Hegwisch...the Throwback! May 13, 2024

Show notes

Y'all, we been so busy that we didn't want to put out a rushed episode, so we have a rerun instead. Hegwisch is a cool community area so we figured you'd love it. Also, this was the era when we used to record LIVE on location! You had to be there.
It feels good to get some fresh air...finally! We are outside in Hegewisch! And seriously, this is as far south as you can go in Chicago proper. They call this the "Mayberry of Chicago" and truer words have never been spoken. But it's very cool in its own way. We ate at one of the very best pizza spots in Chicago at Pudgy's Pizza! It's honestly one of the best! Tune in and find out what has Sara shook also!
