Shame On The Local News People

  • Friday, May 22, 2015
Thursday night there was a showing of the HBO Movie "Bessie" at the Tivoli Theatre.  "Bessie" was one of our most famous Chattanooga citizens.  Great movie and the outfits were amazing.  Cars and trucks parked out front were beautiful.
 
Now the problem.  I did not see any coverage by our local "news" persons.  Will HBO want to premier any other new movies in our town with no press or TV coverage?  It is possible that I missed a news crew, but there was nothing on Channel 9 last night or in the local paper today.
 
Thank you, Tivoli, for an exciting evening.  xm%#$ you local news people.
