Tuesday's story ideas

Cracks found in support pillar of Philadelphia interstate. Check with the local highway inspectors in your market to see how things are checked, if at all.

The economy may be in trouble but casinos are still packed. Do people gamble more when money is tight?

Generic drugs... are they just as good as the brand names? (That question from my mother.)

Kid free vacations. Kids are taking over cruise ships and Vegas. Is there anyplace left for adults to go on vacation without munchkins running around?

Shade trees. People are planting more fast growing trees (like the Empress) around their homes to create more shade and save on air conditioning.

Unplugging things that are not in use. You can save five percent on your power bill. Things like cell phone chargers are the worst offenders.

National parks. Will Americans turn to cheap alternatives for vacations this summer?

Has the governor in your state had an affair? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
