A few months back, we reported that 420 Bliss, a cannabis dispensary at Brunswick Plaza, had changed its name to Just a Little Higher. That didn't last.
As much as a month or two ago, 420 Bliss reverted to that name, likely due to a falling out with the Higher chain owners in New York.
As long as cannabis remains big business in the 518, 420 Bliss will gain more competition. Stay tuned.

Seems someone doesn't like the city government and their signs suggesting that "It's OK to say no to panhandlers".
Riding a bus to Walmart this morning, I noticed that such a sign at the Collar City Bridge had been wiped in white spray paint, and some genius scribbled an f-bomb in black ink over the white paint. While people have the option to give these folks a buck or two, there has to be the understanding that not all panhandlers are legitimately poor or homeless. That's all there is, and if there's some jobroni that doesn't like it, well, suffice to say, absent a likely visit from the police, their opportunities could be fewer & further between going forward. Just sayin'.

One issue CDTA hasn't addressed that has been around for years is the fact that some drivers have friends and/or family members that will ride along------and stand in front of the yellow line, which is still federally prohibited.
I had friends who drove for CDTA in the past. I saw two options. One, stand behind the line close enough to the driver to conduct a conversation. Two, sit in a front seat across the aisle. I used option 2 more often than not.
Today, one driver had her friend not only staying in front of the yellow line the entire trip from Walmart to downtown, but said friend did a solid by helping passengers when needed, particularly a couple who needed help getting a baby stroller on & off the bus. Maybe the driver should petition to get her friend a job application......!

Black Friday was a weird day at WROW.
Morning co-host Jaime Roberts had the day off, leaving co-host Ben Patten to go solo. Evening host Bill Williams handled traffic and Patten's mid-day shift, so, you figure, weekend host "Brother" Lou Roberts, who usually has the gig on such days, would fill Williams' shift. Nope. Jaime was called in to cover for Williams. Sunday evening host/promotions director Candace Curby apparently wasn't available.
Something to watch for next month, come the day after Christmas, when this could happen again.
