. The each interview was sandwiched in between to in studio acoustic performances whether or not they were acoustic artists. We put those acoustic performances in a section of their own down bellow. It wasn't long before we deciced to talk about anything positive going on in Joliet. The intent was to diminish the terrible reputation of this great city. We hope you enjoy these interviews.

In Studio Performances

     We had each of our musical guests perform two songs on acoustic guitar during the interview. I thought it would be great to have those songs all in one place. 

Photo Gallery

     Take a look at some of the wonderful memories that have been made in Joliet. I try to get to as many events as I can to click a few pics to document the day.

Food For Thought

     Let's talk about food for a little while! Below are a bunch of links to send you to some of my favorite places to eat. I look for places that make fresh food. Proportions are also important to me. The size and ingredients need to match the price. And let's face it, good friendly service is a big part of the experience as well. I feel that these places hit the mark on all of those points.
