This is a fun part of the Roger Holloway Story, as I took off from Charlotte to five fun days chasing down amazing food and music. Though I’d seen Felix Cavaliere live in an All-Star band, I’d never seen The Rascals live. And since at age 76, I no longer want to drive 9-10 hours to get back to Indiana or Ohio, I made my customary midpoint overnight in Charleston, West Virginia. This is especially fun since I discovered 1010 Bridge and Paulie’s Authentic Italian.

Michael Symon’s Mabels BBQ was my lunch date in Cleveland, then on to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a couple of hours. And then it really got good upon arriving in Warren, Ohio, just across from the Trumbull County Courthouse park of 4.5 acres. Staying at the same hotel that The Ides of March were staying in anchored my connection.

The sound check experience was quite amazing, then on to assist Felix Cavaliere score a few signature caps at Howard’s just a block away was really satisfying. Then the concert! And to top it all of the next morning at the continental breakfast, chatting with a few of the band members, yeah. It’s fun talking about rock and roll to those who’ve been doing it for decades. So enjoy the video of me telling the story, it’s part of my story.

Turning 75—what a milestone! Doing the math: 2025 minus 1950 equals 75. I’m deeply grateful to God, my Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ for that “zoe life” getting me to this point. Interestingly, moving past 70 and approaching 80 aligns with a biblical perspective. As Psalm 90:10 notes, “The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty.” So, here’s to embracing this new chapter with gratitude and faith!

It is an honor to use my God-given abilities and drive to continue in Charlotte real estate and the YouTube game. Most every and all videos are relative to new construction and folks relocating to the Charlotte area, yet I’ll get a bit personal from time to time. My 75th birthday weekend seems to be a good opportunity to do so. Watch.

Jack the Real Estate Dog was much more than just a catchy dog name for my business; he was a true friend who is greatly missed. It was just last week that the big C got the best of our sweet boy and we are shedding lots of tears. The video here is me bearing my heart just a few hours after his passing. If you’d like to see the impact Jack made on folks across the country with his appearances and partnership in my real estate YouTube videos, click through HERE and read the Comments. And please join the conversation. ~Roger

Dr. T. Garrott Benjamin, Jr. was a household name in the city of Indianapolis (Second Christian Church), where I’m from. After he was ordained as a Bishop, he began to be known as Bishop Tom Benjamin (Light of the World Christian Church). Here we are at ages 72 and 80, having both moved from the City of Indianapolis, which had been good to each of us, telling our story. His YouTube channel is here.

Having spent three great years as a resident of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, I love getting back to the beach. In this video rant and roll, I’m thinking about my life as I’ve lived it and enjoying my favorite space on the Atlantic Ocean at the Shipyard Beach Club spot. Just like always.

Asher Benrubi tells how he and his friend of 50+ years have been hustling since their teenage years and how the most important transaction of his life was to receive Jesus Christ.

Growing up in Indianapolis, where the Indiana State Fair is located, means that you get to go to the Fair at the end of each summer. To do what? Ride the shuttle, eat fried food, and see the exhibits. I also loved to see capitalism at work in the Manufacturer’s Building. There, small vendors would hustle their products, and indeed I do love the art of the pitch. Oh, and then there’s riding the shuttle, pulled by a large farm tractor!

Barry Wilkins is a new home sales professional in the Indianapolis market who worked with Roger for a local home builder back in the day. He had a lot of nice things to say. Thanks, friend.

Paul Pete of Indianapolis speaks of his relationship helping WTLC disc jockey Roger Holloway with his mobile DJ gigs in the ’70s and how Roger influenced his life. Paul now loves the Lord and thanks God in the video that’s here.
