A TREASURE GONE

Tampa lost a treasure when Whaley's Market closed.  Sure, you can get produce, meat, and prepared foods plenty of places.  But, that's only part of what made Whaley's so special.  It was a place where people could expect recommendations from employees as to what produce is best, and in season, and how to cook your roast without drying it out.  Customers could also engage in CONVERSATION with other customers.  You rarely find THAT anymore. It was a family owned business that felt down-home.  I will miss the atmosphere, AND the Washington cherries.

As I write this bio, I realize just how fast time flies. I've been working at WTVT Channel 13 for almost 20 years. I started on the morning show with Ernie Lee, when it was called "Breakfast Beat." During these years I've worked the medical beat and weekend mornings. I come from the Midwest. I was born and raised in Decatur, Illinois, once the soybean capitol of the world! College took me to the big city of Chicago. I "played in Peoria" at a TV station there before settling in Tampa. It's been a great adventure, and I can't wait for the NEXT 20!!!!!
