Falcons Sign Kyle Pitts to Record Extension

Atlanta Falcons Reportedly Sign TE Kyle Pitts to Record-Breaking Extension

The Atlanta Falcons signed tight end Kyle Pitts to a record-breaking contract extension.

Full Story on NBot

F.W. Woolworth ran lunch counters inside its five-and-dime stores for decades, and by the mid-1950s those counters were a fixture of downtown shopping in cities and small towns across the country. You sat on a round spinning stool, ordered off a laminated card clipped above the counter, and got a full hot plate for right around fifty cents. The food came fast because the cooks had made it a hundred times that week, and the chain was still running close to two thousand of these counters as late as 1964.

7 First-Apartment Dishes Newlyweds Made in the 1950s and 1960s

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. The kitchen in a first apartment circa 1955 was often a single wall of cabinets, a small gas stove, and a refrigerator that barely held a week's worth of groceries. Young couples married in their early twenties, set up housekeeping on one salary, and figured out dinner mostly by instinct. Cookbooks helped some. Neighbors helped more. The other resource was whatever cost the least at the A&P that week.

Southeast Pennsylvania & Delaware under flood watches overnight into Sunday morning for heavy rain

Today is definitely the better of the two weekend days. We have flood watches that are posted for tonight into Sunday morning. Tropical moisture is on its way back northward and an upper air disturbance running ahead of a cold front will bring rain overnight into Sunday morning. You can expect rainfall amounts running in the range of 3/4 inch to an inch but given the tropical nature of the air mass and the risk of some convection in the mix, some areas could see double those amounts.

7 After-Funeral Dishes Neighbors Brought Without Being Asked

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. When somebody in a neighborhood loses a person they love, the food shows up fast. Not ordered food, not catered food - someone's own pan, still warm from their own oven, left on the porch or handed through the screen door with barely a word. It happens before the family has thought about eating. It happens before anyone has had to ask. In churches, in small towns, in apartment buildings where people know each other well enough to notice when a hearse was parked outside, this is how the community speaks.
