At Street Level 170

 At Street Level. Talking to a guy from Indianapolis who started reading my blog & wanted me to write some stuff on local newspaper etc.etc. Right away that was a little good karma because that is the rode I'm on. Marc Chase is boss now @The Times where he serves as editor and writes a weekly column. Street called him up just to run something by him. Then just to make small talk I mention to him about Quid pro quo with Mrvan and Pabeys daughter. The thing that got me was Wolf Chase was kinda pissed at Mark Kiesling. Seem as though Kiesling was coming to work at nine in the morning to The Times with Vodka on his breath. Wolf Chase said he did his job and wrote him up and passed upstairs. But nothing was ever done to hear Wolf Chase tell it and I let him blow. Then, me mentions that Kiesling has a pretty good following and that is probably why they let him come to work with vodka on his breath. And Kiesling would nail some people to the cross in some of his columns.
 
At Street Level. Suddenly something told me to stay on The Times and share some anecdotal stories about Wolf Chase. And Street was Kool with him because we had history after we both were left at the altar on that Gilbert Bonilla Story that was pulled at the 11thhour. Again, I called up Wolf Chase just to see what was up and worked him if I could. Boom, here we go again. Then he goes on about there are reporters in our office receiving gifts from politicians, but he would not accept a gift. Street took mental notes. Then one day about 2months later attending a meeting at Hammond Public Library where I ran into a K.B., a business writer for The Times. Street starts up a conversation as they chat. Street pointed at his name tag. +The Times you guys get gifts over there. +Street took his shot as I looked at him eyeball to eyeball. Not anymore,” he told me. This was my Big 10-4 on what Wolf Chase told me. You heard stuff people who made allegations about The Times, but these were staff writers K? Again, Street took mental notes because this would have to be in the script.
