The Rundown

It's all about rail and music this morning.

7:45     We talk to Street Wise Vendor Roger on the corner of Wacker and Washington.  He talks about sleeping in a warehouse shelter with 250 men, being treated like a prisoner in shelters, why he would never sleep in a doorway, and his new business buying Street Wise for 75 cents a copy and selling it for 2 dollars.

9:00   Jeff Hill found a lizard on a crate that came from South Carolina.   The lizard looked dead, but came to life.  He and his co-workers made a habitat for it and are feeding it live spiders from the warehouse.  Customers are coming in to see the lizard.

9:15   Streetwise director of distribution Greg Pritchett talks about busting the stereotypes of homeless people.

9:45   A member of the Indiana High Speed Rail Association talks about the value of high speed rail to the region.
