The State Theatre’s been killing it this year. So many great movies…alas, so little time. But make a point of getting down this weekend to catch The Warriors!
Don’t know it? This is the one of the those B-movies that comes up again and again. Heck, even Tony Bourdain was sporting a Warriors t-shirt on an episode of Parts Unknown!
Here’s the plot: a New York City in the near future is ridden with gangs claiming territory. Our favorites, The Warriors must make a perilous journey from The Bronx back to their turf on Staten Island. Will the make it back in one piece?? Watch and find out!
Ok kids, this might come as a shock to you, but Downtown Sioux Falls — currently the hottest spot in town — wasn’t always alright.
If you’re new to town — or under the age of 21 — you might not know just how bad things had gone in the hub of our wee little metropolis.
It’s a typical story, repeated in a thousand other mid-size cities across the US: Some developer turned a cornfield into “The Mall” and suddenly the combination of air-conditioning and free parking(!) made shopping on (the metaphorical) Main St. passe. How can you compete with Orange Julius anyway?
We like to make it easy to know your history. Hopefully, we’re learning from the mistaken ambitions of the past. If not, we’re bound to repeat them. We’re sure there’s another cornfield out by Tea or Harrisburg that some deep-pocketed guy believes to hold the pearls of the future. Let’s keep proving them wrong and keep Downtown happening for a long time to come.
Admit it, we’ve all picked up a six-pack or a bottle of wine based on the label. When you’re running late to a party and you don’t want to show up empty-handed, sometimes your last-minute liquor-store decision comes down to one thing: “That looks cool!”
As they report: ““This was one of the few beers this year I bought simply because I wanted the can,” says Mike Schacherer, the creative director and a vice president of Little & Company. Fernson graphic designer Mitch Torbert drew the whimsical milk carton, at home in 1965 or 2021. Says Schacherer, “It’s clean. It’s simple. It describes the beer. And it makes you smile.”
And indeed it does! Our favorite cans will always be the classics: Budweiser, PDR, Miller High LIfe, etc. But if you’re going to break out of the tall-boy pack, it’s good to have some fun with it.
Fernson’s Vanilla Milkshake IPA does that just right, both on the outside of the can…and on the sudsy inside too.
