Are you now, or have you ever been, a Hobo?
Do you have any knowledge of or experience as a modern day hobo/train rider? If so, this email I received today (April 2, 2013) will be of interest to you:
"Hi. My name is Molly Sebastian and I am a Casting and Development Producer working with Zodiak Media (http://www.zodiakmedia.com). Zodiak is the world's third largest television production company.
"We are currently working on a development project for a network focused on Modern Day Hoboes/Train Riders. We are very interested in this as a possible series but we are still in the early research stages of figuring out if this is feasible.
"I would love to be in touch with you to provide you with more information and to see if you might be interested in participating in this project. I have been lucky enough to be in touch with the old-school hobo crowd (60 and over). I'd love to also be in touch with the younger crowd, if possible, to get their perspective.
"If you are interested in talking, please email your number or feel free to call me directly 646-747-7908.
"Thank you,
Molly"
I got Molly's permission to could post her inquiry here in hopes that some of you would be able to help her out. Molly's email address is msebastiantvcasting@gmail.com

Although all images have been optimized to display the highest possible visual quality at the lowest possible file size, I felt that the tradeoff of lower-quality images for faster loading times was not acceptable.
