Columbia SC news stations begin their live local news shows at 5am.   
At first, I thought, "Wow, that's early and I doubt anyone watches  
that." But now that I get up at 5ish during the week, I appreciate  
Curtis Wilson and Nat Roers being there to tell me what's going on in  
Columbia, which of course usually is not too much.  But this morning  
as I was roused at 4:03 AM, I noticed a lively voice on the TV talking  
about the current weather conditions in Indy.  Quite amazing that a  
news show would be live at 4 AM and actually be good and informative.   
But I guess that's what you find in a progressive city.
Don't get me wrong.  I like Columbia.  Heck, I may even love it.  But  
there is a certain charm about a city that seems to be on the same  
page in a lot of ways.  There's always a new building that has been  
built since my last visit(this time it was a phenomenal addition to  
their library.....last time was Lucas Oil Stadium which is still  
unreal) there are always plans to revitalize an area or some thing  
else cool going on in the city.  Indy just simply has it going on.
Maybe I feel this way about Indy because my guide for the weekend  
knows everything there is to know about her city.  And there's a lot  
to know.  Working for the Chamber has served her well but I would  
imagine that the Chamber is esctactic to have her serving with them.   
If there was ever a picture of Midwestern hospitality it would be Alane.
As I expected, I still love Indy.  I look forward to coming back in  
April for the Final Four and seeing what is new in the city and what  
it has in store for me.

I for one love the charming nature of Columbia early morning news as Messervy fumbles her report after a night of getting hammered.
