Why Was This Not Major Headlines?

It baffles me what news outlets choose as important or not. Especially local news. If you want a case of instant depression, just flip on a local outlet's channel at 6 in the evening, and you'll get your fill.

Without 100 percent certainty, I think they all swung and missed this weekend. There was a big, I mean BIG, visit to High Point.

Did you know anything about it????

At the Publix supermarket, Saturday, September 27, on North Main St in High Point, they had a visitor:

When the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile comes to town, and no one's talking about it, I think we're missing out on some of the wholesome joys in life. I mean, this thing is an anomaly not seen on the reg. And there's only SIX of these, operating in the country.

Which, speaking of, did you know: Weinermobile drivers ("Hotdoggers") get a $35,600 base salary, a $150 weekly allowance for meals and personal travel, full health benefits, 18 days of paid time off, and covered hotel expenses for their year-long job?

There used to be a Weenie Whistle. A jingle. I, for one, eat hot dogs every week!

To the City of High Point, local news outlets, Publix, and anyone else whom could have spread the word -- shame on you.

It should have been major headlines.
