ROAD TO NOWHERE — BEGINNING TO NO END
September 4, 2009 – 11:33 am
“If anybody would like to join the first downtownster road to nowhere road trip I’ll be leaving Thursday or Friday,” I said to the meeting of the Marketing Round Table. “I don’t know where we’re going or when we’ll get there, but that’s the idea. And uh, you could get on or off the trip [...]
