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.

There are times when local restaurants and businesses seem to vanish overnight. They close up shop with little warning and even less explanation. It can be a sad day for fans, especially when they roll up to the restaurant, expecting something tasty, only to discover they will never again be able to walk through the front doors (at least under the same ownership). That is exactly what happened late last week as a local restaurant and market here in Tucson closed its doors for the final time, without informing anyone, or even making an announcement on its social media.

In late August 2017, an abandoned vehicle was found on the ramp of the Eastbound I-26 highway in Summerville, South Carolina. When officers ran the plates of the red, four-door 2016 Mazda 6 from North Carolina, it came back to the roommate of 42-year-old Shawna Jones.

Often, supporters of OurBlackGirls will send over cases that have occurred in their hometowns, and someone did just that when they asked if I could feature Sonya Tukes. There has been minimal news coverage about her case over the years, and the last detailed report I could find came courtesy of Georgia's WMGT 41 News from 2016. The outlet spoke with the 22-year-old's family as they mapped out Sonya's last steps and speculated as to how she could have vanished in the middle of the night in 2004 without a trace.

For a case shrouded in such mystery, I have to say I'm disappointed in the lack of coverage of this case. However, of what could be found, the story of 45-year-oldTamara Bell-Walker and her husband, Corey Walker, leaves readers with more questions about what happened to the couple than answers.
