Red Light, Green Light…How Does This Work! November 17, 2009

Oh Boy.  Here we go.  Ramp Meters are up and running on the west side to help drivers maneuver the ramp to I-74 Eastbound.  I’m told these things are used in bigger cities and with great success.  But I have to tell you…this morning it was a disaster.
Our reporter, Alison Montoya, was stationed right next [...]

Charla Is A Champion November 12, 2009

What courage.  What strength.  I’m almost at a loss for words.  Charla Nash went on national television.  The Oprah Winfrey show to talk about her horrific encounter with a maniac chimp.  Nash is the Connecticut woman who barely survived the February attack that left her physically and emtionally changed forever.  Her face is gone…lips, nose, [...]

Turbulence Trouble August 3, 2009

How scary do you think that was?  did you hear about the Continental Flight that made the emergency landing in Miami this morning?   News 5 Today brought you the story with live pictures from the international airport in Miami.  We figured out really fast what happened.  When the stretchers started taking people off the plane [...]

Are You Concerned? April 29, 2009

At this point most people are sick and tired of hearing about Swing Flu.  But now we’re hearing more and more are getting sick.  I think the moaning over too much coverage is now turning to…we can’t get enough of it.  
A friend of mine came over yesterday and the first thing she did was turn [...]

Johnny’s: Say It Isn’t So! March 23, 2009

No more birthday castle key mailed to your house every year. No more Sunday trip to the neighborhood toy store where you could buy the cheapest of trinkets and still feel like you struck it rich. No more running a mile or so down the road to pick up a quick gift for the party [...]

The lone survivor so far, Nick Schuyler, was conscious when he was loaded onto [...]

McCafferty Intrigue: We All Want To Know February 23, 2009

I think we all want to know what went on inside the Fort Thomas home of the McCafferty’s.  I’ll admit I am interested in finding out how that happened.  How will her lawyers defend her?  What will be the claim?   A dead man’s behavior, personality…dirty laundry will be on display for everyone to see.  I [...]

The Great Meltdown! February 9, 2009

Did you hear water running all weekend?  Off the house.  Down the down spouts.  Down the street.  Creeks are running high.  The river has taken on a dirty (more dirty) brown color because of all the runoff.   I looked out my upstairs window a half dozen times just to look down and see grass.   The [...]

You can’t believe the size of this place.  This is the Cobo Center in downtown Detroit.  It’s huge…as far as the eye can see …you can see cars and displays and big screen projection screens.  And people. Tons of people.  Each area of the center is clearly marked…by 20 foot signs that read: FORD, DODGE, [...]
