It's good to see so many people hitting the streets to rally behind something so important. On Sunday, approximately 100 people gathered in Montgomery, Alabama to hold a candlelight vigil .

Approximately 100 people gathered in Alabama on Sunday to hold a candlelight vigil . . . for a Taco Bell that burned down last week.  The owners say they were, quote, "overwhelmed" by the vigil and they're planning to rebuild.

They gathered in the Arby's parking lot, next to where the Taco Bell used to stand. They held candles, there was a musical performance, and everyone talked about how the other restaurants in the area couldn't meet their needs.

One woman said, quote, "Waffle House is open, but if you really want to get full, you've got to have 10 dollars . . . [and] sometimes they're out of waffles.  Taco Bell, they're never out of tortillas."

Fortunately, no one was hurt when the Taco Bell burned down.  The owners say they were, quote, "overwhelmed" by the vigil and they're planning to rebuild and reopen as soon as possible.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
