First, aren’t you in school right now? Listen to your teacher. ...read more

Parkies Munching at Jake’s Instead of Jack’s?
An east of 75 dwelling Overheardian wants to know what’s up with Parkies on his turf.
Over the last few weekends, we’ve noticed a lot of HP/UP folks (as evidenced by the ever-present bumper stickers) at our local burger joint, Jake’s (the original in LH). Is it because they’re on a Home Depot run, or are they intentionally stepping out on Jack’s? It’s ...read more
