  1. The dentures seem looth tonight
  2. It couldn't happen to a better group of people <sarcasm>
  3. Audacy also owns WINS AM & FM, an all newser as well. (Think of the old WMAQ, give us 20 minutes). I just looked at the ratings and they're holding up well in NY. Not sure how WBBM and WWJ are doing, but as long as there is significant revenue they may survive to fight a bit longer. However when your stock is hovering around a dime a share. Full transparency, my wife managed the WBBM newsroom from the mid '90s until late 2000. She also managed WWJ's newsroom from Dec 2000 to about 2010. I did traffic for WBBM for several years while we were in Chicago.
  4. I listen to the local NPR/Public Radio stations occasionally. I'm a fossil though.
  5. 60 years is a long run for a format. AM Radio has gone the way of the telegraph wire. Still a sad thing, especially for those of us who were even remotely connected with that side of the business. RIP straight News and traffic and weather on the eights (or the ones)
  6. How much of the rising cost of groceries can be attributed to the consolidation of supermarkets. The little guy who ran the local grocery store who may have been connected to a group of independent grocers is long gone. The Krogers, Food Lions, Walmarts, etc have taken over. The big guys are mostly setting the price, not the administration Have you ever seen a Republican oppose a major company merger recently?
  7. Even the campaign is admitting the ship is sinking
  8. Same city depending on which side of State St you’re located
  9. Fair enough. It’s probably my CW bias showing. I realize they’re two very different missions. I like the Ford Museum, Greenfield has always felt a bit too sterile to me.
  10. To Trump all Brown's look alike
  11. It would have been bigger for Trump if it weren't for those freedom hating fire marshals. Thousands of people were turned away. The crowds would have been bigger than the Sermon on the Mount
  12. Not exactly political but more like a peeve. The Henry Ford Museum/Greenfield Village is spending something like $30 Million to buy and move the house in Selma, Alabama that Martin Luther King planned many of his Civil Rights marches to Greenfield Villiage https://www.thehenryford.org/visit/greenfield-village/jackson-house/ While I applauded them of buying up historic buildings and adding them to their collection, I can't help but think they could find other ways to spend the money or work to refurbish the house and make it a historic site where it was actually a historic site. At the same time bring a bit of tourism to Selma and other places in the south. Maybe some sort of a Freedom Trail setup combined with similar sites. To me Greenfield Village is a hodgepodge of historic buildings bought by a quirky collector with no real rhyme or reason. After all Henry Ford original plan for the Museum and Greenfield Village was to feature and celebrate industrial growth in the United States. This doesn't seem to fall into that category. Rant over...
  13. To paraphrase King George in Hamilton....He'll be back..
  14. A real entertainer...
  15. Time has a way of giving more perspective than decisions in the heat of the moment. A Facebook friend mentioned that the Watergate Hearings began on this day in 1973. My Republican congressman at the time was on that committee (Caldwell Butler). I was a 21 year old kid. I can't imagine my current Republican Congressman doing that now.
  16. Not to mention John Kerry's "swift boating" vs GW Bush's military career.
