Mike O'Meara has a daily podcast (listening to it now). It's called The Mike Omeara Show. Rob Spiwak and Oscar Santana are on it. Buzz Burbank used to be on it, but I think they had a falling out.

Mel Krupin’s. I really, really miss that place. I miss Posin’s too, but that’s really another, distant, era. I guess Parkway Deli might be as close as I can get for a nostalgia fix.

I came here after college 30+ years ago. Lived in both Virginia and Maryland. I know all these places. Raised my kids in MoCo but wish I had stayed in Arlington.
