  1. Pouring all of this money into operation Breakthrough and those people get free babysitting...but the funny thing is, they all pick up their kids in brand new Cadillac's, BMW's, Volvo's, and other types, but they are all new cars.

  7. Plaza--
    “It's important to always be careful to change it up a little bit, and to make sure that your center stays unique and different and changeable because it's a sign of a healthy retail center when you see constant change,” said Meredith Keeler, general manager of the Plaza.

    Healthy for you but not healthy for the retailers.

    Soon you will run out of retailers...

    Unique and different, not, you are falling into a hole, same shops everywhere now.

  9. Holy shiite, LaJon lives in the OP? That's cool. First heard of Sevendust in East STL at Pops. Some band had gone up on stage and were rocking pretty hard. I was surprised AF (to borrow a term from the kids) that the lead singer was a dreadlocked black dude. They're fun to see in concert. I wonder if I can still go, all gray-headed now.
