It’s been almost a month since the last ARCA Menards West Series race. A race contested on the Sonoma road track in California and won by Sam Mayer and Sigma performance Services.

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.

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.

Vanishing Georgia

Though plain enough to be considered vernacular, this house has Victorian sensibilities and therefore I’d consider it a transitional Folk Victorian. It’s actually quite imposing and set beautifully back on a large lot in the small residential section of Metcalfe. It was identified as the Lanier House in the 1977 nomination of the Metcalfe Historic […]

According to an historic marker placed by the Basford family in 2008, this vernacular Greek Revival cottage was built circa 1858 by Randolph Avera.

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.
