New beginnings for Capitalist Cleveland radio

In search of a new radio home, Don Larson and Irv Katz did a bangup last show on WERE. Radio One in New York is taking over this station and almost all local programming is being canceled.

Happy Highlights
Joanne Stores, headquartered in Hudson, up 11% last week, was the featured stock market pick in this final WERE episode. They're the Number One fabric retailer in the U.S. In 700+ stores 22,000 employees help customers mainly with fabric and crafts--to the tune of $1.8 billion sales in 2005 (net income $46 million). December sales alone were up 4.5%.

Dow Jones also went higher than it's been in four-and-a-half years (since the 9/11 disaster).

Local investors look at a Florida resort property--which prompted your hosts to remark that Cleveland weather is comparatively great--no tsunamis, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and not even really terrible blizzards.
