Someone once said that being a journalist is like having a front row seat to history. Well, I've been sitting in that seat for more than 15 years and I want to share the view with you. Front Row will keep you informed of what's really going on in your community and across the nation. Send news tips, pictures, or videos to michellemccalope@gmail.com. I'd love to hear from you!

The T.O. Show Debuts Tonight, Will you Watch?
Finally, somebody has figured out T.O.
Two people, actually. Now they want the rest of us to discover the real Terrell Owens.

After working with the wide receiver for most of the past decade, Monique Jackson and Kita Williams—a pair of trendily-dressed Los Angeles-based publicists—know him well ... well enough not only to have a name for his oft-publicized outbursts ("T.O.T.s"—short for "T.O. tantrums") but also to admonish him when he has one.
"I have the maternal instinct," Jackson said. "When he has a T.O.T., I can reprimand him."
A handful of NFL coaches and quarterbacks could have used Jackson over the years, but a cable network got her and Williams (who Jackson said is "more like a big sister") instead.
The stylish duo co-stars in The T.O. Show, which debuts on VH1 tonight at 10 ET. Jackson and Williams are closer to Owens than publicists are with clients. They advise Owens, 35,in personal matters (love, fatherhood, post-football plans), convinced him to move to Los Angeles this offseason after getting dumped by the Dallas Cowboys and will have a room to stay in his Buffalo-area home when they visit him this season.
