I know I’m not the only one who thinks that Jack O’Reilly is a ringer for the late Dom Deluise. Maybe there’s some bigger roles coming his way.

….um, since I’m not sure where else to put this comment, I will put it in this section….just an opinion….Did anyone see that Dearborn was finally a “zip trip” (Friday morning showcase of a city) on Fox 2 news? I just wish that it was better prepared. It only highlighted Homecoming. Don’t get me wrong – Homecoming is a fun event that I attend every year, but I feel that Dearborn has soooo much more to offer than a carnival! What about our 2 downtowns (how many cities have that!?). What about our history? etc. etc. I know that time was limited, but it just should’ve been better prepared. Not sure if that’s Dearborn’s fault, or Fox 2 News…….

Good for him, he probably had a lot of fun with it.

Perhaps if his father had gotten things together Dearborn could have even been one of the eight SE Michigan cities where Whip It was filmed. That would have been good for many of us here.

However, all we can apparently get done is to ask people (via a useless city website and a little watched CDTV) to send in snapshots of the city to put on a website that we have yet to see. I wonder how that’s coming along.

Must be following in his father’s footsteps – “Mayor Jack O’Reilly makes a special cameo appearance in the show as well” – referring to his part in the “High School Musical 2 On Stage”.
