The local TV stations have not been much help either. I guess there’s nothing to know? You’d think there would be some local news that two TV stations and a newspaper might think about covering.

    I found out a few days ago when it snowed last time that an emergency declaration had been declared from social media because it wasn’t reported on. This time I just wanted to know if I could go to Kroger without getting hassled by the cops for being out when I shouldn’t be, but apparently I don’t get to know that.

      Local communications being reduced to social media posts is the sign to just dissolve the community, it’s over.

        There hasn’t been much of a community here the entire time I’ve lived here. Terre Haute is the very worst place in Indiana, which is quite something.

      Yeah, that is more incompetence than I am used to. When we get driving bans and other emergency declarations, the local news will put that crawly thing on the bottom of the screen letting us know what’s up. I bet they get complaints when it covers up the score of the game.

      Second that.

      What original source did the social media cite? Have you looked there for your answers?
