Rush Limbaugh broadcasts from his house. But I can't.<BR/><BR/><B>RC</B> Ray is a news director and morning show host here in Savannah (we're about three hours southeast of Atlanta). Savannah is a tiny market (158). Chattanooga isn't a whole lot bigger(around 100). Atlanta is market...I think it's seven now, but I do know it's in the top ten. Chattanooga is a lot like Savannah. People stay forever in their media jobs until they die. And it doesn't have a lot in the way of News/Talk stations. Atlanta was an option, but it's just too expensive. Ray would probably have to either break into TV (tough go) or become someone's spokesperson or communications director for us to make it to Chattanooga.<BR/><BR/><B>Jo</B> We've always lived so far away from everyone, it would be bizaree to only be a short drive.<BR/><BR/><B>Dumdad</B> And it is a bit of agony.<BR/><BR/><B>Mya</B> Chattanooga is a pretty cool place, it's right on the river. And they do have the old Chattanooga Choo-Choo which is now stationary and is used as a hotel. You can actually sleep in the refurbished private cars.<BR/><BR/><B>Willowtree</B> Well, I guess I could always take up organic farming or something. But the soil is a little rocky up there. <BR/><BR/><B>Grand View</B> Oh, I'm grateful for what I have, and would be grateful to be there, too. Actually, having lived through some very rough times, I'm glad just to have a roof over my head, and food in my belly.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07900746787671291548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5400596473404565623.post-30438279503695891302007-10-02T19:17:00.000-04:002007-10-02T19:17:00.000-04:00Hiya Jen,The first step in getting what you want i...Hiya Jen,<BR/>The first step in getting what you want is imagining it. The second step is desiring it and the third, is being grateful for it.

For some reason I'm thinking he's a news director who also is on the air. Am I even close?
