The Burbank Follower, Vol. 1, No. 5

LAS VEGAS MARATHON
A Burbanker (or, perhaps a Burbankette) recounts his/her running the Las Vegas Marathon in under five hours. Lucky Star. Ugh. I ran the New Orleans Marathon in 2004 - the one right before Katrina - and I shall not likely do it again. Marathons hurt, yo.

RONG-WAY RICHIE FOLLOW-UP
And, yes, I realize I can no longer make sighing sounds about the hype surrounding the Nichole Richie vs. the 134 deal if I continue to post about it. I'm weirdly fascinated, OK? TMZ.

WI-FI IN BURBANK
The City Council hears proposals on making wi-fi available citywide. Study pending on whether the service should be free or subscription-based. Leader.

SAVED FROM THE SHREDDER
A Burbank councilman wants to look at a documents scheduled for destruction. Other members of the council think it's silly. Leader.

BURBANK MAN GETS 50 YEARS IN KILLING
Herman Delos Rios, 54, receives a 50-year sentence for the March 2005 murder of Sunny Henrig. Leader. The subhed in the print edition notes that Rios "could be given parole in just 24 years." Huh. In 24 years, Rios will be 78. If he makes it that long, he's not likely to be much a danger to society, but whadda I know?

NBC STUDIO EXPANSION
A proposed expansion of the NBC-Universal property will likely impact Burbank traffic...and not in the positive direction. Leader.
