Martin Connolly thinks random weeds and plants are going into dishes at nice restaurants because he lives around plenty of trendy restaurants at Southeast 16th and Hawthorne.

"If you live in Portland, you have to know what comes with the neighborhood, and in this case, it's bands of sous-chefs," says Connolly.

Around the back of the apartment building he manages is a fenced-in alley that is filled with wild weeds and greens, apparently ripe for the taking.

"In some neighborhoods there's coyotes, some have skunks � here, it's just sous-chefs and all the things that come with that," Connolly says.

He's seen them in the area before and has picked up their leftovers.

"You can always tell they�ve been here: There's beard nets. I found this recipe lying back here the other day," he says.

Connolly says he can even recognize their scent: "Sometimes smells like brisket."

And his neighbor spotted one stuck on the fence Friday.

"Had a bag of what was probably chicory leaves," Connolly says.

WXIX sent their morning shift weather man to cover a construction collapse.

Like, they went to him during a commercial break and said "Frank, no one gives a poo poo about the cold front walk your rear end over to 5th Street or wherever the gently caress and cover this parking garage or some poo poo."

Gas and electric prices are going up in the county I used to live in.
Murder count in Philadelphia will probably surpass last year's figures but will still be lower than Chicago's!

The FBI has launched an investigation into the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) over the way it runs an Idaho prison that has such a reputation for violence that inmates dub it "Gladiator School."

Friend of mine took another job and the very week she was no longer working at Gladiator School a guard in her old unit was murdered by a prisoner.

Water is wet, sun rises in east, someone got shot in south Atlanta last night.

Also the murder-Kroger doesn't want to be called the murder-Kroger anymore because no one's been murdered there for at least a day or two. Please refer to it as the "Armed Robbery Beltline"-Kroger from now on.
