You have questions. I have some answers.
Q: Tom Hanks made a movie about being the captain of a destroyer escorting a convoy during World War II. I do not know the name of the movie, but I donât think it was ever released in theaters. I canât find it on Redbox or pay-per-view, and I cannot find it for purchase anywhere. Do you know what happened to this movie?
Answer: The name of the movie is âGreyhound,â and it is quite good. As you know, when the pandemic forced many movie theaters to shut down, studios began looking for other ways to get their productions in front of audiences, and streaming was one solution. So âGreyhoundâ ended up on the subscription service Apple TV+, where you can still find it (and where you can get a seven-day free trial).
ON MARCH 29, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control, shared âthe recurring feeling I have of impending doom.â She later gave MSNBC viewers some good news: âOur data from the CDC today suggests, you know, that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, donât get sick.â
Three days later, a CDC spokesman took it back: âDr. Walensky spoke broadly during this interview. Itâs possible that some people who are fully vaccinated could get COVID-19. The evidence isnât clear whether they can spread the virus to others. We are continuing to evaluate the evidence.â
ASHLAND In a whirlwind meeting Thursday detailing big moves in downtown Ashland, the city commission said it is looking into tearing down the old Ashland Oil building to make way for a convention center in the cityâs core.
While traffic was the biggest topic of the meeting, the plans for the property played a strong second fiddle.
The job has been on the docket since 2013, when plans were drawn up to turn the blighted property into an attraction â Commissioner Cheryl Spriggs said a convention center is âa part of the jigsaw puzzle for our downtown.â
Located at 1401 Winchester Avenue, the plan is part of an overall push that Mayor Matthew B. Perkins said is to renovate the downtown. In addition to making way for the convention center, which would be across the street from the Delta Hotel, Perkins said tearing down the building is important due to public safety.
