Some announcements

Okay, seeing that I'm giving myself more hits than I'm getting from others, it's a good time to get some announcements out of the way.

First, Ohio Media Watch is in the process of moving. OMW is closing out his presence on Blogger, and will make Word Press his permanent home, as he finds it more to his advantage. You can still find him at his Blogger address, but his new home is: http://ohiomediawatch.wordpress.com/, and after awhile this will be the only place where you can catch the latest musings from the dean of area media bloggers.

Ginny, moving on: Ginny, my blog friend from south Florida, has started a new blog, called Moving On. Here is where she tells about the latest going on's in her life, as she goes into the next chapter.

Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil...

Happy Birthday to...
