According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

Many believe the cryptid Ozark Howler is simply a folk monster like Momo. The Ozark Howler has been brought forward in oral traditions as a creature of the Ozark Mountains. The Ozark Mountains span parts of Missouri and Arkansas and have been home to this legendary creature that has captured the imagination of many. This elusive animal has been described as a large, black, and shaggy creature. Some say it looks like a very large cat. It's also been reported in numerous sightings, stories of which have been passed down through generations. Many wonder if the Ozark Howler is a real creature or simply a myth.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

This is the type of story I didn’t think I’d ever write. The type of trite, petulant editorializing about the quality of baseball I’m watching. After all, my profession is watching and following baseball. Even on my worst days it beats 40+ hours a week in an office.

Just two games into the College World Series, history has already been made. Christian Moore became only the second player in CWS history to hit for the cycle. He did it in as clean a path as possible. He tripled in his first at-bat, doubled in his second, singled in his third and hit a mammoth home run to straight center field in his fourth plate appearance of the night.

By the end of the year, the owners of Kentucky Speedway will have paid Gallatin County more than $900,000 for tickets never sold to races never run. NASCAR abandoned the racetrack following the 2020 Quaker State 400, but a 20-year PILOT agreement (Payments In Lieu Of Taxes) obligates Speedway Motorsports Inc. to two annual payments through 2031: a $180,000 lump sum and a $1 per ticket fee with a $230,000 minimum, even if the venue remains vacant.
