Nine Questions with Smog City's 12th Planet

Posted By on Wed, Feb 19, 2014 at 10:30 AM

Some of you have asked where the infamous "Nine Questions" column has been. We are trying new things and waiting for a response from the readers. Honestly, we have had a couple complaints and I suspect all of them are from Josh Levine. So, I decided to try to breath some new life back in to this dormant section and mix things up.
