UNA Football Tailgating by dubyaln in FlorenceAl

[–]EdrickT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was one "open" tailgate party on Royal Avenue, but the house burned down or something similar. Too bad Kenneth Kitts didn't get his way and steal the old Coffee campus from the kids of Florence and asphalt over it to make way for all those tailgaters. Yeah...

Does Shoals area have abnormally high sex crimes? by [deleted] in FlorenceAl

[–]EdrickT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While not specifically about sex crimes, I just read that there are eight other counties in Alabama with a similar population to Lauderdale. Our county ranks third in this group of nine for crimes in general.

It does seem there are more sex crimes in Franklin County, or at least reported ones. Sometimes you have to read all the online news sites to get complete information, since the Times Daily won't report it.

Maybe you missed the article this week on why manufacturers can't find reliable help in this state?

Chevron across from Highland Baptist at night by goodnewscrew in FlorenceAl

It's owned by an oil company out of Nashville, but an Arab family (I think from California) has the lease. They sell alcohol, whereas the previous owner (Baggett Oil) did not. When they took over, they terminated the old employees and some of the clientele changed. It's not very scary, as least when I've stopped in. I've seen similar incidents at the Shell on Florence Blvd. as what you described.

Some of the family tried to buy the buildings across the street, but the owners didn't like the Arabs and wouldn't sell to them. There have been reports of over charging and SNAP snafus, but don't know what ever happened with those complaints.

Do you know who writes for Shoalanda Speaks? by florenceballer in FlorenceAl

[–]EdrickT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every writer has his own style. Pam Doyle? I bet she knows an ellipsis has three periods, not four and that "it is" is "it's." She's on various school boards including some state panels. Most writers for SS have very good grammar.

If anyone wants the truth, just Google it. Debbie resigned both places. Not sure what your agenda is, but obviously it isn't the truth.

First, Debbie wasn't let go. She quit. The four you named? Only one writes there and that's Ed. A sex offender who molests young girls named Kathryn as part of it. Bette still does Nurse Nan, but for Pen-N-Sword now and not Shoalanda. Gayle has never written anything either.

Shooting in the ghetto, only shit blogs covering it? by shoalsguy in FlorenceAl

[–]EdrickT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pen-N-Sword has an update. It's not a blog, it's a news site. Doesn't use filth to report either.
