Many people have a severe aversion to roaches. And unfortunately, according to a study from Purdue University published in 2019, roaches have evolved to resist insecticides. Although one might assume that the nation's biggest cities are the biggest culprits for roaches, according to a recent study, Florida's cities are not immune to the problem.

Luck, whether owners want to admit it or not, plays a part in the eventual success or failure of a restaurant. This is especially the case when first starting out. A new restaurant can have excellent food, a prime location, and even quality marketing, but if luck isn’t on its side, the business will not survive. Sadly, that seems to be what has happened with one local restaurant, which officially closed up shop last week. While fans and patrons are holding out hope the business does return, as of today, the Phoenix establishment is no more after less than a year after opening (although it has left the door open for a possible return).

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.

The average person never thinks the bad things they read in the news will ever happen to them, that is, unless they have been a victim of crime themselves.
