The culmination of a several-month-long narcotics investigation started in April 2023, headed by a detective in the Olmsted County Sheriff's Office and a Southeast Minnesota Violent Crime Enforcement Team member. The final result was the arrest of Teresa Arellano of Eagan, Minnesota, and Eliseo Romo of St Paul, Minnesota, who both were charged with four separate felonies and the seizure of 17.196 pounds of methamphetamine and 13,500 pills of Oxycodone.

There's arguably much to like about eating at a buffet restaurant. You don't have to choose just one item, you get to try many different things, and if you are going to embrace "all you can eat," then a buffet can be economical.

I often write about both Florida and about warehouse clubs like Costco and I find that, for some readers, the two are a winning combination. Many of the articles I've written about Costo receive comments from people wishing their Florida city would get a Costco.

The Lantern

The last few years have been tough on food establishments with the Covid-19 pandemic. The Lantern has announced countless restaurant closings across South Carolina in 2023. Unfortunately, another popular eatery will close its doors eighty years after it first opened. Many may be familiar with the famous, iconic big orange sign on South Pleasantburg Drive near the old McAlister Square and Greenville Tech in Greenville, South Carolina. News broke online earlier this week announcing the closure, which left many shocked, with support pouring in for the longtime business. John Allen Zeller posted on Facebook, “Christmas 2023 will bring to a finale the 80 years of Tanner’s Big Orange serving Holiday punch to Greenville.” Jackie Waldrop commented on the same post, “Guess you will be staying home now, John. Hate that the icon is closing down. It will always be remembered as the best place in town to sit in Main Street or under the canopy and have a sandwich and an orange juice.”

Denver, CO

I’m sure people wonder why anyone would want to live in a street encampment. It’s filthy, noisy, drug-ridden, and dangerous. Right?. It’s not always that way. I lived in an encampment directly across the street from the Salvation Army Crossroads homeless shelter. I was banned from the shelter for 30 days for smoking my medical cannabis outside, which I did not know was forbidden. That didn’t seem possible based on alll the other people who did it and never got into trouble. When I got thrown out of Crossroads, I went outside and never went back inside. That is, until the police arrested me, and I ended up at Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo, and then later, Fusion Studios, where I live now.
