Baltimore Memories and Road Trip Adventures: A Journey Through Youth
Sometimes it feels overwhelming to me, like how bad the true pandemic in our country, beyond covid or whatever, is drug abuse and there's just so little being done about it and it really really frustrates me.
Remember those days when everything seemed possible, and the world was your playground? In this episode of 'Stories For Days', hosts Andrew MacDonald and Elena Holley take you on a nostalgic ride through their late teens and early twenties. Andrew, inspired by re-watching 'The Wire', reflects on his time living in Maryland, bringing back vivid memories of the streets of Baltimore.
Elena adds her own tales, recounting fun-filled camping trips with her friend Ardis, where the only thing missing was a good blanket.

Andrew and Elena express their frustrations about the lack of effective measures to combat this issue, making you think deeply about the societal challenges we face. But don't worry, it's not all heavy.

One of the standout moments is a hilarious story about an extra-long road trip to Whiskey Town Lake. It's the kind of tale that makes you want to pack your bags and hit the road, despite the inevitable hiccups along the way.
