I have recently read about these local articles. I always make sure to read the local newspapers as well as world news. There were multiple restaurants in Gainesville that offered discounts or free meals to government workers because of the government shutdown. I also wrote about this article on my blog. It is nice to see businesses doing this because some workers are struggling to pay for basic necessities.
ReplyDeleteWow I did not know about any of these events happening here in Gainesville. I heard about that crash on I-75 back where I live and I did not know there was a lawsuit or anything like that going on, but I'm glad the victims are getting donations because it was such a horrible accident.
ReplyDeleteThe vaping crisis is getting out of hand. People who have never smoked a cigarette in their life are no severely addicted to nicotine. I believe most gas stations dont even bother to ID young kids anymore just because they make so much money.
