Green Room - Week 3 - Day 7

[clauderainsrm]

 "Back in the day" there was a topic that I rather liked - where people would take a look at their "hometown news" and pick a story as a springboard for their entry. 

I've had that on the "possible topics" list for years now, it just never seemed to be the right time (considering that state of the world and what news has become) 

But "local news" (the kind of stuff the rest of the country/world doesn't see because it's not sensational enough to go viral tends to be interesting. 

So, in that spirit - what's going on in YOUR local news right now that is just "interesting"? Or that other people might find amusing? 

(I'm not sure if people in bigger cities are at a disadvantage in that things are more likely to go viral due to sheer population or more advantaged because more things going on)

Speaking of viral - www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/story/the-20-best-viral-personal-essays-of-the-past-20-years-120615753.html

One of these started as an Idol entry during Season 8.  Can you guess which one?  ;)

Will one of THESE entries go viral and end up on a "best of" list a decade from now? Not if you don't vote for it and tell other people what you are reading!  therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1147601.html
