What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorVera, we have team coverage tonight from the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, which is hosting its Boo at the Zoo Halloween celebration, and OBA News has the details.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTeam coverage. Of a zoo.

  3. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOur live map shows the entire zoo, and I'm told the red zone is anywhere a child is dressed as a banana.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe map is a napkin, Chip, and I can see a coffee ring over the flamingos.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat coffee ring is the flamingos' official position, and they are not budging.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI would like to see the whole map, please, and not just the napkin.

  7. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOf course. Every enclosure is a swing state, and the only place with a line out the door is the gift shop.
