The Leader Of The Free World came to my hometown on Friday, and brought attention to a worldwide problem by visiting the little church I am still a member of.

A simple idea has become a phenomenon and it’s playing a role in picking the next President.

The internet is quickly taking over as a powerful force in the broadcasting world. It’s not yet replacing other venues, but many experts say, it one day will. It’s an issue that is at the center of the writers’ strike, and one that I’ve found…has some merit.

I keep in touch with so many people through email.  In the newsroom, we use email to get information to one another and then post it on the web for our viewers.  I use email to keep in touch with my friends in cities throughout the country.  It’s such an easy way to say a quick hello… confirm plans… even send a birthday card!

I know many of you know exactly what I am talking about. The various groups that set up shop at Five Points to peddle their cause in Florence and block traffic while they mostly just annoy drivers trying to get to a destination.

When we were younger, me and my friends used to talk about cars that could fly. My mom got a new car last week, and while it may not be able to fly, it sure is the coolest car I’ve seen in a long time.

Now that Thanksgiving is over, we can all start preparing for Santa to come to town!  Many shoppers in the Pee Dee are doing just that today.  Thousands turned out across the Eastern Carolinas to find the perfect gifts for their family and friends.

Shoppers are still out in full force at Magnolia Mall in Florence…all searching for the perfect holiday gifts.  Some shoppers said they were looking for clothes while others were shopping for electronics. 

The mall is officially packed!

While covering Black Friday, I stopped by Best Buy to see what were the hot items of the season. Chad Huggins, manager of Best Buy, fills me in on some of the items his customers purchased since the store opened 5 a.m.

It’s official—the Christmas shopping season has begun.  Magnolia Mall in Florence is extremely busy today as shoppers scurry around from store to store in search of the perfect gifts. 

Shoppers are still going strong. I ran into one shopper who was in the of giving to a needy child.

It’s crowded now!

While you’re out shopping for Christmas gifts, remember that it’s not just about buying the hottest items for you friends and family. It’s also a time to give to the less fortunate, the poor, the hungry and the needy.

Shocked? Yeah, I was too. I purposely left Wally World for the last stop on my trip, expecting it to be total mayhem.
