  • I lived there for almost a decade, about a decade and a half ago. It was so run down and dying then. People wouldn’t come see us there that we had known all our lives because it was so dangerous. Pizza places wouldn’t deliver down our street, we would have to walk to the main corner to get delivery. We paid a crack head to watch our house while we were away for a weekend.

    I was in disbelief back when I heard about the factories deciding to build there after we had up and left… finally, after barely scraping enough together from living and working there. I wondered how they would fare but didn’t follow up on it then.

    I researched and verified everything you said above, and informed some other family on Fb, that was trying to stir the shit. They would hear none of it.









  • Piping in with some odd history info. They were originally made to give theater patrons something to watch while the main film was re-wound. Theaters used to play the same movie on repeat all day until they got a new film, then it was that movie all day. There were no “move times”. If you showed up midway you just stayed until it repeated so you could catch the beginning. Also why news reels and other visual media would get played.

    Psycho made the change to set times. Hitchcock did not want anyone to accidentally see the end without starting from the beginning. Shortly after that those movie trailers got bastardized into the ads we now know them as.





  • Night Cafe. Free to use but limited uses. Can log in daily for 5 coins, do other tasks for some more. I found it pretty easy to save up a few days then go on sprees of trying things. There is a totally free option there too but it doesn’t have some of the finesse of the coin use ones.

    There are also daily challenges and community challenges, which I think are great to help with ideas. And some of the communities if come across are very helpful with things to add, or add as negative prompts, etc. There is a “group” of artists who leave their prompts open to see too. So when you look through or vote on the other art, you can click to see info and those folks have the prompts they used visible for that piece, in case it’s helpful to you.




  • Thankfully never, not sure how I would have recovered from that one! Did catch it pretending it was on fire a few times. It was alerting the local FD our alarms were triggered when on site, it was quiet an no burning was going on. They called a couple different times about it and even showed up once… in case I was lying? Bet safe than sorry I guess.
