THE KRONK GYM IN DETROIT IS CLOSING!
I worked out there last year when 'Classic Now' was in Motown for the Superbowl.
The people in the gym were all real cool guys. I even bought a shirt to show my support. It's a shame one of the rich and famous boxers didn't come through with some cash. I guess they forgot about their roots.


(thanks Jeff Heyman for this note)
FROM AP --
DETROIT (AP) - The Kronk Gym, the dingy basement that helped
produced world champions Evander Holyfield and Oscar De La Hoya,
has closed.
Champions Thomas Hearns and Lennox Lewis also trained at Emanuel
Steward's gym, which had been struggling after thieves stole copper
pipes in September, cutting off its water supply.
Steward had been paying to keep the Kronk running for months
after Detroit shut down the recreation center that houses it
because of a budget shortfall.
The cost of fixing the plumbing and making other major repairs
led officials to decide to make the gym's shutdown permanent, said
the Recreation Department's deputy director, Lawrence Hemingway.
"It's the oldest rec center in the city. It has lived a useful
life," he told the Detroit Free Press in Wednesday's edition.

I'm one of three finalist in THE MOTH / MYSPACE.COM / TNT TV NETWORK STORYTELLING CONTEST.

VOTING ENDS this Friday!

I had a TV job a few years back and they had food everywhere! I never starved working at this job.

AND EVERY FEW WEEKS OR SO... It was meatball hoagie day.

And these meatballs didn't have tomato sauce, they had 'teriyaki sauce.'
These hoagies were so impressive that I now need to also include a photo of the man who cooked them:




TODD!!!!

Todd, I hope you are well, and I hope you're still making the soon to be famous
'Todd's Teriyaki Meatballs.'

STARBUCKS ON 55th Street and 7th Ave, great job today!
Seriously, there was a long line and you guys were all on the ball.

I got my grande' regular and an ice water and I was good to go.

(FYI: Lately I've been getting snubbed of the ice water in other Starbucks in that area. Shame Shame!)
I even put a quarter in the tip jar - no joke!

So 'WADE WORKS HARD' will be premiering tomorrow night.
Folks, I know I've been promoting it hard on the blog, and the reason is... I THINK IT
IT WILL BE A FUN SHOW!!!! Hope you can check it out.

About the Show:
Comedian and Storyteller (2006 Moth GrandSLAM Champion) Adam Wade struggled for 7 years in New York City before he landed an everyday gig as 'on-air talent' for ESPN'S “Classic Now” TV show. In WADE WORKS HARD, the ever-optimistic Wade takes us through his journey with videos, montages, clips and storytelling as only Adam Wade can tell it. From his various jobs and struggles we learn about the celebrities and personalities he got coffee for, the retired cop/security guard he arm wrestled on stage, the Hall of Fame pro football player whom he told off, and the TV star who gave him his first big break. With all of Wade's hard work, let's hope he's on his way to the top.

My weekend highlight came on Saturday when I checked my email to find this:

SUBJECT: Fiore's Italian Tuna Sub feedback!

Hey Adam, you did real good on that video! Just recently got back from the 40th Year Reunion of Hoboken High School Class ‘o ’66 if you can imagine that! I sent a link to your video out to my Classmates via the Reunion committee and they love it! One comment was “pure genius” so watch out you may be the next James Cameron buddy!! You shoulda been there in the old days Adam! Hoboken was a hoot and full of more characters than you could shake a stick at!! You didn’t want to actually shake a stick at anyone though ‘cause that used to be a tough blue-collar town!!

America’s come a long way since those days thank God! OK, keep up the good work and we’re keepin’ an eye on you hoping great successes for you. If you ever get to Vegas, I’ll buy you a drink or whatever you prefer!!

Pete, living in Las Vegas but formerly of the 9th Street Projects

Thanks for the email, Pete!
