Good stuff.

This got no mention in Rochester (well - not that I had heard of), especially after all the bru-ha-ha with the Extreme Makeover House in Geneva.

Anthony
It's in Pat's post above.

The segment was great this morning. The station looks so good.

The video is on the GMA website: http://abcnews.go.com/gma

Just expand the "today" section and scroll down. A really nice job. Also, there is another video, an expanded version of the Niagara Falls interview, via a link underneath the video window.

You can't get better PR than that.

Between this and the track rehab - banner year for the ARA.

Curious to see what ridership stats will look like for the fall season.

As a followup: The October 19 coverage of "Make a Difference Day" in "USA Weekend" (a Gannett "magazine" supplement to some Sunday papers) includes a paragraph on the A&A and JT's efforts as well as the Extreme Makeover. It's great to see that the editors selected this out of all the choices they could have made.

Since "USA Weekend" is included with the Democrat and Chronicle, we finally saw some press coverage in Rochester... :-D

Here's some online coverage, though it's prior to what happened this year:
