Announcing Backseat Cities: Travels Through Places People Only Live In
Backseat Cities are places which, fairly or not, "take a backseat" to destinations like New York or Los Angeles, and small towns such as Charleston or Carmel.

- Cleveland, OH: Columbus's Hot Sister
- Rochester, NY: The Jewel in Western New York's I-90 Crown
- Boise, ID: The Land of Lincoln and Happy People

I will stray, though - and it could go anywhere. Classic rock, a spy novel, an old episode of Six Feet Under, or the latest summer blockbuster. I might review a Crew game or tell a story.
