This is one of those weeks when we in the news business get the feeling we’re still working while so many others have the week off. It goes with the territory but it’s not the easiest part of this business for sure.
We’re working several interesting stories for the evening newscasts.
Reporter Gavin Johnson is on his way to Whiteville where we’ve received word the city has banned squirrel shooting. The squirrels, no doubt, are rejoicing but there has to be a story behind that decision.
Reporter Lynda Figueredo is looking into the impact of the decision to make Front Street a two-way street in downtown Wilmington. It’s been long enough, that we should have a good idea whether it has been a success.
We’ve received word the Coast Guard Cutter, the Diligence, is being delayed in its return to the city. It is involved in a search effort near Charleston so its afternoon arrival has been put on hold.
That’s a start on this day…now if I can figure out how to do the rest of my Christmas shopping while also doing the news….
