[quote name=\'narzo\' post=\'217561\' date=\'Jun 8 2009, 09:02 PM\']BTW, ready for this Chicago?  Left my cell on a red line train.  Kissed it good-bye and went to Verizon to buy a new one.  2 hours later my friends phone rings, it's the guy who found my phone and wanted to get it back to me.

CHICOGANS RULE![/quote]

Uhhhh, we love you too =p

Also, narzo, welcome to the magical world of Chicago traffic!  Where any day, any time of day, can be an amazing cavalcade of suck.

I trust the world of Chicago traffic is reported from Chicago.
Beginning next Monday, the world of Cleveland traffic on many stations will be reported from Detroit.
Steve's voice belongs on the air, telling Caesar to stop or announcing stopped traffic. Glad he remains employed.

Because that's how far the backups will be heading into downtown once all of the orange barrels appear.

Just dawned on me.  You're Burleigh's son, right?

That was an era where WBBM-TV was real good and well-respected.  Before Bill Kurtis became faster than Michael Phelps, Floyd Mayweather and Andy Roddick, he was a darn good anchor (along with Walter Jacobson).

Heritage station with a glorious history.

But I can't help thinking how it might sound:
"Now, to see how things are moving along, let's go to the BM traffic center"

That took me awhile to know where it was going.

When I was working there, I noticed a lot of sh** flying at times.  Snake sh**, in fact.

Yes, you're right!  He's in Glendale CA now... while I'm in Dallas at FOX - not in front of the camera like he was!

last time I checked a year ago, I found out that he left WHLC in Highlands NC in 2007 and joined a local based cluster in Indianapolis to be close to his family.  And I went on the country station's website where he DJed and I couldn't find anything about him
