News and Tribune editorial board swiftly embraces localism.

Our newspaper expedites, and offers the major themes of cracked bridge as community building opportunity, not faux "disaster."
OUR OPINION: Let’s make the best of the bridge bummer, by the News and Tribune editorial board of Publisher Bill Hanson, Editor Shea Van Hoy and Assistant Editors Amy Huffman-Branham and Chris Morris

... Hoosiers have a chance to help each other out by being courteous and helpful — and by spending money at local businesses.

Let’s treat this like the warnings during winter weather — don’t go out unless you have to, but alter it to “don’t go to Louisville unless you must.”

Take stress off the bridges and yourself and see what Southern Indiana has to offer.

Maybe a little good news comming from this. Tonight my wife and I are out to dinner and we have heard three deferent people talking about them going to change the way the eat out and shop because they don't want to cross the bridge more then they need to for work. One said there's no way I going to cross the bridge when if I don't have to and we will find a few new places to go.

That could be a good sign for S. Indiana. Let's hope.

Hell, maybe Dawn and I will even eat at Roger's before it's all over. ;-)
