Lee, here ...
I'm here blogging from Wishbone restaurant in Chicago, where Tell Me More is broadcasting live from the popular dining spot in the city's West Loop.
We're serving up a few tasty conversations today. From tuning in (or logging on here), you'll hear perspectives from Chicago businesswoman and Barack Obama campaign adviser Valerie Jarrett; Al Walavich, Lauren Fischer and Harold Lucas, all community voices who will talk about the unique cultural dynamics of this city; magazine editors Dawn Baskerville and Roy Johnson, will share what is gracing the pages of their latest magazines, Essence and Men's Fitness; and from Tania Urzerta, who is making big waves here in local Latino community radio.
Also, the Wishbone staff has been more than helpful. We showed up on their doorstep this morning before sunrise to set up shop here. There were nothing but smiles to greet us (after they turned on the lights), so I just want to give some virtual dap to Carlos Ewing, Vicente Salgado, Lupe Munoz, Nadri Ayyen, Monica Goston, Misty Saint and Araceli Ariza. They've certainly earned their spot as part of our extended family. (Not to mention the fact the food here is, shall we say, slammin').
That's all for now... You can meet Michel Martin back here later, after the program.
