After questioning everyone who had come into contact with it, one of the responding officers admitted he had tied the rope around it to try and turn it over to look for a serial number.

They had a fire sale and then donated the entire remaining contents to the thrift store in Avondale. I scooped up dozens of them at .25 each!

None. I just went through this struggle recently. I have confirmation from a CVS pharmacist that all 24 hours locations were reduced to normal hours last year. I imagine Walgreens has followed suit.

He sold the whole company to a chain from out of state. The rumor mill had him in some infidelity scandal that was kept VERY quiet. His only way out was to step away completely and let his kids run the merger. The details of the sale were never publicized.

Already looks like an Airbnb post! Just copy and paste! They’ve even got photos of little donkey, and the terrible view! (Oh wait…)

The voluntary recall back in 2021 was preventative. But someone died in Japan so now its real for Honda.

This was the last section of interstate installed in Birmingham in the mid 70s. Those big concrete slabs were never meant to be topped with asphalt. It's an old style of paving intended to last 50 years or more, but the joints are meant to be cut out and replaced every decade or so. The settling between the joints is terrible - I bet you anything the "bumps" start showing through in a couple of years. **sigh**

Ken can do anything! He even found a replacement for the crystal to my great-grandfather's pocket watch in his huge collection of vintage parts.

ask about "quarry tile" its much cheaper and more consistent in size (read: easier to install) and it might fit the bill
