It’s What We Call the News

NBC 4: Police said a man robbed a north side pharmacy at gunpoint Thursday night. The man walked into the CVS Pharmacy, located at 7470 Sawmill Road, near Hard Road, at about 10:25 p.m. and went to the pharmacy, police said. He jumped over the counter, pulled out a gun and demanded specific drugs from the pharmacist… The pharmacist complied and the man fled through the store's drive-through window. Police described the man as white, 20 to 25 years old and 5 feet 7 inches tall. He has a thin build and was wearing an orange hooded sweatshirt.

And the count goes on (number thirty-five)…

10 TV: The city announced the next round of layoffs on Friday... Six employees, including one part-time and five full-time employees, were expected to be let go… Two of the impacted employees are supervisors and four are assistants.

Mayor Coleman’s list… Cut Police – Check. Cut City Workers – Check. Build worthless park with other people’s money – Double check.

NBC 4: In an effort to balance the city’s 2009 budget, officials released Friday the final list of recreation centers that would be closed, effective Feb. 14. Barack, Feddersen, Glenwood, Holton, Indian Mound, Krumm, Martin Janis, Sawyer, Sullivant Gardens, Tuttle, Performing Arts Center…

The good news? In two years, children will have a crime invested downtown park to replace these rec centers…

10 TV: A warm front will move across the Ohio Valley on Saturday, kicking up the winds and bringing more cloud cover. We may have to dodge a few sprinkles, but temperatures will be near 60 degrees near the Ohio River, and in the 50s for the rest of us. On Sunday, we will see very light rain showers and the winds will turn north, cooling us a bit. It will remain mild, with highs reaching 43 degrees. Monday looks nice and warm, but rain will be on the way Tuesday and Wednesday.

For fifty degrees, we can live with rain…
