They say that change is inevitable, but sometimes it is also difficult when you lose access to an eatery that you've enjoyed for many years. For some Floridians, long-standing restaurants and ice cream or hot dog stands are signs of a time gone by that has wonderful memories, and few people want to lose them.

When a bus from Texas dropped off some migrants Monday morning in front of the Colorado Capitol, Evan Dreyer from the mayor’s office blasted the atrocity. “These are folks who have come from the Texas border after long journeys, and they are not prepared for cold weather,” Dreyer told the Denver Post. “And to drop them off like that, just randomly, in the cold — in the freezing cold — is inhumane, dangerous and it puts their lives at risk. It’s shameful.”
