Public safety's on the minds of Roanoke County residents and they're not talking about the jail. Plus, a downtown Roanoke hotspot closes up shop... for a while, at least. And, one military wife did more than put her soldier husband on a pedestal. She stuck him on a billboard.

Tonight, the county held a community meeting to change all that. [RESCUE GRAPHIC IN MONITOR***]

What they have are six police officers working in an office made for one.
Down the hall in the 9-1-1 dispatch center, space is so limited it brings a whole new meaning to a corner office.
There's also very little storage space (shot of boxes on desk) and since the building is more than sixty years old, it's technology is completely outdated.

It's been 24 years since the Eagles have been able to play in the Super Bowl. But they've arrived this season largely due to their ability to keep it all in perspective.

Unfortunately, McNabb will not have the man who caught two TD passes yesterday. Chad Lewis has to have ankle surgery tomorrow and he will miss the Super Bowl. The Eagles are early 7 point underdogs for the February 6th game.

The man from Northern Iowa had apparently put the money under the mattress for safe keeping and then forgotten it.
