Ramiro talks to us about how he and his family, immigrants from Mexico, came to find themselves in Augusta and how he worked his way from being a dishwasher to being an owner of multiple restaurants that people now can't get enough of. Ramiro seems kind of like a hidden gem, because not only does he have 3 restaurants in operation, but he has more plans for Augusta, and all of his plans come from wanting to grow his city. Oh yeah, and something and penis shaped waffles.

Today: We catch up with an old friend. When we interviewed Jason Craig in 2019, he was an up and coming artist with an awesome story and a really cool plan. Now, after he has become, in his words, a one-man-agency, it's probably safe to say that he exceeded his own expectations. We talk about his murals around the city, his mural camp that was an incredible hit, his worldwide work, his accolades (he doesn't love to share these so we made him talk about it all), and his vision for making Augusta a better place in his own way.

Today: Davis Branch with Song Shape Studios. Davis has somewhat of a non-traditional story for DropTheDis, as he is not a local business owner that one might recognize from their signs on the street, and he does a lot of his work with clients outside the city, but he is helping to put Augusta on the map - the music map. He works with local artists like Mackenzie Blake all the way to artists in Norway, as well as a few celebrities whose names you'll likely recognize. After Covid, Davis moved to Augusta, where Song Shape Studios, well...took shape. He currently produces incredible music from his own home.
