I showed up to Spencer‘s Corner on a slow Tuesday night to work a boring shift…
I asked the manager who was playing that night, he said:
some Dallas guitar player with three names…
So me and about 30 other people watched him do this song…
It was a very memorable slow Tuesday night
This is Avenue B Grocery. Same Austin neighborhood since 1909.
Building it today would be illegal.
We didn't lose corner stores to the market. We killed them with zoning.
The CORNER Act (draft model legislation) legalizes small neighborhood businesses, by right. 🧵
Remarkable: A man, over two decades, got all 792 cards in Topps’ 1987 set signed — including every player on every checklist.
Favorite auto? Tim Pyznarski, a Future Star who played in only 15 games.
He sold the set last night on eBay.
On this day in 2006, we released the Here It Goes Again music video. This video cost less than $5,000 and was shot in 17 very sweaty takes, but it took us to the Grammys, the VMAs, and to the email inboxes of millions of people (you couldn’t share videos to social media back then).
20 years later, we actually now can share this to social media. Enjoy!
🔥 HELL YEAH! A pilot just used his airplane to draw a USA 250th banner using his flight path
It took him over FIVE HOURS of flying time to do this.
What a PATRIOT! 🇺🇸
"WE'RE GOING TO WALMART"
FOX 4 viewer zekey says he and his dad were headed to the Arlington Walmart to buy some Australia shirts when a crowd of Aussies marched into the store.
@FreddyLA7 Definitely Grand Canyon if out west. Yosemite National Park in Northern California is fantastic.
Pittsburgh, PA (go see Falling Water house). Jefferson’s Monticello if in northern Virginia. Biltmore mansion in Asheville, NC & Smokey Mountains. Charleston, SC
If the cause of the Ethiopian famine had been a right-wing regime, it would probably be in every school curriculum alongside Live Aid.
The famine that produced the most-watched concert in history was caused by forced collectivization, forced grain seizures, and a deliberate policy of using hunger as a weapon against civilians. Four decades later, that half of the story still does not appear in most accounts of Live Aid.
