I would like Owl directing the news :)Maybe we should all direct the news...we could just come up w/ solutions to all of PG's problems and get things done, in 5 yrs PG would be a whole lot different than it is right now - action, action, action...maybe this would make for a good 1/2 - 1 hr show on Sunday nights or something, people could call in...it would ROCK this city! hahahahahahah...

Don't worry Owl there are more than just the news people that wouldn't want you there either. ;-)

I never watch it if I don't have too. Where do they get those nerdy newcasters? Guess everyone has to start at the bottom.

Oh, yeah, maybe the new guy knows someone who can rent the first floor of the joint. Seems to me they have been trying to flog it off fer years. Too much rent or questionable location. Pick one.
