Big Lots Shutting Down Stores Amid Financial Uncertainty
Big Lots is planning to shutter around 40 stores as the company opens up about their ability to continue. I've been shopping at Big Lots for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I could spend hours in the toy aisle, and even as a teenager, I spent quite a bit of time thumbing through the DVD and Blu-ray selections. My wife and I still shop at Big Lots on a regular basis today. It's safe to say that it's one of my all-time favorite stores. Need groceries? Done. Kitchenware? Easy. How about some furniture? They've got all kinds of options out on the floor.

This Kentucky Historic Victorian Mansion is a Literal Dream and it’s on The Market
This historic home is outside of my tax bracket, but it's quite incredible. I have always thought it would be amazing to live in a historic home. Imagine living in a place with so much character, and a lot of history. If only walls could talk! It would be fascinating to hear some of the stories of things that happened within the walls of historic homes. Not to mention historic homes hold so much character and charm. A stunning Victorian-style home in Louisville recently hit the market, and even though it is way out of my budget (let's be real, it's out of my whole tax bracket) the photos have me drooling.
