It appears that a struggling chain may have recieved a desperately needed lifeline. The restaurant industry has been in a tailspin since covid, especially in the casual dining and bars segment. Many major chains have been heavily discounting food and drink in order to bring people in. Recently TGI Fridays has $5 Happy Hours and appears to be doubling down on the bar scene again. Some of the chains also have gone above and beyond lowering margins and in some cases quality to keep the lights on. With this latest move, it seems that the single bar scene may have new life, we learned one of the world’s largest casual dining companies that proudly serves guests with over 850 restaurants in more than 55 countries was about to be taken over.

You’ll never guess which state just took action to consider funding sober homeless housing: None other the nation’s liberal left coast. If that’s not surprising enough, it’s a Democrat who is sponsoring the bill. California Assembly member Matt Haney of San Francisco wants drug-free housing projects to be able to compete for state money. Right now, those receiving funds must adhere to a “Housing First” philosophy and not turn anyone away for not being sober.

Living at Fusion Studios, 3737 Quebec, can be a total nightmare at times. The past week has been awful. My neighbor delights in turning up his stereo as loud as it will go, making the walls shake and disrupting the entire floor.

In recent years, many monuments have been vandalized, mocked, and in need of protection due to civil unrest about their meaning and representation. There once was a tall Civil War Monument in the front entry of the Colorado State Capitol building. What happened to that monument and why was it removed?

It's hard to tell if it's true or false without personal experience, or at least whether someone in a family's long history line was treated with one of these stones.
