Whether I'm out on a story or out with my family the people I've run into have offered invaluable insight. They want me to know not only who what where when and how, they want me to know why. Why are we named after a French King? Why is horseracing in our hearts and basketball in our soul. Why do baseball bats and boxing gloves define us world wide. Why did our city and county government merge? And, why in the world can't we get that darn bridge painted.

It's answers to those questions that make me want to learn more about the people and places in my new city. So, while you're going about your daily life, and you stumble upon a "why" in your world, send it to me, and I'll see if I can get an answer. If you have a story idea, I'd love to hear that as well.
