I met and photographed Angelique Motton, 38, in downtown Kalamazoo as temps were near freezing. She was looking for her tent Tuesday.
Her brother just called me from GA. They haven't spoke for 20 yrs. I called Angelique. She said she would call him.

Angelique Motton, 38, bundled up on the sidewalk near North Burdick/Eleanor Tuesday as temperatures were near freezing. She headed back to find her tent nearby a drop-in day shelter.
She wasn’t sure where she would stay last night, unsure where her tent was at.

Kids, if you want to make a reel, you've gotta raise your hand to read in class!
(I just spent time reading a news script and it might have helped if I raised my hand more). Back to practicing reading and talking.

An overflowing dumpster at a mobile home park today in Kalamazoo.
Tenants worry, because uncollected trash a couple months ago led to roaches, they say.
The park had its water cut temporarily last month because management hadn’t paid the bill.

For ethe record, I'm still working on the powerful interview I did in GR, but I am taking more time. I mentioned it previously. Going great, it's a captivating story. Talked to two more sources about it this week.

I asked Hot n Now how much the burgers are going to be, but it sounds like we'll all have to wait until it opens Monday.
Not expecting 39c though, like it was "back in the day."
I'll be at the Grand Opening Monday in Wayland.

I asked a government chatbot what some of the top newsworthy stories are in the county.
It said government adding AI chatbots was a top story.
Then it backpedaled.

I got an unofficial word that the man who slept on the sidewalk last night was called back when his name came up on the waiting list.
A street team is looking for him to let him know. So he may have a chance to go back to the emergency shelter tonight.
Not sure how long he would be able to stay.
