And with DVR, I can record the days I want and skip commercials and events I am not interested in watching.

Problems facing U.S. bankin system

Excerpt from July 30 story posting about the Eastern Bypass "Kickoff" meeting:

Despite a packed house of attentive and concerned Tri-County residents, the only noise at the kickoff meeting for the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Eastern Bypass Study was a few thunder claps and some falling rain.

The open-house style meeting at Countryside Banquet Facility in Washington Tuesday night had large crowds gathered around enlarged maps of the Tri-County area that would be affected by the proposed four-lane highway connecting I-74 with Illinois Route 6.

Much of the crowd gathered for the IDOT slideshow and formal presentation were eager to voice their opinions on the bypass topic.
