You know the drill. Cutesy news copy delivered by a voice only a Junior High School speech teacher could love.
A closer look:
#1: Columbia City, not Columia City. You may not pronounce the "B", but most of us who live in the area do.
#2: "a ton of stuff". The only thing worse in news writing than using excessive descriptive adjectives is to use deceptively excessive descriptive adjectives. It's a physical imposibility for a passenger car to carry a ton, or 2,000 pounds, of anything without dragging ground.
Remember when we used to get Ds in comp for writing like this?
