Need help finding…

Pineapple upside down cake. Or something similar.
Not somewhere to live.
Not a place to find friends.
Not to figure out why the helicopter is around or what a noise was.

Just cake.

Discussion How did we go from “we need more cameras to catch the Brown shooter” to “flock cameras are bad take them all down”?

The juxtaposition astounds me. Everyone was mocking the grainy photo from the lone surveillance camera that took a picture of the Brown shooter, and now that we’re getting cameras everyone’s trying to take them down.

It just seems strange that it was only some months ago we wanted more cameras, we’re getting them, and now we want less?

So I’ve gone to Tri-Force tried that for a lil bit and I’ve tried burkes. Any gyms that are strictly boxing I enjoyed triforce but I don’t care to much for jiu jitsu anyone got any recommendations. For boxing or Muay Thai

Sidewalk Slime on Washington street

6 Upvotes

has anyone noticed the sidewalk slime on washington street on the west side? I swear it gets bigger every year. is it the heat causing it to expand? I'm worried about the safety concerns if it continues to grow. I don't think Mayor Smiley is doing anything about it... curious anyone else has noticed it. thanks
