May 5th, 2009 at 10:43 am by Mark Allen under Mark Allen's Blog

Things will probably be slow-going at first. I think it will really get interesting tonight.

My first night sleeping on the streets of Terre Haute will be an experience, to say the least. I’m make sure to have video and pictures.

If you’re not already on Twitter, join and follow me at @Mark_News10. I’m be able to update that a lot more than the blog. Producers are also going to try to keep the Facebook updated too.


Is Homeless

May 5th, 2009 at 9:14 am by Mark Allen under Mark Allen's Blog

Today’s the day. For the next  four days, I’ll be living on the streets.

I’ve got my laptop, camera and sleeping bag. My backpack weighs 28 pounds because of all the gear. Who knows, I might end up losing 28 pounds in the process.


12 days and counting until im homeless for four days. watch for it on wthitv.com and newsten
