Cape Codder here, too. Shaw’s is hit or miss in this area... the Harwich one is relatively new and nice, as is the Orleans location. Yarmouth is fairly new so that one is probably okay (although I’ve never been inside). Both Hyannis Shaws are gross and run down though.

Is that 2 billion in NET profit or GROSS profit?  Can you provide a link to their financials? I tried to find it myself the other day but I couldn’t find any information more recent than 2017... 

There’s an old saying, “It’s good to save money in buinsess but you CAN save yourself right out of business.”

Good for Lincoln. This makes me very happy and it seems like they’re making all of the right moves.

Nah, Kermit was a darker shade with more saturation.

The only positive from this is that maybe the technology could be expanded to allow Elon Musk to create a series of punny, entertaining signs for people on their way to colonize the red planet, spaced out every few hundred thousand miles...

This is an absolutely terrible idea for a number of reasons...

And if Wrigley Field DID fall into a sinkhole, it would happen while hosting Game 7 of the World Series with the Cubs being one out away from another win, proving once more that 2016 was a fluke and that they’ll continually find new ways to disappoint us. (But seriously, you’re right...)

I agree. But I wonder if the people at the time thought the Colosseum was anything special aside from just being very large? It’s funny how age can change peoples’ perspectives on the style of a building.

Great suggestion!

I’m glad Wrigley is still there, but it’s still there in much the same way the old Yankee Stadium was “still there” before they eventually replaced it. Not a whole lot is left of the original park after all of the extensive renovations over the past few years... hopefully it retains some of its magic feel though. I…

The Colosseum in Rome is a marvel and a special place to visit, and at the time it was “just a sporting arena” where people gathered to sometimes watch other human beings get maimed for their entertainment.  So, much like a modern football stadium...

This the most well-written, succinct, clear view on the capitalism vs. socialism debate that I’ve ever read. I feel like I’ve just read something that I’m still going to recall and share decades from now.

I’m not a very religious person at all, but I appreciate all of the art, architecture and the history that exists because of it. So much of it is beautiful, and special, and reminds me of the lasting effects of dedication to something you see as larger than yourself like so many of the artists, artisans and craftsmen…

Someone will probably offer up better suggestions, but I can think of two relatively recent buildings in the U.S. that were designed to convey senses of importance, permanence and grandeur. One is the original Penn Station in Manhattan and the other is the New York Public Library on 5th Ave. Both were built in the…

That opens up the possibility of them giving it a name other than Playstation 5... “Playstation Silver”? “Playstation 25" or “Playstation XXV”? Or maybe they’ll just release a special “Anniversary Edition” that has a selection of classic games pre-loaded....

They could do that, but only if they changed the business model and went to a lease-to-own type of setup like we have with smartphones. Prices of those have ballooned, but Apple still sells plenty of $700-800 (even $1,000) phones every year because so many people only look at it as $35-40/month.

Auto shows are great.  I always enjoyed the NY show (and have many fond memories from going as a kid) but sad I won’t get there this year.  Glad I got to the Chicago show though, which was my first time there and was HUGE.  Great fun and it’s nice to get a close look at the vehicles without having to deal with a pushy…

True, they haven’t produced a single vehicle for sale yet, but personally there are a number of reasons I’m excited for them.

This is a very good question. Hopefully their using the Cayenne and Land Rover as benchmark vehicles means it at least won’t have low rolling resistance tires as OEM but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
