It thatalk about continued into the 20th century. We had that National Road that was financed by the federal government in the 1840s. It will not be there until the 1890s that there was this bicycle craze. Communities were being pressured to have better roads. Only going up into the suburbs. We have places like cleveland and philadelphia. , and alla movement prior to thesystem coming of the automobile which is really from 1900 to 1905.

Our storm from yesterday has moved into the midwest. Winter storm from st. Louis to chicago with conditions in sections of illinois and indiana with severe storms in portions of georgia and florida this morning. Theyve theyre in a tornado watch. Temperatures move into the upper 40s. Well do it with sunshine today. The wind stays up in the foothills until about sunset when things start to slide down. Good morning to amelia earhart. Relatively warm good commute. Roads dried out very quickly. In fact, well before the end of the morning rush. Today, not a sign of that as we take a live peek outside toward i70. Usually this is the first one to bounce around

This is not your fathers business show. Varney and company is about to begin. If huge sheet you dont play fair you will be the mvp of the superbowl and marry one of the most beautiful women on earth. Stuart everybody is talking about it. The patriots did intentionally deflate balls at the afc championship game. Quarterback tom brady most likely new what was going on. The new york tabloids were having a field day. The front page of the New York Post nfl probe, the cover of the New York Daily News great balls of liar. He is laughing already. With who is here. Lou dobbs host of lou dobbs tonight. Hold on a second. I have to say my piece here. I am astonished at the venom being directed against the patriots and tom brady.
