Portland will get 2 minutes of national TV time this Sunday.
Producers from CBS News Sunday Morning (the one with Charles Osgood) flew into Portland last Thursday to tape footage for the upcoming show.
The episode will feature good news from around the country and when the producers got wind of Portland cops giving out lights to cyclists, they thought it’d make a good fit. We’re sharing the limelight with a boy who raised money to adopt a dog and a guy who left corporate life to be a cook.
When I met up with them at Pioneer Courthouse Square they were talking with guys from the Lawyer’s Ride (see photo).
The crew also spent time with traffic safety specialist Greg Raisman and Bill Sinnott, commander of traffic division at the Portland Police Bureau.
I hope none of the lame stuff I said makes it onto national TV.
