Wine and cheese store near me

A gun s tore owner near Atlanta said he is closing his store after his conscience was burdened by recent mass shootings that targeted young victims. Jon Waldman, 43, opened Georgia Ballistics in Duluth in March 2021, and post-pandemic business has been steady ever since, he said. But a pair of recent attacks, one at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, and another inside an Atlanta hospital, were the final straws for Waldman, who said that his shop is already closed and that he plans to have all weapons cleared out by June 15. "There’s no guilt about it. I sell to law-abiding citizens," Waldman said Thursday. He said he reached the point of worrying that any weapon he sells, even to someone who will never commit a crime, could end up in the wrong hands. “I’m not against the Second Amendment.

And, that was that. The two, like other freshman athletes, had arrived at Clark Hall early — he was an All-American goalie for the soccer team freshman year, and she was on the volleyball team, and its captain senior year. “Our friend groups collided regularly,” Mr. Purdy said. So they often showed up at the same fraternity and house parties, hung out at the Nest bar, or just sat around Foss Hill. Although they never got close at school, and dated other people, Mr. Purdy said that even then her “distinct laugh and hilarity stood out.” She and … [Read more...] about He Acted Out a Charades Clue Three Years Later

Sponsored By 0 Real Estate A round house in Florida survived Hurricane Ian. In a star-studded California enclave, guests walk in circles. In Illinois, plan to hunt. Beth Dalbey , Patch Staff Posted | Updated Reply ACROSS AMERICA — There are some advantages, at least theoretically, to living in a round house. Contractors and companies that build and sell them tout the energy efficiency that comes with a simple shape, an aerodynamic design that’s better able to withstand high winds and hurricanes, and acoustics that soften sounds. But would you feel like you’re just walking around in circles? Or that you’re stuck on a merry-go-round that won’t spin? This week in How Much House , we looked at round homes in California, Florida and Illinois.
