Historic Friendship Baptist gave Brenda Wood cause to lose her cool
The poised news anchor reserved choice words for Friendship over failure to fix A/C in its senior hi-rise
Well-known 11 Alive news anchor Brenda Wood has been exuding her cool, classy demeanor on the station’s evening broadcasts for years. But she went from poised to pissed in a sharply worded commentary this week. And what could make the queen of local broadcast news lose her cool? Friendship Baptist Church’s failure to repair the air conditioning unit in its senior hi-rise Friendship Towers after months of complaints and an emergency hearing.
?
? This is the same Friendship, she points out during her regularly recurring “Brenda’s Last Word” segment, that used media pressure and Atlanta’s sympathy to garner $19.5 million in its deal with the city before forking over its former historic church grounds for the future Atlanta Falcons stadium. Not only does she point out the church’s hypocrisy, she demands they do the right thing and “fix it already!”
?
? Hard to argue with that. Especially coming from Brenda Wood.
