Virginia fans of The Young and the Restless have asked where Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) has been. She has not been seen or mentioned in Genoa City for quite a while.

The barrier stopped cars from going down the road connecting two small Maryland towns just north of Washington, D.C. But it also made clear the danger for residents of the historically Black town of North Brentwood if they crossed the border into majority-white Brentwood, a "sundown town" where they would be at risk of violence after dark.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now.

We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
