OPEN POST: It's Wednesday, So Let's Go Downtown!

the license plate number)

The year is 1965 and although the James Bond flick "Goldfinger" was released last year it was still #1 at the box-office (and at the end of '65 the follow-up "Thunderball" came out and also made a fortune). Similarly, Petula Clark's "Downtown" was released in 1964 but it also happened to be the first #1 song of 1965.

What later got praised as toughness was early emotional self-reliance, hardened in the glare of divorce, AIDS, crime headlines, mass layoffs, and glossy consumer culture insisting that everything was “awesome.” That survival code followed Gen X into adulthood. When faced with economic instability, workplace ine...

Credit: The Daily Enquirer Poor Brandi Glanville just can't ever seem to catch a break. First, her husband publicly cheated on her with Falkor. Then she got some mysterious "parasite" in her face that has been causing her issues since 2023. And just this past Easter, she had to go to urgent care to remove garlic from her ear! In the latest episode of her Unfiltered podcast, the 53-year old shared how trying out a home remedy led to her needing to go to the emergency room. She had caught a head cold from her 18-year old son, Jake, and says that her other son, Mason, suggested the idea of sticking garlic in her nose to help clear her sinuses.
