Making Ends Meet

Gas prices are inching closer to the $4 mark putting a crimp in budgets and maybe summer vacation plans.

If it was just gas prices that were skyrocketing that would be one thing, but it seems the prices on everything are rising at the same time. Household budgets just don't go as far as they did even just a few months ago.

Midwest Quake

A strong 5.2 magnitude earthquake centered in southern Illinois rattled much of the Midwest early Friday morning.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the epicenter was near the town of West Salem.

But people as far away as the greater Cleveland area felt the quake as did people in Milwaukee, Chicago and Indianapolis.

Did you feel the earthquake? If so, add a blog post to tell of your experience.

Great Lakes Water Debate

The Cleveland area may be having some tough times economically right now, but we have one resource that is the envy of some other parts of the country: water.

Sitting on the shores of Lake Erie, Ohio and the Great Lakes states, have access to water and plenty of it. Other parts of the country, including portions of the West and Sun Belt are literally drying up. The South is suffering through an historic drought.

Some say water could be the resource that revitalizes the region and brings people back. Others think it's an untapped resource that could be sold for revenue.

What do you think, should we sell Great Lakes water to other parts of the country or keep it?
