Notes from Chris
Episode 1909
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Last week, we heard from a vintage store owner in Birmingham, England. Before that, we had the founder of an ecommerce brand focusing on outdoor hockey, as well as a North Carolina orthodontist who invented a better way to treat impacted teeth. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Steve Dolinsky, the founder of Pizza City USA, offering walking tours (and more!) from their home base in Chicago. Since we last featured him, Pizza City USA has survived a pandemic and is now planning a global pizza festival this summer. Let’s hear more about that from Steve. What’s happened since?
