USATODAY.com - Anheuser-Busch buys Rolling Rock beer brand

This story caught my eye, since I grew up in Latrobe. It raises my eyebrow, since they bought the rights to Rolling Rock, but haven't yet bought the brewery in Latrobe. I know that if they don't, and it closes down, an awful lot of people will lose their jobs in Latrobe, and the city will go down the tubes (probably not being a city any longer). While I'm not sure how I feel about Rolling Rock being acquired by Anheuser-Busch, I hope they also get the brewery, or that it will still be able to brew Rolling Rock, anyhow, just so the people involved (some of whom I know personally) are able to continue living normally.
