I know I had mentioned this in my other thread that my hometown will be on CBS news tonight @ 5:30, but I posted this to remind myself, and others who were interested in watching!

I cannot hardly wait to watch the segment!!


(Here's my original thread in case some people don't know what I'm talking about
)

Oh... and we're still unsure of when he'll be on the Ellen DeGeneres show... hopefully soon!

So, I posted about it on here abotu a week ago, and thanks to all the helpful voters - we won!


2 reporters from NYC came and interviewed my mom (who's the manager) and tonight they air the segment!

Why are you mad?

I TiVoed it and just watched it. He did good. It showed the town good. A community sticking together. I thought it was odd when they asked for a piece of his hair to clone him though

I guess if you know him.... I wish he would have mentioned how much the community has helped him. He bought the place, yes, but other people have put in so many hours to help.... he defiantely hasn't done this alone!!

My mom was on there, I was super excited to see her, and my Grandpa! (when they show an older man on his knees marking cans - thats my gramps!!!) My Grandpa is retired and works there everyday on his own free will because he likes to, I don't think Nick really appreciates the help, thats what makes me mad.

Oh, and if they clone him? NO THANKS!

But they did say, (although it wasnt Nick saying it) that whole community has come together to help him and even volunteer their time. Was that your Grandpa stocking?

Yeah -they did, everyone that I talked to was hoping HE would say something - only because he never thanks anyone for helping like they do.

YUP! Thats Gramps stocking shelves!
