Hi Chip,
I have a question that is more like a request/suggestion/idea for you and the Web Team.
Sometimes, you shoot a "tease" with where you will be flying to review construction progress/road closure updates around the Metroplex for the next morning's show. For example, one time you teased the Wycliff Plaza construction, and I was waiting for you to show the lanes the next morning. However, Breaking News happened, and I don't believe you were ever able to show it because of the priority of the coverage, which is perfectly understandable.
My suggestion is this: When something like that happens, or even if you are able to show it but it may not be in the hour that we are watching (because we have to leave to get out in the traffic, as was the case with me that morning), is it possible to have an archived page on the site where we can see the video? On a morning when Breaking News takes precedence, you could shoot the construction video and narration later and post it on the site.
You could call it something like "Chip's Road Construction Video" or "Chip's Road Update Video".
Please let me know if this would be possible.
I've never been to this parade because of all of the traffic headaches and stories concerning parking. Since I bought my new car last September, I was kind of wary about going this year, but I would like to try to attend next year.
So I've decided to ask those of you who have attended before to find out the best strategies and locations to legally drive and park to be able to safely go and return.
Any insights on this topic from the FOX4 traffic experts (James Rose, Chip, and Todd) would also be appreciated here.
