Where is that story from?

Is it asking too much for newspapers to let the rest of the world know where a story takes place? Like, what city and state, for instance.

Now that we are in the ‘internet age’ more and more newspapers are posting their local stories online. Which is great, I really like the ability to see what goes on in small town America. But when a story headline reads “Reward offered in North Arlington rock salt heist; 75 tons stolen”, for instance, I would like to know where North Arlington is.

The body of the story gives no clue whatsoever.

A search for Arlington tells me there is an Arlington in Virginia, Texas, Massachusetts, Illinois.

I’m just saying.


About the rock salt, someone actually stole 75 tons of rock salt from a public works garage. It is reported to be valued at $4,800. Unbelievable. Where would someone hide 75 tons of rock salt? Could this be the work of a neighboring city? Is there some newly discovered drug process that uses rock salt? I’m joking, but this story has got to be a joke.
