I would have spent a lot of money on LPs and clove cigarettes to woo a girl like that back in the day.

Oh, yeah, *HE’S* the guy who ruined them.

One observation about this list - many of the cities listed have a strong HBCU presence either in the town or in the state : Howard in DC, Morgan and Coppin in Baltimore, Texas Southern in Houston, Morehouse in Atlanta, Johnson Smith in Charlotte, Fayetteville, NCAT, etc....; and there’s just not many north of the…

That seems about right for books at Alabama. You can buy some used, and not all of them have been colored in yet.

YESSSSS that video was Stepford Wives level scary

YESSSSSS - I work between Maryland/NY and Boston, and Kelly’s is legit. Best el cheapo surf-and-turf around!

The new Roy Rogers restaurants are not owned by the same company as the previous Roy’s from the pre-1990s era. Hardee’s bought the original Roy’s. The new Roy’s has been growing from the Frederick, Maryland area and expanding outward for a few years now.

The roast beef at Roy’s is actually way better than it used to…

Which would be closed during many of the home games, no? I don’t know if they do a roller-coaster-only type of season there.

I moved to Iowa in 1998 after spending my first 25 years in the Baltimore/DC area. It absolutely boggled my mind to see dirt roads within a city grid before. I could understand 40, 50 miles away out in the boonies, but there were farms and dirt roads within the city limits.

If the Ferentz family wanted privacy, why…

He was just going for the 6"th Man Award

So... Arizona didn’t find any evidence of sexual assault, even after he fucked West Virginia and Michigan?

Or...let’s put it this way : Look over your entire dating history, and the incredibly hot young girlfriend rocks your world in the sack for 3 months, and then leaves you for a job overseas for a year. She will come back - eventually - but she may not be the same when she does. She may stay overseas another year.…

In Maryland, Ledo Pizza has been cutting pizzas square “Because Ledo Pizza never cuts corners” since the 1950s.

Slow your roll, South Canadians.

So. Much. Denim.

You’re the spiritual kin of those sickos who used to go to the Olsen Twins/Lindsay Lohan/Hillary Duff “Countdown to 18" websites years ago.

You know, I would think that sort of thing would be Federal Standard by now. 18 *BOOM* or *16* if the creepy states want it or split the difference and be 17 or whatever. This seems like something that should be standard, like drinking or voting.

When I moved to Iowa in my mid-20s, one of my new coworkers was getting…

Exactly what I was thinking. I love football, but this game is hard to stomach.

That’s what I thought. Iowa was something like 97% white when I lived there, and Des Moines was 85%-90% white. That’s not a lot of minorities to split between Black folks, Natives, Hispanics, Asians... I’m not sure if there’s any decent-sized city with less minority population than Des Moines in the US.

I think so much of it is simply historical cycles coming back - every group yells at the next group. Happened here on the East Coast. The Irish at the Italians, the Italians at the Greeks, Greeks at the Poles... “oh god, not the Chinese!” “Not the Jews!” “Well, at least they have food but the Indians are taking over…

There was an article about a decade or so ago about a doctor at Spencer, Iowa’s hospital. I read it online, so it could have been the DM Register, but I thought it was from a more national site. Anyway... the one doctor was well into his senior years, a native of the area, and had wanted to retire years ago, but due…
