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. There is nothing online about Sarpy's status, and Y&R spoilers for next week do not mention the character, so fans wonder if she has been let go.

On July 25, 2017, the Portland Trail Blazers traded Allen Crabbe to the Brooklyn Nets. In exchange, they received Andrew Nicholson. Nicholson didn't play a single game with the Blazers, as he was waived shortly after. Portland decided to use the stretch provision on Nicholson's contract. Instead of owing him the three years, $20 million remaining on his contract, the Blazers wanted to take on less luxury tax ramifications, stretching out the deal for $2.8 million annually over seven years. They are finally free of the contract!

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.
