Spiral Starecase – More Today Than Yesterday – [STEREO]

From Sacramento California, Here Is Some Of The Finest Late 60’s AM Radio Pop By The “Spiral Staircase”. Originally A #12 Hit Single Recorded For Columbia Records In 1969…..This Featured Version Is From A Re-Issue On The “Solid Rock” Label That I Think Delivers A Better Overall Sound Quality Than The Original Pressing. The Original Was A Bit “Muddy” Sounding While The Re-Issue Has Better Mids, Highs & Presence…….I misspelled “Staircase” as “Staircase” in the video’s closing title. Oops! Hear this great song on internet radio kvkvi.com

An Intruder Just Broke Into Their House And Watched Them Sleep For Over 10 Minutes

Are you paranoid about making sure that your windows and doors are securely locked at all times to prevent unwelcome strangers? Well, if you’re not already, you will be after you watch this video. It’s from a surveillance camera inside the Chicago home of Jordan Buranskas and her boyfriend, Jack Mackercher.

The footage shows a creepy man in a white hoodie standing at the top of the stairs, watching the couple while they slept on the couch. To say it’s unsettling would be an understatement.

He’s the ultimate creep.

(via Elite Daily)

The scariest part is that they only noticed this guy while reviewing the footage trying to figure out where Jordan’s purse went (which he did, in fact, steal). If he hadn’t taken anything, they would never have known that he was there.

“Mr. Cub,” Chicago Baseball Legend Ernie Banks, Dies At 83

Ernie Banks, a legendary home run hitter and the first black baseball player on the Chicago Cubs, died Friday.


Banks joined the Cubs in 1953 and went on to earn the nickname “Mr. Cub.” His career was marked by an array of successes over 19 seasons: he hit 512 home runs and 1,636 RBIs; he was an 11-time all star; and in 1977, he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Banks still holds Cubs records for the number games played and at-bats, among other things, ESPN reported. He also still holds the record for the second most home runs in Cubs history.

As the first black player on the Cubs, Banks was also a pioneer at a time when Baseball was still a predominately white sport.


Prior to joining the MLB, he played in the Negro leagues, joining the Kansas City Monarchs in 1950. He later spent two years in the army before joining the Cubs.

Banks grew to become a beloved figure in Chicago and elsewhere.


Among other things, he was known for his “sunny disposition,” the Chicago Tribune reported Friday. In 2013, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama.

Banks’ death was confirmed by his wife and the Cubs.

Chicago’s Wrigley Field displayed a tribute to Banks Friday on its marquee:

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel posted a tribute to Banks on Facebook calling him “one of Chicago’s greatest ambassadors.”


Ernie Banks was more than a baseball player. He was one of Chicago’s greatest ambassadors. He loved this city as much as he loved — and lived for — the game of baseball. This year, during every Cubs game, you can bet that No.14 will be watching over his team. And if we’re lucky, it’ll be a beautiful day for not just one ballgame, but two. My deepest sympathy to his wife, Liz, family, and friends.

Fans took to social media Friday to mourn Banks’ death, many of them using his catchphrase, “Let’s Play Two.”

So long, Ernie. I never met you, but the excitement and positivity you brought to the game was unparalleled. #ErnieBanks #LetsPlayTwo
