Weed Town If you’ve ever heard of Adelanto, California, it’s probably because you caught it out of the corner of your eye as you were driving up the 15 on your way to Vegas. Or maybe you spent time in one of the town’s four prisons? Well, now Adelanto has a new claim to fame – one that has real estate developers lining up to buy land there. Last year, Adelanto became only the second city in the state to allow the commercial cultivation of medical marijuana, and things are looking up in this struggling high desert town. We hear from a city official about the changes.

The Business
In 'Speechless,' Scott Silveri combines comedy, family & disability Scott Silveri has written and produced sitcoms for more than 20 years. In all that time, he never encountered a TV family that looked anything like the one he grew up in -- with a mom, a dad...and a brother with cerebral palsy. He changed that with his show Speechless on ABC. Silveri tells us about looking to his own past for stories, and why he was determined to make a family comedy and not just a "disability show."
