A little of this and a little of that

 Following up on a story from earlier this week, it's being reported that when Days of Our Lives leaves NBC for an exclusive streaming space on Peacock, NBC will fill the hour with-----what else?----news.

The network plans to mount the first network afternoon news program in its history (ABC tried a PM version of Good Morning, America), and, locally, it appears it'll follow the lunch hour news on WNYT.

Stay tuned.
=============================================
It was strange on Thursday, as I was walking to the bus stop, to find a "For Sale" sign at Jimmy's Lunch, a long time Congress Street landmark. Aside from that, it's still open, as the diner is not well lit to start. The eatery is open 6 days a week, 7 am-1 pm, but I suspect the owner wants to retire soon. We'll be watching.
===============================================
While the Uncle Sam Parking Garage is being razed in typical Troy fashion, that is to say, very slowly, Troy High & RPI alumnus David Bryce plans to turn the Uncle Sam Atrium into apartments. The Atrium has been linked to the Frear Building, home to CVS Pharmacy and other businesses, since the late 70's, but now is mostly home to state workers. The idea is to try to freshen up the space, but another overpriced apartment complex ain't the answer. 
=============================================
Head InfoWimp Alex Jones, after being ordered to pay the parents of Sandy Hook victim Jesse Lewis $4.11 million, went on the air on his show, and started shilling his line of nutritional supplements in order to raise money not only to pay off the debt, but to keep his garbage show on the air.

On the air, he's been whining and crying all week, begging for sympathy. Hastily scheduled pressers were attacks on the judge, which didn't help at all. Not too surprisingly, he's gotten support from fellow conspiracy advocate and national pain in the neck Empty-G (Marjorie Taylor Greene). Well, you know what they say. Birds of a feather flock together.

Lose the act on the air, Jumbo. You're only making things worse. For yourself.
