Marcus Leshock checks out the latest in roller coasters, theme parks, trending news, feature stories and more - Chicago and beyond!
About me:
I'm an anchor/reporter on the WGN-TV Morning News in Chicago. You can see me every weekday from 4-10am delivering the top Trending News of the day.
When I'm not in the studio, I'm often out traveling the country for my COASTIN' THE COUNTRY series - riding the world's biggest and baddest roller coasters, telling the stories of the people who build and maintain them, and just checking out the best theme parks have to offer. Look for all of that content to be posted right here on this channel.
I also put together a ton of interesting features on the people, places and things that make Chicago special. I'll be uploading plenty of those stories here, too.
Be sure to follow all of my adventures and see even MORE trending news stories on my website at MarcusLeshock.com
