5 YEARS!


5 YEARS AND COUNTING! 

It's hard to believe. Shawn and I have been here at WJLA for 5 years and this past week the station was kind enough to acknowledge our 5 year anniversary with a complimentary dinner at a restaurant of our choosing. Since we both love to eat we couldn't have asked for anything better! 

It's been a good run, but it's not what we received, marking the anniversary, that matters, it's what we've given back. We are both meticulous when it comes to record keeping so when we started here 5 years ago we thought it would be a great idea to keep track of the value of goods and services we've recovered for you. 

THE MONEY COUNTER.

In just 5 years, through the stories that we have investigated and the people that we have tracked down,Shawn and I have recovered more than 2 million dollars for our viewers and that number continues to grow.  We added the counter to our "7 On Your Side" page but our bosses were so pleased with this accomplishment, the number is proudly displayed throughout our site. A testament of the work that we do for you. It's a good karma job and we hope to keep doing it for many years to come.

Metro buses are making illegal left turns from Constitution Avenue onto 6th Street, NW and from 6th Street NW onto Pennsylvania Avenue. I have e-mailed WMATA about this but the buses are still making the left turn on the straight arrow instead of waiting for the green arrow even though the sign says "left turn on left turn green arrow only" and this morning one bus made a left turn onto Pennsylvania Avenue on a red light while the second bus just went half way through the intersection and then waited before making the left turn on the red light. And some of the buses honk at you if you are waiting for the proper light - isn't it illegal to use your horn in Washington, DC? This happens around 7:45 in the morning and a couple of the buses routes are 54 and P17. These seem to be new routes because we've been coming in that way every morning for several years and never noticed the buses before. The buses go east on Constitution then turn north on 6th Street and then make an immediate left turn to go west onto Pennsylvania Avenue.

HAPPY 5th anniversary!!!! I have watched your show many times and Ross, Shawn, and 7 On Your Side helped me resolve a big issue with a major company recently. I hope your show last many, many, many, more years. Great job!!!!

Hey folks, Shawn here. I just read Ross' blog and here's something he forgot...Ross and I have become the World's Most Overdressed Movers.

Countless times, Ross had to carry a couch or a chair somewhere, or I had to lift rolls of carpet with one hand while carrying a camera in the other...and that's the type of thing you can't place a pricetag upon. Yes, we're well over 2 million dollars back for you, but we are also a few back-aches and muscle pulls shy of a million.

But in the end, it's true. We both hope to keep doing this for years to come.
