Scintillating!

My only concern is...who makes the calls about what gets on the map?

This is kind of my point...who decides which news is trustworthy and/or mundane?

TUSCALOOSA | Customers and employees at Krystal’s restaurant at 3710 McFarland Blvd. were evacuated Monday night around 7:30 p.m. after a grenade shell was found.

The grenade shell, which did not have gunpowder or a pin, was left in one of the restaurant’s bathrooms, said Cpt. Clayton Gibbs of the Tuscaloosa Police Department. The building was evacuated for about 30 minutes until two members of the Tuscaloosa Police bomb squad determined that the grenade was inactive, Gibbs said.

It is not known who left the dummy grenade in the restroom. There are no suspects in the case.
