The Norm Greenberg Show...
featuring:

NORM GREENBERG

This was Norm Greenberg's website, created to promote his show and to reach potential advertisers. Its domain registration expired sometime after 2014 and the site disappeared from the web. For fans of Norm Greenberg Show, this is a tribute to his show and a nostalgic look back. I was a big fan and really enjoyed the programing. My dogs were intrigued when we watched the 2013 segment on the dogs and pet adoptions. See YouTube video below. My youngest dog is just a puppy. She became so excited at seeing the dogs on my computer screen she had an "accident" on my oriental rug in my study. I cleaned it up as best as I could but knew I would need a professional rug cleaning/carpet cleaning company to do a thorough job. Fortunately a quick search for a local rug cleaning specialist directed me to the Agara Rug Cleaning company. They not only clean rugs of all types, but also specialize in cleaning and restoring oriental carpet. Lucky me. They took care of my rug and returned it in a week, fresh and clean, looking better than before. Next time I show my dogs a video of other animals I am going to be in the kitchen where I have tiles that are so much easier to clean if another "accident" should occur. So enjoy the archived content and YouTube videos. Norm Greenberg's show always had informative interviews.

I often wondered what type of guests and conversations Norm Greenberg would have had on his show during the four years of Trump's presidency. It would have been entertaining and fascinating, but one is only left to speculate. And then Illinois was hit with the Covid 19 pandemic, reporting its first case in January 2020, when a woman in Chicago, who had just returned from the pandemic's place of origin in Wuhan, Hubei, China, tested positive for the virus. As of January 2021, Illinois had the fifth highest number of confirmed cases in the United States.

Like many other people I started working from home, wearing a mask out in public, social distancing, getting take out from restaurants rather, and finding my entertainment online. I have just started playing real money slots online at the Miami Club Casino. A new pastime, but very enjoyable. I check out the weekly promo specials at an online casino affiliate called Online-Casino-Party.co. They list the newest slot game introductions, where to play with free spins and match bonuses, and if there are any ongoing slot tournaments. My dogs get excited with the sound effects of the slot games, particularly when I hit a winning streak.

These last few years have been so strange. Norm Greenberg where are you when we need you? Wish you were still broadcasting!
