And she was a wonderful model!

And the comments are actually mostly sane. Ultimately the only people who lose are her staff because most people will probably only pay the forced 15% and not a cent more. That’s what you get for trying to double-dip.

For those who don't know, Citi Trends is a discount clothing chain, and there is a location in Jackson, GA (the real-life downtown Hawkins).

I imagine this was an unintentional cameo, because the brand Citi Trends did not exist until 2000.

Even though it took Greensboro almost three months to respond to this FOIA request.

Despite large growth across Virginia, Sheetz has been notably absent from Hampton Roads... until now. Multiple announcements have been made for stores planned in Gloucester, Smithfield, Yorktown, and Williamsburg... however, this store (at 1517 Holland Road in Suffolk) has been sprouting up without any media attention; and unlike the stores that have been formally announced, this store is actually being built. According to Sheetz on Facebook (when they replied to me), they said this store is planned to open in September.

What's interesting is that it appears that this store won't have a drive thru. I would've thought that would be standard by now. Perhaps the lot was too small, or zoning wouldn't permit it? Not sure... although, I am ready for my 2/$1.00 hot dogs!

For those of us Sheetz Freak transplants, the Sheetz at 1517 Holland Road in Suffolk is really taking shape... and the new doors look really nice!

Looks like Panera is upgrading their cold drink cups and lids... the new cups are a lot simpler, and the lids are a million times better than the crappy replacements for the Dart lids (they don't strangle the straw and they don't leak nearly as much). I remember a couple of years ago when there was a storm cloud of them potentially reducing the size of the large drink cups, but these are still 30oz.

I had to get one… and the employee administering them said they were going fast.

This is the Arby's at 5205 Brook Rd, Richmond, VA. While the restaurant itself was extensively renovated, they kept the (little) Big Hat sign.

All of the Arby's in and around Richmond are franchised through a local company called The Restaurant Company, and in my opinion, they operate some of the best Arby's locations in the country. They also own the world's largest Arby's.

Garden Ridge was the predecessor to At Home. Their color used to be red, and you can see some remnants around the store. Not much else, as it's pretty much just a warehouse... but the roof is pretty cool.

Remember when the DoD called the Netflix series Boots "woke garbage"? Guess they don't feel that way anymore, because they used screenshots from it to promote themselves.

This is the progress of the future Sheetz store which replaced the Rite Aid at 1157 Holland Road in Suffolk.

What's interesting to me is that there was a lot of media attention surrounding the announcements of the stores in Gloucester, Smithfield, and Yorktown; however, there has been no news about this one, and this one appears to be the only one actually being built (and it's popped up like a weed).

Who is ready to #FeelTheLove and celebrate with 2/$1.00 hot dogs* and 88 octane gas (which is cheaper)?

^(*But you've gotta get a Sheetz Card first.)

I've had an IKEA Klabb lamp for ~10 years, and the shade has definitely seen better days. Does anyone know where I can source a replacement shade (or one similar to it?) It looks like the closest lamp that IKEA currently sells to this (albeit it looks like they're clearancing it out) is the Tomeilla lamp, which looks like it would have a compatible shade. I could buy an entire lamp, but that would defeat the purpose. The shade itself measures 9.5x5x8".

TIA!
