RADIO

Radio is alive and well in St. Petersburg and a lot more vibrant than radio in New York City. Radio Sputnik for hip-hop, techno and all that kind of music that won't let you snooze off, all day, all night.

Radio Hermitage for classical, and a host of others. I forget the name for the jazz station. Just imagine, St. Petersburg with a vibrant jazz station when one doesn't exist in New York City. They have to listen in to Newark, New Jersey. This in the land that gave the world Jazz!

Beyond radio, TV defnitely has Russia beat. Quantity and quality.

And speaking of quality and quantity, the women of St. Petersburg are as hot as any New York lass could possibly be. They step with an attitude. They look you in the eye. Straight in the eye. I'm sure glad I am not here during Spring and Summer. All those incredible ladies.
