BONNIE AND CLYDE, which is playing at The Royal Theatre, 111 S Market St, in Benton, through this Sunday, April 28, was my most anticipated show that I’ve wanted to see for a few years now. Gangsters of the 20s excite me (I don’t know why), and Bonnie and Clyde were the sweethearts of the outlaw gangs. So, knowing that my buddy Dakota Mansfield was the Director, I already had my starry-heart eyes ready, and let me tell you, the gang at The Royal did not disappoint. With Music by Frank Wildhorn, Lyrics by Don Black, and Book by Ivan Mitchell, I was swept away with the tale and romance from the moment they took the stage.

The world has lost a ground breaking acting legend. On March 29th, 2024, Louis Gossett Jr. passed away in Santa Monica, California. He was 87 years old. Gossett Jr. was born in 1936 in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York. After obtaining a sports injury at age 17, he was encouraged to participate in a school play. Not long afterwards, he was encouraged to try out for a Broadway play. The rest, as they say, was history.

Flour, Eggs and Yeast

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.

Cleveland, OH. An Ohio man who killed his sister, her husband, and unborn niece was sentenced today in the Courtroom of Cuyahoga County Judge Rick Bell.

Twenty-two years ago, Robert Ray Courtney (Inmate Register #14636-045) was convicted of diluting chemotherapy drugs for more than 4,000 patients. It's been recently reported he will be released from prison this summer to a halfway house. Victims and families of victims are most likely disappointed and furious and understandably so.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.
