Celebrations, Foodie, ,
Troy Warren for CNT   NATIONAL DETROIT-STYLE PIZZA DAY On June 23rd, join the celebration born in the birthplace of the American Automobile and Motown. National Detroit-Style Pizza Day recognizes the square-cut pizza style first served at Buddy’s Pizza in 1946 in the city that also gave us Madonna, the Mustang, and the first paved road.

NBC Approaches “Moral Hazard” Amid Tokyo Olympics Push During Pandemic

Business, COVID-19, Editors Picks, , ,
BY PATRICK BRZESKI | HollywoodReporter.Com Troy Warren for CNT As health experts question the wisdom of proceeding with the games in Japan — where just 6 percent of the population is fully vaccinated — the broadcaster, with billions at stake, is taking a big risk. During the TV industry’s upfronts in May, Disney enlisted Jimmy Kimmel to liven up the proceedings with a stand-up routine.

Fourth of July expected to bring near record travel volumes

Travel, ,
By Kelly Yamanouchi, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Troy Warren for CNT Nearly 1.5 million Georgians are expected to give in to wanderlust over the Independence Day holiday, which would make it the second most traveled July 4th on record and comes just months after the number of COVID-19 cases in the state hit a peak with thousands crammed into the state’s hospitals.

Woof Post, ,
Troy Warren for CNT   If your dog ever has the misfortune to get sprayed by a skunk, you definitely want to be prepared! There is nothing worse than opening the door to let your dog in, only to realize he’s been sprayed. One sniff will tell you instantly and most people cannot stand to even be in the same room with their dog once they have been sprayed. So why is skunk spray so offensive? Skunk spray comes from two glands which are located on each side of the skunk’s anus. The glands produce the liquid which is composed…
