Good Food, Great Music, & Even Better Company: Don't Miss the WPGC 95.5 FM, Good Morning Show's 2nd Anniversary at Ruby Southern Kitchen Today!

An event is brewing in Bowie that promises to bring together the flavors of the South and the sounds of urban radio in a celebration that's as warm and inviting as a sunny morning in the countryside.

Ruby's Southern Comfort Kitchen, located at 4410 Mitchellville Road, is set to host a significant milestone — the 2nd anniversary of The Good Morning Show on WPGC 95.5, live and local urban radio that has quickly become the DMV area's favorite way to wake up.

On Thursday, February 22, 2024, from the early hours of 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM ET, the airwaves will be filled with more than just the tantalizing aroma of southern cooking; they will echo the laughter, conversations, and community spirit that The Good Morning Show has cultivated over the past two years. The show's anniversary celebration isn't just any event; it's a heartfelt thank you to the listeners who have made Todd B., Monique Samuels, Jason Weems, D. Carter, and Guy Lambert household names in the region.

The choice of Ruby's Southern Comfort Kitchen as the venue is no coincidence. This establishment is a cornerstone of Bowie, known for its hearty, soul-warming fare that feels like a hug on a plate. The restaurant embodies the same sense of community and warmth that The Good Morning Show prides itself on, making it the perfect backdrop for an event that's all about giving back to the listeners.

Attendees are in for a treat—literally. The morning kicks off with complimentary breakfast, a gesture of gratitude from the team behind the show. And once the free breakfast runs out, the generosity continues with an offer that's hard to resist: breakfast for just $2.22. It's an ode to the show's anniversary date, 2-22, and a testament to the show's commitment to celebrating with their fans in a way that's both meaningful and accessible.

But the anniversary event is more than just a meal; it's a full-on celebration. With concert tickets, giveaways, and special guests promised, it's shaping up to be a morning filled with surprises, laughter, and perhaps a few heartwarming moments. It's a rare opportunity for fans to meet the voices that greet them each morning, turning the faces behind the microphones into friends and family.

As Ruby's Southern Comfort Kitchen prepares to open its doors for this special occasion, the excitement is palpable. The event is not just a celebration of two years of The Good Morning Show; it's a testament to the power of community, the joy of shared experiences, and the simple pleasure of a good meal shared with good company.

For those looking to be part of this unique experience, more information can be found at RubysBowie.com. It's an invitation to join a community, to share in the joy of a milestone, and to start the day with a reminder of what makes the DMV area so special. This Thursday, 2-22, promises to be a day when morning radio levels up, and everyone's invited to be part of the journey at Ruby's Southern Comfort Kitchen.
