This was an awesome show we caught tonight on The History Channel. The city they featured tonight was Chicago. Some of the things they went over we already knew (like they split the first atom under a football field here). However, we learned about an underground railroad that use to deliver goods to the department stores in the 20’s. They even showed us how that tunnel was built (I hope those workers had a Scranton personal injury lawyer on retainer since the working conditions were not great). Now, since I am not from here originally, it makes sense I did not know a lot of things they showed us. However, Bill has lived here all his life, and he learned a ton of new information too! We are Discovery Channel freaks, but I think we have found another channel we are going to start watching regularly.

They check out different cities each week that have a world underneath the streets. I highly recommend setting up your Tivo to tape!

The Discovery Channel has another great show that I have to tell you about. It is called Dirty Jobs. This show is great since the whole family can watch it. The premise is pretty easy — people write in with the “dirty job” they have. Mike Rowe, the host, goes to their job site and does their dirty job for a day. It is amazing, because there are so many jobs out there that you never knew that existed. He has done everything from being a skull cleaner to a sausage linker to a hot tar roofer in the middle of summer. He’s taken gum off the sidewalks, cleaned the gas tanks in planes, and cleaned the sewers in New York (at least, I think it was in New York). There was even a show with birds that puked on him. Sometimes, you truly wonder if he should get some Raleigh personal injury lawyers on staff, because I don’t think he always knows what he is in for. They have never shown him get hurt (yet). However, we have seen some definite OSHA violations.  If you need to appreciate your job or want some great TV viewing, then tune in to Dirty Jobs.
