Hooters Closes Another Location Amid Nationwide Shakedowns. Have you heard the latest from the Lone Star State? Hooters, the famous restaurant known for its wings and atmosphere, has just closed down another location, this time in Wichita Falls, Texas. It's a sign of the times, really, as the eatery had already closed 40 other restaurants earlier this year.

Boley, OK

This historic all-Black town, which is home to the nation's oldest Black rodeo, showcases its enduring impact and lively spirit at the 121st Boley Rodeo. When I visited my first historical all-Black town in April, someone asked the group I was with what we knew about Boley as we were on our way there. One person said they imagined it looking like an old town from a Western film. For me, the only reference I had to compare Boley to were images I’d seen from the past of Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I had no idea what this historically all-Black town would look like, but I knew it would be rich in history.

Things didn’t exactly end on the best of notes for Jeff Long and Bobby Petrino the last time they lived in Arkansas together. In April 2012, Long fired the most successful head coach the Arkansas football program has had in the SEC era for a laundry list of improprieties. At the top of them was having an affair with an athletic department employee he’d hired and then refusing to come clean about it with Jeff Long, the UA’s former athletic director. The embarrassing saga had all come to head in the wake of the most infamous motorcycle accident in college…

Growing up in Southwest Virginia, I heard adults say that the same people who welcomed Jesus on Palm Sunday were shouting "Crucify Him" less than a week later. We don't know if they were the same individuals, but the principal makes a point that unfortunately, General Hospital actress Tabyana Ali is experiencing.
