White Hen Pantry was more like a 7/11.I assume it was a competitor to Boston Chicken/Market?
The original Boston Chicken was GREAT. A classic example where in expanding a good thing you make it rotten.

Or that the racist Dixiecrats from the 1950s and the same assholes they vote for as Republicans now.Your typical MAGA likes to believe America's left mirrors Hitler's regime because of the word "socialist" in NSDAP, ignoring they're the ones cheering on America's own version of the gestapo.
They're the same idiots that don't understand the Republicans of 1865 have nothing in common with the GQP in 2025.
Every news show should play nothing but these stories every night. The TLAs could end ICE if they gave a shit. Something like 50% of Americans still watch those nightly news shows, amazingly.![]()
Things getting bad in St. Paul...
They're a rare example of a fish that puts up a good fight on the line and is very good eating. Most of the fighters are bony and disgusting, IMO.
Bidens fault![]()

I want you to understand that while news media and politicians were fearmongering every day about shoplifting in SF (while property crime was *down*), THIS was happening: "the inhalation of one-millionth of an ounce will cause cancer with a virtual 100% statistical certainty."bsky.app
One reason for the skepticism is the potential cost of a new borough acquiring municipal facilities and infrastructure that were paid for via general obligation bonds taken on by the full population, not just the direct users in Eagle River. The city would either have to walk away from its investments in school buildings, roads and other assets, or else the new borough’s residents would need to come up with enough cash to buy them out — which could mean taking on an unsustainable debt load.
“What we’re proposing to Anchorage is that we take the land and the buildings that are inside of Assembly District 2, and that we divide up liquid assets,” Margolin said, though what liquid assets the district would have at its disposal are unclear.
It’s about as hilarious as it sounds. But their plans for schools are even better:“It’s fantasy,” Assembly Chair Christopher Constant said of the proposal, though he said he has not yet read the new application in detail. “You don’t just get to walk away with our assets.”
Constant said while Eaglexit might be able get the requisite number of signatures, he doubts a majority of residents will support the plan once they see a realistic assessment of the costs. That, he said, would include a truer accounting of how much Eagle River would owe to the rest of the municipality’s taxpayers to buy out all the city’s infrastructure, which he estimated would be on on the order of “half a billion dollars.”
“The cash-out costs would be extraordinary. They would need to go into massive debt,” Constant said. “It’s going to be very, very, very, very, very expensive. Five very’s.”
Constant said he has no fundamental problem with the area’s residents breaking off from the rest of the city to establish a new charter and government. But, he said, the shape of that proposal as it’s been presented so far is mostly “bad-faith arguments” with enormous “blind spots” for how to make it fair and financially viable.
“They don’t get to just come in and seize all the good stuff,” Constant said. “We’d be happy to see them go and see them pay their fair share ... As long as they pay their bill, I’m glad to see them go.”
Otherwise, he added, the detachment would amount to a “massive land grab” that the municipality would litigate.
I honestly hope they succeed.Another impetus for detachment is greater local control over education.
“The Anchorage public school system is another thorn in our sides. The ASD seems to embrace every ‘woke’ theory and concept, most of which are anathema to the families in this community,” write organizers on Eaglexit’s website.
A section outlining a new potential school district for the proposed borough describes converting all 16 schools in the area to charter schools, and reducing costs partly by contracting with private service providers so that education “will be run more like an entrepreneurial enterprise or a private household.”
“It is our hope that teachers will not feel the need to invite a union into the district,” the education section states, asserting that teachers would receive higher pay and better retirement benefits than their counterparts in other school districts.
They're also made to practice empathy and have compassion for others.Drag queen story hour going on weekly up there? Kids being forced to pick new pronouns and squat to pee in an open litter box? Have the white kids been taught to be ashamed of their ancestors and made to write apology letters to their minority classmates?
