Return to Story IndexI STATION PLACE REPAIRS
WE'RE TRACKING PUBLIC MONEY AND HOW ITS BEING USED. IN THIS REPORT WE'RE FOCUSING ON A HISTORIC BUILDING ON CHARLESTON'S SOUTH SIDE. EYEWITNESS NEWS REPORTER KENNIE BASS HAS THE DETAILS.
Return to Story IndexSTATION PLACE REPAIRS
One of those was to Station Place on MacCorkle Avenue at the foot of the Southside Bridge. Built in 1905, Station Place is one of Charleston's most storied structures. But the building is definitely showing its age. Its owners receivd $30,713 in grant money, which they have to match, to assist with roof repair, the painting of gutters, soffits downspouts and window trim. Although Station Place is privately owned, Brad Rowe of General Corporation says the grant will help defray some of the costs incurred while dealing with a historic structure and allow more work to be done. He says Station Place is a gateway to the Capital City that should be protected. Brad Rowe/General Corporation: It's important to preserve the historical properties so that future generations can enjoy them. When you talk about this building in particular this building was built in 1905 by the railroad. And if you look at the history of the rail industry in West Virginia that coincides with the history and the growth of the coal industry so I certainly think its significant. And what a lot of people don't realize it's actually an operating train station today. Amtrak runs three times a week out of here. So this building is the first thing people see when they get off the train. Kennie Bass/Eyewitness News: Rowe says the repair work at Station Place should be finished by this fall. And now we want to know what you think. Is the $30,000 grant awarded to Station Place money that is being well spent? Or should the owners have paid for the repairs solely by themselves.

Return to Story IndexINTRO SOCIAL IMPACT
FROM SUN UP TO SUNDDOWN, THEY ARE TURNING TO TECHNOLOGY AS THEIR PRIMARY MEANS OF COMMUNICATION. EYEWITNESS NEWS REPORTER DARRAH WILCOX RECENTLY SAT DOWN WITH A GROUP OF TEENS AT HUNTINGTON HIGH SCHOOL FOR AN OPEN DISCUSSION ABOUT SOCIAL NETWORKING... TO FIND OUT HOW THEY USE IT... AND FOR HOW LONG. When I wake up, I generally check Twitter. FROM THE MOMENT THEY GO TO BED What did you miss in your sleep? TO THE MOMENT THEY WAKE UP....TEENAGERS LIKE LUKE COOLEY SAY THEY ARE CONSTANTLY STRIVING TO STAY CONNECTED THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA. Luke Cooley Whenever I have free time I just check it. A lot. NATS laughter AND LUKE ISN'T ALONE.WE SAT DOWN WITH HIM AND HIS PEERS TO TRY AND GAUGE JUST HOW DEPENDENT THE AVERAGE TEENAGER IS ON APPLICATIONS LIKE TWITTER AND FACEBOOK..AND WHY? DEW: From wake-up to go to sleep. What are you on Facebook for? I'm mostly just checking who I'm friends with is just posting and stuff. I usually just ignore a lot of it. DEW: In the last year would you say you've ever gone a day without checking social media? If I'm like camping or something! TEENS SAY THEY FEEL DISCONNECTED WITHOUT IT. DEW: Do you all remember a world where Facebook and Twitter and all these things didn't exist? Brianna- Yeah when we had Myspace! Laughter THESE DAYS IT'S NOT JUST FACEBOOK AND TWITTER. INSTAGRAM, PINTEREST, VINE, TUMBLR AND SNAPCHAT ARE ALL OUTLETS TO STAY SOCIALLY NETWORKED. DEW:Why do you think we live in a world who has to be so connected? "It's just like a habit now. You can't exactly just stop it." "I don't think it's like at the point where you can just stop now. It's only going to progress." "Yeah I think we've gotten used to having everything at our fingertips in such a short amount of time and without it we wouldn't know what to do." WHAT ARE YOU TWEETING ABOUT? ON AVERAGE... 100,000 TWEETS ARE SENT EACH MINUTE... BUT ACCORDING TO THESE TEENS... "It's usually pretty pointless Leah "Yeah if I looked back at all my Tweets they could easily go without it." GRX on time spent online BUT TIME SPENT ON THOSE "POINTLESS" POSTS AND PICS AND TWEETS... CERTAINLY ADD UP. Luke Cooley / I'd say about three maybe. Laughter. Is that a lot? Yes! Alright... um an hour and forty-five minutes! ACCORDING TO SOCIALLY ACTIVE DOT COM, 70% OF young adults spend almost 17 hours a week online. ALLTWITTER SHOWS NEARLY 700,THOUSAND PIECES OF FACEBOOK CONTENT SHARED EACH MINUTE. AND OF COURSE THERE ARE PITFALLS. NEARLY HALF OF ALL TEENS ON SOCIAL NETWORKS ADMIT TO BEING CYBERBULLIED. A lot of times I just read by it. Scroll by it. You don't really do anything about it. You just see it. BUT WHAT STARTS OUT AS JUST A SIMPLE COMMENT OR PICTURE... CAN QUICKLY TURN VIRAL. Rachele Subik "People can take screen shots of it. Someone's always going to find out about it." AND... IT CAN HAVE DEADLY CONSEQUENCES. "She was sweet and she was kind" AUDRIE POTT WAS A CALIFORNIA TEENAGER WHO WAS REPORTEDLY RAPED BY THREE TEEN BOYS, WHO ALLEGEDLY POSTED PICTURES OF THE INCIDENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. POTT COMMITTED SUICIDE A WEEK LATER. "She's missed every day." SO DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK YOUR KIDS QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR SOCIAL NETWORKING LIFE. Blue- "You should also make your child feel comfortable enough so that they can come to you if they see something that they don't like or someone's talking to them in a way they don't like because often people aren't going to find out about it. WHILE THERE IS A VERY DARK SIDE TO SOCIAL MEDIA, TEENS ALSO KNOW THERE ARE PERKS TO POSTING Leah: "Knowing that I was applying to some art schools I was like well if they do check it and I post some of my art on here then that might be cool." A COMMON HASHTAG CAN UNITE COMMUNITIES AND EVEN THE COUNTRY. SO, WHILE YOU ARE TWEETING, POSTING AND LIKING AWAY THE MINUTES EACH DAY... DON'T FORGET THE WORLD WIDE WEB DOESN'T HAVE TO BE YOUR WHOLE WORLD. sigout PARENTS CAN ALSO BE PROACTIVE WHEN IT COMES TO COMMUNICATING WITH KID ABOUT SOCIAL NETWORKING.
Return to Story IndexG EXPERT ADVISE
ALSO- BE OPEN. THE GROUP WE SAT DOWN WITH SAY THEY ARE LISTENING TO THEIR PARENTS! SO TALK TO YOUR KIDS ABOUT YOUR EXPECTATIONS AND POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES FROM SOCIAL MEDIA. REMIND THEM NOT TO SHARE TOO MUCH... WHETHER IT'S A PICTURE, PERSONAL INFORMATION, OR LOCATION-BASED SERVICES. TWO out of the train EARLY THIS MORNING.... It's believed the train was carrying ethanol, SO A hazmat team was scent to the scene... NO WORD YET ON HOW THOSE ENGINEERS ARE DOING TONIGHT...
