Tue. 06/23 - Get Ready To Go To Flavortown, Ohio
A pet robot that’s helping cure COVID-19 loneliness. If you thought the fireworks going off every night in your town was bad, let me tell you about a city in France that has set them off every single day for 150 years. Jurassic Park was #1 in the US box offices this past weekend. Like, the original Jurassic Park. From 1993. And are you ready to go to Flavortown, Ohio?
