Hi, It’s Craig Russell, host of The Afternoon Hustle here on Classic Hits 98.7 WFGR! I have worked in places all over Michigan, but that’s not important. I’m here in West Michigan now, eatin' Fred's Pizza (yum!) buying my milk at Meijer, and playing Classic Hits of the 60's 70's and 80's FOR YOU!

Weird Wednesday: Recreating Your Old Childhood Pictures.
Some people have WAY too much time on their hands. I mean seriously, what do these people DO all day? Dont have they have lives or jobs or families? Well OK they DO have families.
Who Knew The Dollar Store Was So Filled With Tech Stuff?
Don't get me wrong. I love the dollar store. I'm sorry, but a place where you can get 32 things for 32 dollars and tax. Perfect. I love the dollar store, and while I confess I have 2 things on this list, I didnt realize the other items can be bought for a dollar.
It’s A Joe Boxer Christmas.
The people at Kmart are at least going out in a blaze of glory. The business world has been predicting the death of Sears and Kmart for a couple of years now. And if the icon Michigan retail brand is heading to Montgomery Ward and Woolworth's-Land, they at least aren't going down easy.
The Breaking Bad ALTERNATE ENDING.
I never watched the show. Not one single second. Bryan Cranston will always be the dentist from Seinfeld and the dad on Malcolm in the Middle. And he's been on Big Bang Theory. I think. Or it's How I Met your Mother. Whatever, about 800 million people watched the last episode and are still all into the show.

A Tribute To Juliet Dragos
Not done by me! I mean Juliet is nice and all, but this is someone else's handiwork.
Actually I was tipped off to this Tumblr site from the WZZM Facebook page.
How they found out about it I'm not sure.
Veterans Day Deals!
Now THIS is the way it's supposed to be! Every rinky dink excuse most places have for having free deals or specials is cute, but having a TON of them on Veterans Day really matters! It used just be Golden Corral and Applebee's with the specials, Now every place is doing something to honor our veterans!
Get Ready West Michigan–Guess What Is Going Up?
Yep. Gas. Like we knew it couldn't last THIS long. According to Gasbuddy.com, wholesale gas prices are going up, which means OUR gas is going up. Considering this is the lowest we have seen gas in about 2 years, I'm not a fan.
