Hampton Beach, one of the more well-known beach towns in New England, had already become a popular destination for area residents by the turn of the 20th century. Trolley lines and railroads to the beach were built in the mid 1800s. The famed Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom opened in 1899. On the Fourth of July 1898, massive crowds headed to the beach for holiday events. One of those events took place at a skating rink where a film was being shown. This rink would be completely destroyed by sunset that day.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
