National City CEO Says, “Wha’ Happen?”
National City’s stock is down 77 percent in just one year while rumors about the bank being sold, and job loss for thousands of employees that call Northeast Ohio their home abound. Yesterday the Plain Dealer got together with National City CEO Peter Raskind to talk the turkey and find out how things went down hill so fast, what people in Northeast Ohio really need to know about the situation, what options the bank is exploring, and well, more questions that sort of seem like Raskind has prepared answers. All I know is I better not lose my Points.
With the Lottery League We’re All Winners! Or Something Like That
The 33 bands formed from the Lottery League (144 musicians randomly paired with other musicians they’ve never played with before) will be showing just what they have, or haven’t, been working on the past few weeks tomorrow at the Beachland. Maybe it was inevitable that Scene and The Free Times would pick up on this, but today we see The PD roll up their sleeves and go after the dirty, dirty truth.

While our post below about an 11-year-old hero actually being the cause of a bus crash may have come as an attempt at a cheap laugh or a chance at making us look like pricks, there now appears to be some validity to our statements. I mean, not the part about drifting, but according to Channel 5 not everyone is buying the kid’s story now. The company that owns the bus is claiming that an emergency brake would have to be released in order for the bus to start moving and some kids that were on the bus are offering stories that contradict that of the hero’s. I would have appreciated a reference to the crack investigative journalist team here at MFC, Channel 5, but your silent nod will have to do.
