Last week Starbucks announced it is selling its new $45 million corporate jet. With sales slumping and layoffs being planned, the company realizes that times have changed.
Al Bogdan taught me how to type on a manual, Royal typewriter in my Junior year of high school. In retrospect, that was probably the most important thing I learned in my three years at EHS.
So you really didn’t care who won the Super Bowl, played a few short days ago in sleezy old Tampa Bay, Fla.? The strip club capitol of the universe? Well, I know a few people who did care about the tilt’s outcome. I know I did.
It’s February again and that means it’s time for our first annual downtown event, the Sumner Sweetheart Wine Walk. This year it falls right smack dab on Valentine’s Day so we’re hoping even more people will make Sumner their destination for a sweet holiday night out with friends and loved ones.
