BBC in Kokomo – Update

Posted by: Betty | Comments (0)


Change of Plans for BBC-WHYS


This is an update: The BBC Comes to Kokomo

The BBC crew that was supposed to join Madeleine and Shaimaa in Indiana, is heading back to London instead. They had been in Mexico City for about a week. Their original intent was to  learn first hand about the impact of drug trade and growing violence on life in Mexico. Instead they arrived as news of the flu epidemic was unfolding.

While in Mexico City they’ve covered the flu epidemic and have decided to head straight back to London. They don’t want to make any stops that might jeopardize the health of others.

April 28 – Heading Home

April 29 – On Air: 100 Days of Obama

More about their visit to Kokomo and the people they met

The crew that visited Kokomo is headed to Indianapolis tomorrow (Thursday) and will be there a couple of days.

Should We Buy a House in Kokomo?

Posted by: Betty | Comments (0)


betty100-thumb.jpgIs Buying a House a Good Idea?

Betty,

I just read your blog on buying a home in Kokomo. My wife and I are teachers and at the moment feel pretty good about our job security. However, we don’t know how long we will stay in Kokomo. We are thinking 5-7 years at the most and it could be as little as 2-3 years. Should we buy or wait until we know for sure what we are going to be doing?

Thank you so much,

First Time Buyer

  • The auto industy and its place in Kokomo.
  • The effect of the first 100 days of the Obama administration on small town America.
