The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

I’ve driven a few impressive electric vehicles since delving into automotive writing a decade ago, but the car I own operates on fuel. All of the Black women in my life still buy gas. And while we all want to have a positive impact on the environment more than ever, no one I know personally has taken the leap.

Could A Trip In The Newest SUV From Rivian Finally Make Me An EV Girl?
