This video piece featuring Byron Moseley will be showcased as one of many segments within the tribute episode honoring my brother, which is set to premiere as part of season six. I am partnering with Dave Alegre of Green Thumb Studios on this production.

I created this video piece on the fly while driving through this block of the street in the old neighborhood, which served as the inspiration for my podcast's name. The music is courtesy of Malinisoundz, a former resident of the area, albeit on a different street.

In light of my brother's sudden passing in Virginia Beach, I have opted to bring the current season of the podcast to a close, resulting in a total of fourteen episodes. However, this also implies that a fresh lineup of episodes is on the horizon to launch Season 6, including a tribute to my brother. The encouraging news is that this can begin as soon as a few weeks. I will be teaming up with the accomplished videographer Dave Alegre of Green Thumb Studios/ 4Grace Media. Additionally, if my schedule allows, I may start producing unofficial episodes spontaneously while I am in Virginia Beach.

For residents of the greater Chicago area, consider visiting Aurora to explore Kanami, a new Filipino restaurant adjacent to J & S Pinoy. Their menu boasts a diverse selection of delectable dishes. Those unfamiliar with Kamayan platters will have the opportunity to try one. Gather family and friends to experience it. My girlfriend Reese and I were honored to be their first customers, and we highly recommend this establishment. You will not be disappointed!
