in case you missed it

A doll, Obama, & prostitution marketing make our top news list this week

There wasn't a dull moment to be had in the Queen City this week. And, "In Case You Missed It", we have the top three stories that everyone is talking about!

Yes, that's a life-sized Jolly Green Giant doll, and it can be yours!

It was announced this week…or at least rumored about…that Barack Obama’s Democratic National Convention speech would move from Time Warner Cable Arena to Bank of America Stadium. People speculated about the potential switch in venue. Some said it was to help the convention fundraise committee get some help bringing in some extra cash. Others said it was to simply allow more people to bask in the glory. Either way, Obama and Bank of America together again?? That’d be a story for the ages.

Then, we found this great item for sale on eBay from a local woman. It’s a life-size Jolly Green Giant doll and we couldn’t resist letting everyone know that such a thing existed and could be theirs!

Finally, a man pleaded guilty on Wednesday to a slew of charges stemming from a prostitution ring he was running out of a brothel he’d created right here in Charlotte. What’s more, his little marketing campaign to lure “John’s” to the home was one for the ages.
