How bout that stock market?

Safety is the key. I think it could be a big success if people feel safe going there. That's basically what killed Lafayette Square and has almost killed Castleton.
All the car dealerships left Pike Plaza and the surrounding area. That was the death knell. West side has been going through some revitilization though with the improvements around the speedway. Don't know if it will reach that far north though.

Company leaders have pointed to inflation and difficulties in competing, saying they had “a substantial doubt” in their ability to continue. Between the first quarters of 2023 and 2024, Big Lots had reported that sales dropped more than 10%.

I used to go to Big Lots once a month and load up on junk food (chips, cookies) and sports drinks. They had in house brands that were very good and really cheap. About a year ago they dropped the house brands and only carried Lays brand chips and name brand cookies. Gave up on them. Have since found good cheap alternatives at the Dollar Store.
 
Where is the hell is the love of my life? Seems like I'm doing well in the market today!!

Years ago when we just moved back to Indy and before Aldi's we stopped in every now and then too. The one off Allisonville Road. You could always find deals on stuff. I was shocked to see a Big Lots, which I think people on low budgets need, closing so many stores. That sucks for a lot of people IMO

DUDE, if you like cheese, Aldi's now has an AWESOME selection of cheese and Charcuterie. Totally strange for a budget joint, but OMG the cheese !!
Eat well my friends, but don't forget the laxative if you over indulge! The Goat cheese with the herbs on crackers..... Or the white ultra dry sharp cheddar paired with a Merlot, OR (OMG....) a good Dubliner super duper extra sharp cheese that crumbles in your hand, with taste that will blow your cranium apart. PPPPPOOOOWWW DUBLINER is my favorite !! EVA !

Yes they do...We went over the holidays last year and they were out of a good portion of their stuff. They do have some goodies for charcuterie for sure!

They got a 5bil lifeline from vw.

That's the first step in VW either acquiring them completely or at least their tech if sales continue to lag.

Well, it didn't take long for VW to play their hand after dumping $5B into Rivian





If it looks like a Rivian and drives like a Rivian, why would you buy an actual Rivian?

Guy down the street got a cybertruck. Just hideous
It's all about the accessories. Go from basic to bitch to Insta Babe in 2 easy steps.

No I hate the normal ones. I want that one in the pic.

Driving that around in my SCC and a flat bill and I’d be swimming in it.
@hookyIU1990 another neighbor just got a new ferrari. first it looks ridiculous as save the cybertruck it is a honda accord neighborhood and looks totally out of place. like someone from out of town is visiting him. but my point in writing this is that this fing thing is sooooooooooooo loud that you can hear it two blocks away. the second he starts it in the morning. when he comes home. it's a fing nuisance. it's louder than the trash truck

Our neighbor across the street has a buddy who owns a McLaren. It's in their driveway 5 or 6 times/year. Very distinct sound and totally out of place.

Meanwhile, I see monstrosities like this out in the wild and have to take multiple photos "to make sure I get a good one".

I'm constantly taking pics of the old stuff. I love cars from the 70s and older. I owuld have taken at least 3 different pictures of your car from various angles.

I gotta say, part of me is intrigued by this. I always wanted to buy one of those old 1960's grain trucks with that extra long chassis, take the dump bed off of it and drop a vintage 16 foot camper on it.

That would be awesome. How about a firetruck?
