I remember being told that a Daredevil had opened a studio downtown and my understanding was they were referring to Aardvark but I can't find corroboration online. This letter to the editor names the owner as a John Jacobsen

Wrote the lyrics to at least two smash hits from Top Gun alone, wild to find his name so far down the thread

Lander's Theater. Also the downtown Y is closing, which is timely.

According to the Walmart app the Glenstone store has some in stock. But heck, it's a good reason to check out the locals first.

That's good to hear. My dad worked for Hiland and then Foremost back in the day and I'm pretty sure it was union work then, maybe Teamsters

The Google QA section said the Joplin and Springfield stores are owned by Arkansas chain Harps, which would explain the "employee owned" notion. Food 4 Less was always a weird franchise, and skimming that wiki page I kind of understand why

This was a big complaint for Walmart workers last year. If you were in a Walmart parking lot and saw dozens of big storage containers, that's why. They were so jammed up in the backroom they couldn't get to the merchandise to stock it.

But generally speaking, it's an indication that the store doesn't prioritize rotation/freshness/sell by dates. If this is common on the floor, what does it say about their produce and meat? (It doesn't have to say anything, they may prioritize freshness there, but it's a flag.)

So for the record, the cheese is still there? Did you get to see it?

1. Get edibles at Greenlight and eat one right away (not the driver)
2. Get in line at Chik Fil A. By the time you get your food, the munchies will be kicking in

Yes indeed

Stopped at Easy Mountain in Republic this afternoon, in and out in under 30 minutes. If anyone is looking for alternatives. Super nice professional folks there. edit to add: for perspective, there were probably 20 people ahead of me when I got there waiting in the lobby. They only allow a few people to shop at one time, but still it went pretty quick.

Yeah, that sounds about right. We moved to Arkansas around '79, so before that

edit: well, Elvis died before we moved, so yeah :D

haha I didn't go to that concert but I do remember STP playing at the Mosque. My first real concert was KC and the Sunshine Band at Hammons Student Center. My folks saw Elvis play there. Some really good bands played there when it opened, Heart, Doobie Brothers

I hope someone has a local suggestion. Qdoba and Chipotle let you make your burrito but eh.

This thread is good info and needs more updoots

We started sneaking a quick ride by grabbing on to the back as they drove off, until the driver caught us. Boy was he pissed and rightly so. He may have stopped coming to our corner after that.

Any radio commercial with squealing tires, honking or emergency sirens. Seriously fire people who make those commercials.

I think most people are feeling the conflict between what is still socially expected of them (start a family, buy a house, have a successful career) and the reality that those days are increasingly out of reach for the average American. They (particularly white men) feel like they've done what they were supposed to do and aren't receiving the upward-mobility rewards enjoyed by their grandparents.

They feel gypped of a lifestyle they felt was promised to them, and are lashing out at anyone they have a sense of authority over. Retail and fast food workers, teachers (also spouses and kids) become easy targets because it's hard for them to walk away from the assailant. And there are almost never repercussions for these attacks, so they continue and can easy escalate and spread.

When I swung by this afternoon the line was on the shoulder backed up past popeye's, past macadoodles, past the empty lot that is soon to be a culvers, and past the car wash. I get that this is all in fun but this is not a location move, this is an Arrival. And it will pass in a few weeks, WaB isn't that great.

Update: yes, very good. Thanks for the recommendation everyone!

This is a new place to me but looking at the Yelp reviews I'll have to try it out. (They had me at firecracker chicken tacos.)
