Tuesday's story ideas

AAA reports biggest drop in driving since 1942. Americans have apparently had enough. Meanwhile, public transportation use is up. If you have mass transit in your market, take a ride and talk to people who are new to using it.

What are the long distance travel options with plane tickets so high? Show viewers how they can travel by train or bus.

Study shows drinking coffee and tea does not raise the risk of breast cancer.

Snacks at the theater will cost more, as the price of popcorn is skyrocketing.

Some theme parks are actually lowering prices for the summer as people considering cancelling their vacations. Check with attractions in your area.

Childcare workers needed for summer as working parents need a place to ditch the kids when school is out.

McDonalds gets the trans fats out of its french fries, as it will switch to new oil by the end of the year.

Are people quitting smoking as an easy way to cut discretionary spending?
