I often find it depressing looking over the available Fort Wayne news sources available to us.
For example, here is a headlining news story in Fort Wayne, listed under "Local News":
Free Slurpees
HOLD THE PRESSES! FREE SLUPREES?
Just a note, the closest 7-11 to us in Fort Wayne is 45 minutes away in Osceola.
Also, notice the link, "Free-Slurpees-come-with-a-twist-They-may-cost-you" - What is the twist? What is going to cost me?
This ranks up there with the "Local News" section including who was dismissed from "Dancing With The Stars"

There used to be a 7-11 on Tennesse Avenue. Did it close?
In their defense, they have to publish more often than a semi-active blogger.

Hey, I have a new blog focusing on Downtown Developments. Please check it out and be sure to leave comments http://downtownfw.wordpress.com/
What evidence do you have that it's really pronounced LEE - MA? we don't pronounce lima beans that way, or Lima, OH. Also, if everybody says it LIEMA, and it's considered the norm, who's to say it's wrong?
I just found your blog and bookmarked it in delicious. There is a ton of good information here for me to learn from. Thanks for sharing.
