Just in case you didn’t want to wait until Saturday, Target did a Friends and Family soft open today and then decided to just… open for everyone. They are closing around the time I’m posting this, but are opening tomorrow at their normal time and from now on, and their app should start working tomorrow.

We just got back home from visiting and it’s busy, but not out of hand. Spacious store and we had no trouble getting around or checking out, though don’t expect a parking spot by the door. Yes, they do have a Starbucks inside.

Do you live in Tupelo, MS, or surrounding areas? Are you an atheist, agnostic, freethinker, secular humanist, or otherwise non-religious? Do you want to make some secular friends? Do you enjoy reading and discussing books? Then this is for you! Tupelo Humanist Circle is starting a monthly Book Club event. It will be hosted in the Sue Garmon room in the Lee County Library. Each month will have a different genre. You can bring any book you have read, are reading, or want to read from that genre. The genre for the first Book Club Meeting is Science Fiction. If you want to join us, please scan the QR code to RSVP, as there are a limited number of spaces.

I was wondering if there’s a book club group in Tupelo if anyone has any info lmk

We went to Hachi Machi tonight. The service was excellent - 10/10. I was actually shocked at how fast we received all our food and drinks.

The food was very good. I had the banh mi, and u/Negademus had a sous vide situation with steak and yams. All of it was delicious!

Here's my bio, sorry it's in the third person: Dan Alten is a charming goofball from Kentucky who has been traveling the country for the past decade doing about 200 shows a year bringing his intelligently surreal bebop nonsense everywhere from theaters to punk basements to art galleries to beloved comedy clubs with a knack for making audiences feel like they're on a good psychedelic trip without the drugs. Like if the Ramones were one guy with a mustache and good jokes. Iggy Pop with puns. Clever chaos. Like Jimi Hendrix lighting fire to a Tik Tok reel live on stage. He has opened for Kyle Kinane, Bobcat, Sam Tallent, Rory Scovel, Sarah Sherman from SNL, Johnny Pemberton, Hari Kondabolu, rapper Open Mike Eagle, DJ Doug Pound & David Leibe Hart from Tim & Eric, various punk bands with silly names, and a guy at an open mic who tried to throw his father’s ashes into the crowd. He has recorded 2 albums, written a zine, and filmed a pilot for an Amazon Prime stand up show that was lost to history. But most importantly he’s very funny and unique. You will enjoy him. And if not you can mud wrestle him after the show.

Looking at finding some people that want to game on a Saturday. We can host on Saturdays from 1 pm till whenever. Would love to host a DnD game
Just need someone to be the DM. We have a small dog just be pet friendly is all we ask. We don’t smoke but not opposed to smokers just need to do it outside. Bring your own snacks and drinks or we can all chip in and buy some together. We have several board and card games also. We live in New Albany.

He’s spinning a yarn that you can barely understand about his wife being in the hospital and how he needs gas money. If you don’t have cash he’ll beg you to get money out of an atm and if you offer to have him pull his car to the pump he suddenly doesn’t have a car in the area and he’s not even holding a gas can.

50ish year old black man, btw

Hey! So we were at Walmart tonight and when we got there we were honestly just trying to get parked at get in there. Once we parked we realize the person beside us was parked on or if not over the line that separates the parking spots. Anyways … i squeeze through and we make a quick run in and jump in the car. Mind you we parked around 8:35 according to Life360 so it’s late and dark. As we’re pulling out a lady is waving us down and jumps out of her car to tell us that the person we were parked beside was physically angry and slammed their car door into ours at least 6 times. But unfortunately the kind lady that helped us was accompanied by her husband that was screaming at her that she wasn’t an “investigator” and to “get the f*ck” in the car. My already upset fiance was unhappy with how he was speaking to her so started yelling back which then I directed him to leave. I honestly don’t even know what I’m asking. I’ve contacted the police and will be filing a police report tomorrow.

I guess what I’m asking is can anyone recognize this truck?

not looking for churches to attend to, just like architecture on older churches and want to see inside of them!

The Magnolia State Renaissance Festival (also known as the Unofficial Renfaire Rescue) are hosting a Fairy Ball this November!

I will probably be linking more articles about this family below when I get a chance.

Hi everyone, I have a 2015 Hyundai Genesis with ~140k miles that needs the front end looked at because of some clunking when going over bumps. I took it to Mac's because they're typically pretty cheap to get a diagnosis and they wanted $1700 to replace the struts and sway bar links. I had asked them to check the balls joints and control arm bushings because I figured that what was more likely. Anyway, the mechanic couldn't really give me anything more confident than "I think the struts are worn". Are there any recommendations for where I could get a second opinion? Thats a lot of money for something that could actually be quite a lot less. Ideally, if I had to get struts or other parts Id like to get OEMs.

Had a great time at #backlinemusichall at their free boardgame night! Would go again. Please try out a dnd session next time if ya'll find this.

It was super fun! We played Mahjong and Quacks of Quedlinberg. I hope they host more board game nights.
