Why are they paving the street in front of the biggest tourist attraction during the peak of tourist season? Why is it taking 3 years to build the bridge, when it took only 13 months to build the Empire State Building? News gives me lots of features but rarely explains the benefits of my viewing. Mr/Mrs Weatherman...I know you are going to give me the forecast what else can you tell me in your tease? Any environmental news, any science news...anything? Also Mr/Mrs Weatherman, I know that sunrise is AM and sunset is PM I don't why you feel the need to show me AM or PM on your graphics.
