WFMZ has a craving for a sweet treat.

Bethlehem-based Just Born, maker of marshmallow Peeps, Mike and Ike, Peanut Chews and other candies, is set to open its first retail store. They're calling it Peeps & Company. It will open at National Harbor outside Washington, D.C. this fall.

I'd say probably cause they can make a lot more money at the National Harbor than they can here. Lets just be glad they're able to expand their business. This should mean that they can continue production in our area, which means no more loss of jobs from them and possibly an increase, if they do well with it.

If you had a knife and a piece of Spam sitting in front of you, what shape would you carve out of it? Or perhaps you're such a fan of Spam, you'd just eat it. Just remember, we're all family-minded here.

WFMZ is following the death of Michael Jackson.

Source: wfmz.com
The L.A. Times is reporting that pop star Michael Jackson has died. Jackson, 50, was rushed to the hospital this afternoon after being found not breathing when paramedics arrived at his home about 12:30 Pacific time, according to a fire department official.

Goodbye Michael. I grew up watching and listening to you. Thank you for your music, for LiveAid and We Are the World and all the charitable acts you did around the world. Thank you for a life lived to the fullest, replete with things done right or wrong, weak or strong. May you find the peace now that you could not find in life, and may you be remembered for the good that you did and the lives that you blessed.
Bill

He is finally in peace--sad to say, but probably for the first time in his life. What a tortured life that man lived. He gave so much to the world; and the world took so much from him. I think that everyone would conceed that fame is not all that it's cracked up to be. He was a very talented man but also had a fragile soul. I wish him, as everyone who has departed from this earth, peace in the afterlife.
