When you go to the grocery store you’re looking for quality products and affordable prices. You’re probably not considering how the shop performed on its previous health inspection. After all, it isn’t preparing food in the same way as local restaurants. However, grocery stores go through the same health and quality control inspections as restaurants in the community as well. One local grocery store in metro Phoenix has an attached restaurant. This restaurant performed poorly enough to receive a D grade on its inspection (despite the grocery store passing the same inspection).

Dogs and cats that were beaten, burned, tied up and left to die have a second chance at life -- this time a good one, thanks to PAWS Chicago. Nearly 80 animals who had suffered were about to be euthanized at a Carribbean shelter in Dominica when PAWS stepped in to help.

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. This is a lesson a Salem, OR mom learned the hard way when she left her car running with her two children inside while she went into a convenience store in the early hours on Nov. 8.

The pandemic brought about restaurant staffing shortages for understandable reasons. With lockdowns and quarantines, it wasn't always business as usual. However, according to Open Table, the restaurant industry is still experiencing staffing difficulties - even three years after the pandemic.

The friends lived in the same Berkshire Apartments complex in Winter Haven, Florida, but Charles's car broke down while out. He had to walk home but stopped by Christina's apartment to ask if he could borrow her vehicle. This was the last time anyone saw Christina Voltaire since that day.

The Padres and Jung Hoo Lee are a perfect match for each other this winter. With the trade of Juan Soto, the San Diego Padres need outfield production for the 2024 season. In the trade with the Yankees, the Padres also sent their starting center fielder to New York. Trent Grisham is gone, and Jose Azocar is the only rostered player with experience in the middle outfield position. The team could move Fernando Tatis Jr. to center, but they are more likely to sign or trade an outfielder for the job.

Jung Hoo Lee and Padres are a perfect fit
