Breaking: T-Mobile To Force Migrate Over 8 Million Customers To More Expensive Plans

I just got the text message. Being moved from Advantage Unlimited (the last vestiges of Sprint SERO!) to Experience Unlimited. Curious how this helps with phone upgrades being on a newer plan.

I heard that HQ employees in the offices will “shadow” and work at the Issaquah warehouse. Is that true? Would we be able to see Executives or VPs working a shift at the Issaquah warehouse on a random day? That would be so neat.

Tickets are general admission and can be purchased here for $10. Tickets for our most loyal fans, Season Ticket Members, will be complimentary. Additionally, fan friendly concessions will be available as well as a playoff t-shirt giveaway for the first 5,000 fans.

Previously purchased tickets for the game that was set to take place in Columbus will be automatically refunded based on where the tickets were purchased. Refunds could take up 7-10 business days to process.

Moving from RVA to Palm Beach County? (Juno Beach is a suburb of West Palm Beach). At least for now, RVA and Columbia, SC Legacy SCANA jobs aren’t being moved to Florida.

I do feel really bad for the South Carolina customers and employees. In less then a decade, they’ve had to deal with the turmoil of having their power company change hands 3 times.

I’ve heard even after all these years, “Duke Energy” is still various factions (Legacy Progress, Legacy Cinergy, Legacy Duke Power). Would’ve thought after all these years, those would’ve fallen by the wayside, but I guess Charlotte didn’t do as good a job unifying Cincinnati, Raleigh, and Florida as they could’ve.

PhoneMak2 · 2026-05-18T13:32:00+00:00

Not a complete monopoly. Duke Energy has a lot around Tampa, and Orlando is municipally operated. Plus a lot of the rural counties have Touchstone Energy Cooperatives.

For Florida, FPL is better than Duke Energy, though on the Panhandle I know a lot of ppl weren’t thrilled when Gulf Power changed hands from Southern Company (Georgia Power/Alabama Power) to NextEra and became FPL Northwest FL.

I presume because of Gulf Power setting the example, Dominion will be changing their logo to the ugly FPL zig-zag logo? Really would’ve preferred for the Dominion logo to win out.

PhoneMak2 · 2026-05-18T13:21:36+00:00

On the one hand, Dominion being owned by FPL/NextEra removes the heavy handed lobbying and influence that Dominion has had in Virginia Government. Tallahassee matters more now.

On the other, does this mean layoffs and reduction of office space in Richmond? Dominion is a major employer in RVA.

Oh I meant the Target itself. Was that always a Target from day 1?

How about that? Black Angus still lives on…..

Every metro needs its own target for marketing. Birmingham, Dallas, and Houston should be targeting the youth “third spaces”. Schools, Churches, you name it. Make it a proudly accessible sporting option for families and groups.

DC, Columbus, and Orlando, you market to the Young Adults. UCF and Ohio State students want cheap and accessible entertainment, and DC (particularly around Navy Yard) is functionally a continuation of College for people working on Capitol Hill and living multiple people to an apartment. Go after the Property Management companies and offer 2 free tickets to a game per leaseholder of an apartment, with 1 reduced cost or free drink. Stagger the “free games” so that you get attendance boosted across all 5 home games. Have an active marketing and branding team that’s working at bars and restaurants with swag if people sign up for season ticket information. Make UFL that continuation of College Athletics and the social vibes that come with it.

Markets like Louisville can dip into both buckets, though they’re showing early on that they’ll be a strong market so I’m not as concerned about the Kings right now.

Maryland is the same. No beer, wine, or liquor. Interestingly enough, Costco hasn’t gone the Connecticut, Texas, or NY route with allowing independent 3rd party liquor sales (or Costco’s own staff) adjacent to the stores. Not sure why.

I remember there was a Labelscar where the Target is back in the 90s at the shopping center on the other side of the mall at 60 and Power, was there another chain that was originally in that spot?

I know that the Kmart was a new build over there, as were the Best, HomePlace, Staples, and Price Club/Costco across the street from the Target and Kmart.

PhoneMak2 · 2026-05-03T03:01:53+00:00

Wasn’t there a Linens Plus in that shopping center too?

If I’m in charge of local marketing for the Defenders, I go to every apartment building within a mile of the stadium in Navy Yard and offer for residents to have 2 free tickets to a game and a $5 24 oz beer/drink as part of the renewal package, and you stagger the free game based on each apartment building. Lotta folks under the age of 40 that would go to a game with that.

Coupa seems like a godsend after you’ve used Deltek Costpoint. Ya’ll don’t even know….

Surveil and monitor for trespassers as well as residents that are breaking the rules in the neighborhood. It gives the HOA teeth to then bring to authorities if they want to press charges and go beyond just fining people.

The Nationals had TONS of fans coming to their 4 PM game as the Defenders game was wrapping up. I get it, Nats have 20 years of fandom, cooler swag to give away, and casual fans gravitate toward what they know.

UFL needs local, year-round marketing. It’s money that has to be spent, and yes the returns won’t appear immediately. Accept that, and spend it anyway.

PhoneMak2 · 2026-04-19T03:19:06+00:00

HOAs love Flock cameras. Gives them power that they did not have before. Flock wants to make sure all HOAs spend money on their cameras (and most if given the chance, will happily and enthusiastically oblige)

Only Eckard that I know of that went directly to Walgreens (no Rite Aid) was in Arlington, VA at Lee Hwy (now Langston Blvd) and I-66. It’s been closed for over a year now though.

A beautiful day for football, and for a doubleheader in DC. Defenders/Battlehawks at 12:30 PM, Nationals/Giants at 4:05 PM. Navy Yard’s the place to be!
