Slangin' Liquor in the Hood

Slangin' Liquor in the Hood From the site: A look into the everyday dealings of a 34 year old liquor store owner and his crew in the "hood." Gangs, trailer parks, alcoholics, methheads, crack heads (yeah they still exist)....I read somewhere that this profession makes the top 5 regularly among the most dangerous jobs. But me, I ain't scurred. What's it like to own a liquor store? In the hood? Some notable excerpts: Dealing with customer dissatisfaction. Corporate communication. And unexpected acts of kindness. Caution: heavy doses of slang involved.

makes 'em look like cool spacemen or ghengis khan or aliens or evel knievels...

The sport and hobby of Falconry, or hunting small game with raptors has been around since ~600 bce. What you might not have known is that there is a small industry to provide your hawk or falcon with a jaunty chapeau, often necessary to keep the bird calm. More here, here, and here. And then there's the crazy. All you need... is five-hundred geepee...

They just don't make 'em like they used to

Hood ornaments: streamlined chrome from a bygone era in automotive design. From stylized trains to jet planes these tiny icons chronicle America's transition from the jazz age to the space race. Lots more here.
