Though he announced his candidacy months ago, I didn’t realize that the Steve Solomon running for county council was the same person as “Solly” from the radio. I had the opportunity to speak with him at ESPN980 studios in Rockville last week.
Solomon, 41, has been the producer and “sidekick” on The Steve Czaban Show for several years now. He also produces and hosts a national morning show on SB Nation Radio. Solomon says he does and says things on the radio that most others won’t and believes that this type of honesty and straightforwardness is something that would help him if elected.

Regular movie theaters can have crying babies, loud teenagers, uncomfortable seats, and snack bars that charge restaurant prices for 7-11 quality products. iPic eliminates the distractions and replaces them with a comfortable recliner, a pillow and blanket combo, an adjustable table, and a call button that allows you to reach a server at any point during the movie.

A great way to finish things up.
