Commentary Why I am named the Urban Hobo Girl because I move often and now I am settled in the Triad area. As they say It has gotten better, still a challenge. This is the first episode of a " little bit of everything news" that is open to conversation , information, topics of interest and what the public thinks. Starting with local news and grow with the topics and see the response from our public. For the first episode the best news is talking about the local news. The biggest news I am following at the present moment is in Asheville NC. Wanda Greene and Mandy Stone." WOW " It is about time. I am wondering what took so long? Is it because the nepotism? So Wanda did not get her sentencing reduced " Yeah", She went from 30 years down to 7 years and now wants 4 years. In the meantime I just read an article when another person got 50 years for a $50.00 Theft. I read some responses and we all feel the same about these two who are not getting the true sentences they deserve. I understand the investigation is continuing. Does anyone want to share any experiences about Mandy or Wanda including department issue for example DSS. I have a story I will share at later date. The Best Stories are the true stories.
