I would never try to claim that Florida is known for its chicken wings in the way that New York is. However, Florida does have some eateries that are appreciated for their wings. Examples are Bethune Grill in Daytona Beach and Wing King in Tampa. However, for those who want a predictable experience, there are always chains like Beef O'Brady's and Wingstop. Unfortunately, one store of the latter, in Sanford, was recently temporarily shut down after a state inspection.

A woman who owns a multimillion-dollar property on the shores of Laguna Beach in California has unleashed on a family sitting on the sand in front of her home.

The public beach area butts up against what is apparently her property, which the property owner had sectioned off with rope and stakes.

In the video, which was shared on social media and has been viewed almost 400k times, the family can be seen awkwardly walking away from their spot on the sand after the woman started screaming and swearing in their direction.

“Get outta here now,” the woman screams, as she rolls out more white...

History Facts lists eight names US parents no longer give their newborns, which you may no longer hear in Virginia. The girls' names are Doris, Gertrude, Mildred, and Judith. I know or have known women with all four names, but they are either baby boomers or boomer parents' ages and someone's grandma or great aunt. Consider the ages of females in Virginia you know with these names.

Hotel rooms, especially the fancy ones, always seem so inviting. Those fluffy pillows and high-thread-count sheets make you want to dive onto the bed the moment you open the door. At first glance, these rooms look spotless, but shockingly, they're dirtier than they look. And you won't find the germiest item in the bathroom. That honor goes to one of the first objects you touch when you walk in: the light switch.
