	♥ 5:50pm medson: Yikes haha.
	♥ 5:53pm medson: At one point they wanted to demolish a lot of it. But they were saved. You’ll like them. Just search Wildwood NJ Doo Wop Motels.

	♥ 6:05pm medson: Tillie was just the subject of the Weird NJ segment on Wake n Bake.

	♥ 6:33pm medson: That’s why I leave WFMU on all day everyday
	6:35pm Kitschy Mama: oh yes! the reality of yesterday makes me more appreciative of things like WFMU. Things that are a miracle they exist in this day and age.

	♥ 6:45pm medson: Cool.
	6:46pm Kitschy Mama: my show was always heavily influenced by my favorite station "rock n soul ,what have you..."
	6:46pm Kitschy Mama: it's still surreal I'm here now. :)
