I've had the pleasure of going into the studios 2 times now to appear on Good Morning Washington,…read moreand it was such a pleasure each time. First thing! Parking: There is a large parking garage under the building and the attendant is pretty friendly. He'll ask you how long you're planning on being there, and for me, it was always like 1 hour so he would park me somewhere real close. Second thing! There is a little cafe across the street that opens super early. So if you're on Good Morning Washington and have to be at the studios at 7:15, you can grab a bacon egg and cheese sandwich across the street- I believe the spot opens at like 6 for all the early birds. Third! The biggest surprise to entering the TV Studio is that pretty much 90 percent of the space is taken up by desks. It's pretty much like a huge office and then the studio is like SOOO small. The actual news studio is like the size of a 1 bedroom apartment in DC. All of the anchors and production staff are really sweet and nice. It seems like they really enjoy their jobs. Which comes off in their interaction. It's not like... oh they're super nice on camera and then when the feed goes dead they're like " I hate this place." Quite the opposite. I look forward to going back and doing more segments with Audra and the rest of the team there. Also, Live TV is no joke. Good thing I have so much experience from when I read the announcements on our school TV station at Richard Montgomery High School ;)

8/19/20 Back on August 4th, I was listening to Corinna…read moreDelgado on the radio. I heard her talking about Nancy Kerrigan and my mind traveled back to 1994. Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding popped back into my mind as I thought about the craziness that followed. I remember reading up on these two women and my teacher suggested I write a report on them for one of my big homework projects. It was very easy for me. Personally I think my teacher just wanted to read what I would write. I was snapped out my thoughts when I heard Corinna Delgado laugh. It was a pleasant laugh. I quickly looked up the number, but wasn't expecting to get through. Boy was I wrong. I felt like a complete idiot because at the time, I did not know Corinna Delgado's name. I could hear the three second delay and my mind could not get use to that. Evidently this is something people in radio are use to. Corinna Delgado cleaned up the talk we had, but she also recorded, my version of Nancy screaming "Why Me? Why Anyone Why?" Even today, I don't think Nancy Kerrigan would see humor in her tragic event... still Second place is the first to lose, but if you ask yourself, this question, who really lost... Enough of that...I answer Corinna Delgado Timeline Question and got it right. I have listen to so many people call in over the phone for money, prizes or just to talk. I never expected to be on the radio myself, but I was. The only draw back is that I did not hear myself on the radio, because I was on the phone waiting for Corinna Delgado to come back on the phone. Today I now hold a bottle opener that says 9.47 The Drive, the Movie 1917 movie on blue ray and dvd and a 9.47 The Drive Pen. Very cool. I will admit at first I thought the package was sent to the wrong, but then realized this is the gift I won. I enjoy listening to the oldies music of the 80' and 90's. I will be listening even more now. I look forward to trying again to win something or make a request for song. Keep up the good work Corinna Delgado.

We were excited that a new restaurant was coming to our area. We are not buffet people but my mom…read morewanted to try it. The atmosphere was not that inviting the restaurant was dark with club lights. We went the first day they opened this was a bad move as the kinks were yet to be ironed out. The food was not labeled just general signs that shows the hibachi section, sushi and ice cream. They charge 5.95 for kids 3 years and older whether they eat or not. Lunch is $9.95 and dinner is $ 17.95 a rip off for the quality of the food. The hibachi was flavorless ( didn't know you could ruin hibachi). The sushi rolls were average some were stuffed with non traditional sushi stuff. The seafood variety was ok too but wasn't impressive or anything. We were all very disappointed. Dinner cost us over $60 plus a 18% tip for 3 adults 1 kid. We were still hungry after we left as the food was just not pleasing. The staff is friendly enough and there is room for extensive improvement. I wish we skipped it and just drove across town for something better. Go for lunch if you must. I would not recommend for dinner.

I think Street Sense is pretty awesome. We have a similar publication called Spare Change in…read moreBoston. It's written by homeless people, formerly homeless people, and advocates. Street Sense vendors buy papers for 25 cents (to cover publishing costs) and sell papers for $1. The paper has got some great articles on social issues but also has poetry, word searches, and even sudoku. Not to mention a helpful back page that has shelters listed for both the homeless and those that want to volunteer. I recently heard a formerly homeless man read one of his Street Sense poems and it was really powerful. I'm a cheeseball I know. So pick up a paper, donate, or volunteer for the paper! They're looking for those who can help with writing ,editing, copyediting, layout (InDesign), photography, graphic design, fundraising, and grant writing. They also have internships available for students.
