Victory church pastor Rodney Locklear has been indicted. The Richmond Times Dispatch reports that a Virginia church has closed its doors, but not for the same reasons other congregations in the Commonwealth have been shuttered. It was not a declining or aging congregation or financial matters. Victory church has ceased to exist because the pastor has been accused of s$x crimes against a minor and now faces six additional charges.

“We have no idea where we are going, when we are going or if we will have housing or need to return to the buses [at the landing zone]”. [ORIGINAL STORY] Migrants in the Standard Club shelter on S. Plymouth are living hour to hour as the information they are giving changes. Children are told to keep their toys in their bags and to take only one out to play with, something easy to pack quickly if needed. They are all on edge as the city decides what to do with their group, having received information and instructions that seems to be ever-changing and to provide no details about what’s to happen to them.

Grabbing a donut, muffin, bagel, or coffee on your way to or from work can be a nice way to give yourself a sweet treat or pick me up without spending much money. Unfortunately, a Florida restaurant in this genre was recently closed down. I frequently write about restaurant closures, and I can honestly say that I have never seen a violation like the one that caused the closure.

It's not unusual for old Florida buildings like Kmart and Golden Coral to be demolished to be repurposed for other things. And now, a Florida Burger King has been torn down for a somewhat surprising downsizing reason.

After writing about Florida's restaurants for some time, I've come to believe that, although Floridians want excellent food for a reasonable price, they're not exactly picky about where that food comes from.

It's no secret that Publix has both been expanding in Florida and upgrading and refurbishing its older stores to have more modern designs and additional amenities. Some refurbished stores are similar to the old stores that they replaced and others look completely different. One Florida Publix will have little resemblance to the 1960s store it is replacing - because it will be 3 stories.

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.

Many people have lost faith in the news and question truth from all comers. The idea of a universal truth, outside of the sky being blue and that one plus one equals two, seems to be more and more elusive. One thing that everyone can agree on, however, is that cats are the world's greatest pets. Dogs are fine, sure, but they aren't cats. Fish are kind of fun to look at...for like five minutes. Cats though? No fact check needed. They're the best.
