I went to the meeting, but didn't take specific notes. I'll try to answer from memory.
The problems with the canal are apparently beginning to restrict water flow, and this could potentially impede service to the more than 600,000 people whose pr...
I actually called the Dept. of Health biologist last week, because this is the WORST in the ten years I've lived here. They're called "midges" and he said that they'd be through the peak of the mating cycle ("ewwww") by the end of the week. I'm no...
I was inside my house wondering what the helicopter was doing out there. I went to the end of my block, 62nd and Washington Blvd., and saw police. My dad told me that this happened not too long ago. This is just ridiculous. I grew up here and it w...

That happened over on Delaware a few years ago. I'm embarrassed to admit that my first thought when hearing the explosion was "The terrorists are here!". :)
