Gary Pillette, founder (and friend) of Monroe Comic Con visits, with his friend and teammate Rhino (yes, THAT Rhino), to preview this weekend's event. One of the highlighted guests is a not often seen former Red Wing champion!

Also, how Gary got this whole endeavor started, and some wrestling memories with Rhino.

There's a bit of unmentioned irony that Tim Polakowski and Amy Rowe from Monarch Grief Center are back for a visit to talk about their upcoming fundraiser and just how much the center has grown in a very short period of time; but there's still room for you if you believe their services can be of help.

Ed Beczynski is running for Toledo city council and he's also opening a grocery store downtown. You can't vote for him fast enough after hearing that, right!?

Settle in for a LONG episode to hear Ed's Toledo perspectives and how he may be asset in city government.

If that's not enough, Ed also lives in my old place downtown, and he owns the Blarney and Focaccia's.

To be totally candid, I don't know which of the incumbents I wouldn't vote for, but I can easily see myself giving Ed my vote.
