NBC anchor Brian Williams went on the road to Cleveland where he introduced a trio of local features. Just as Dan Harris (subscription required) did last Friday for ABC's Mortgage Mess, Kevin Tibbles showed us the neighborhood ruin caused by home mortgage foreclosures in Cleveland, the city with "the highest concentration in the nation." Slavic Village is "a virtual ghost town…It can happen overnight: the family moves out; the scavengers move in, stripping off the aluminum siding, taking the copper wiring, copper piping and leaving the home wide open for the criminal element." And Robert Bazell visited the Cleveland Clinic for a similar feature to the Forced to be Fit story Dean Reynolds filed last week for CBS about employers creating "health and wellness initiatives" for their workers. The Clinic hires no smokers, serves no transfats in its cafeteria and has tried--but failed--to evict a McDonald's franchise from the hospital lobby.
