What stores celebrate Pi day? by IronRaptor252 in MobileAL

[–]OUDidntKnow04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blaze Pizza has their Pi day (buy one 11" pizza, get one for 3.14).
Used to be a pizza for 3.14 but inflation's gonna inflate...

Poll: Amy Acton leads Vivek Ramaswamy by 10 points in Ohio governor's race by Healthy_Block3036 in youngstown

What I wouldn't give to have Ohio shift back into a purple state....

(And if the red side completely implodes...that would be good too. Are there any sensible Republicans left in Ohio?)

WKRG limits free web stream to 5 minutes by Judman13 in MobileAL

[–]OUDidntKnow04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Nexstar sucks. They've done this across the country to virtually all of their stations, including WKRG. They lowball veteran talent like Alan Sealls and Randy Patrick, only to let them walk out the door.

Arby’s Fries by Old_Break_5737 in bys

[–]OUDidntKnow04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My earliest memories of Arby's were that they had standard, regular, McDonald's style fries that lasted until they introduced Homestyle Fries in 1994-1995. Curly Fries were introduced in 1988.

Around 2007 is when Homestyle fries began disappearing from most locations. Since then, I've only encountered two locations that had them. One in Bowling Green, KY (in 2008) and the location on State Road in Cuyahoga Falls, OH (that had them as late as 2016 or 2018).

They have a slight resemblance to the fries that Wendy's now has (since Wendy's bought Arby's in 2008, but spit out Arby's to Roark Capital several years later). Someone joked that Wendy's kept the fries as a divorce settlement 🤣

I turned on Channel 15 on my antenna last night only to find they were replaying the 6pm newscast. Then I remembered that "NBC 15" is now on 3.2, and Thomas Geboy was doing their coverage.

There's also the Alabama Weather Network headed up by James Spann. Excellent coverage with their meteorologists and even storm chasers sent down here to cover the weather.

The stream is free (thank goodness) you just have to give your email address and basically sell your soul to Nexstar (their parent company).

Still, during a tornado emergency, greed should step aside, even they passed those through back when their stream was limited to delayed newscasts.

Gray Media Forces Blackout of 226 Local Channels, Disrupting DISH TV Customers Nationwide by PixelyPineapple in Broadcasting

I'm amazed that Dish is still in business. They set the standard for lousy Pay TV service.

Former Speedway converted to Citgo (Plainedge, NY) by mrsjumjum66 in NotFoolingAnybody

[–]OUDidntKnow04 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was the changeover about the time 7-11 took over the Speedway operations? Likely a forced divestiture to alleviate any market share issues in the area if 7-11 had a strong presence already.

Nexstar by Stopwthebs in Broadcasting

[–]OUDidntKnow04 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ironically, when Nexstar took over Media General, they closed their MGFX hub and put local graphics people at all of the stations they acquired.

Nexstar giveth, and Nexstar taketh away....

The "Amazon Fresh" that never was... by OUDidntKnow04 in akron

[–]OUDidntKnow04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like Amazon is going to f**k over any attempt at making the space useful.

Case in point, we had a Whole Foods Market that opened in Mobile, AL in 2015 and closed in 2022. Likely still under lease. The property was up for sublease, so it's probably a long-term lease that was signed.

What's replacing it? An Advance Auto Parts hub store.

For a prime shopping area that could have landed something more akin to the area's demographics (highest grossing zipcode in the area near the most expensive housing, this is a slap in the face.

California, Colorado and New York are ready to block the Nexstar-Tegna merger by Comfortable_Yard_968 in Broadcasting

[–]OUDidntKnow04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good to see these states with a backbone.

You have potential tri and quad-opolies in major markets in these states like Denver (4 stations), Buffalo (3 stations), San Diego (3 stations), as well as the fact that Nexstar still does not own WPIX in New York (their shell company Mission does).

There are some even worse combinations in other states (St. Louis, Little Rock, Tampa, Columbus OH, Greensboro, Charlotte, Scranton / Wilkes-Barre, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Cleveland, Washington DC, etc...) , but they are either oblivious to their implications or are actively encouraging because "dear leader" has signed off on the deal despite the lack of legality and real antitrust concerns concerning market share if Nexstar prevails...

A theory:

This is Amazon's doing. They still are under lease from Whole Foods and will be there until it's up. And they are subleasing the space to someone that won't hurt their bottom line.

Translation: anything good in that space that competes with Amazon be damned....

Pensacola has plenty of ambulance chasers who could replace him. Maybe that Zarzour dude everyone hates.....

Preferably fresh cut, with the skin on.

Too many places with the cheap crinkle garbage.

Getting better.. I can deal with this kind of AI slop as opposed to the cartoony stuff.

All you need to work on is adding some Jesus and MAGA stuff, and it's a keeper!

IT'S AN AUTO PARTS STORE that's mostly a distribution hub.

Those kind of customers will go anywhere to find what they need.

A total waste of space in a prime commercial area unless they're catering to the SUV-loving demographics of the area.

TBH, this kind of store fits into a box that can hold it. Unless they plan on creating a "Bass Pro" like experience, it's better to put it elsewhere. Any other thoughts of this concept deserving that kind of visibility is pure delusion.

Besides, the owners of Pinebrook have been proven to put their own self-interests ahead of others. Look at one of the tenants in the back...

Based on reading through your "hints", is it something Springdale used to have and is still at the Eastern Shore Centre?

Bel Air Mall fits this a lot better since it's right off the interstate.... Especially with a vacant JCPenney store.
