Each State has its own Replica Liberty Bell

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: in 1950 the Treasury commissioned 2,080-pound Liberty Bell replicas for each state as part of a savings bond drive—cast in France with matching markings and a fake crack—touring on flatbed Ford trucks before being given to states; bell hunter Tom has tracked down 40 via tomlovesthelibertybells.com, while the Washington, DC bell has been missing since the early ’80s. Scientists developed a hemp-based plastic alternative that can stretch up to 1,600% and withstand boiling water. Albany, NY is trying to protect its 28-foot, four-ton RCA “Nipper” dog statue atop a long-unused warehouse by adding it to historic landmarks. In Singapore, a teen was charged after licking and returning a vending-machine straw, prompting upgrades to individually packaged straws. In Saskatchewan, tow truck driver Clint rescued a moose frozen in lake ice and it recovered overnight.5 Good News Stories is a daily podcast with five positive, uplifting news stories to brighten your day.
