Apartment Looking, Local Stuff, Apple Coming Home, Venom Update, Amazon HQ2
Hello everyone, hope it is going well today. As some of you know I am being kicked out of my current apartment because of my roommate not paying his rent like he should have. So I am looking for a new place to rent and have been looking online. Today I have an appointment with a lady to look at an apartment at a place called Ash Street Place. I have looked at a place there before I moved into my current spot. Hopefully things go well, I will let you all know, it is at 2 pm, I have started writing this at 12 pm. The meeting went well, the lady was nice but I am not sure it is what I am looking for. I have the advantage that I do not have to vacate where I am at until March, so I still have a little bit. I looked at a 1 bedroom apartment, there were a few problems like the doorway for the bedroom was a little bit of a tight fit and I would not be able to drive my wheelchair into the bathroom but she said that they could fix that and open the doorway up to the bathroom. I do like the deck area, it is so much larger than what I have. I did take an application but she would call me back to let me know if it was possible to make the bathroom doorway any bigger. So I guess we will see what happens with that, I will not stop looking though.
Today is a local day so I will find something local to talk about. One thing first that is close to my home happened in Macon. They finally tore down the old Macon County Jail. I wish they did not tear it down as I think it should have been deemed an historical site and given tours. That would have been a way for Macon to make even more money off people. One of the bigger things that have been weighing on peoples minds is the whole deal with Governor Eric Grietens. I have been asked if I think that he should step down as Governor or not. I say yes but it is because of what he ran on to win that office, family values. Yes, he made a mistake that a lot of men have made in their lives but he put himself out there as such a big family man. All I have to say is what I have said before, live up to what you say you are, words do not define anyone, lest of all you.
A big story that is not getting the coverage it deserves is the fact that Apple has pledged to bring $350 billion dollars back into the country and open up thousands of new jobs. I will link the article from Tech Crunch at the end. I am excited about that, it opens a lot of doors for people. Not sure where they will do most of their hiring but it is a positive sign. Also, that is a ton of money to be injecting back in the national economy. I do not think that Apple will be the only major company doing something like this, just keep a look out. http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1KEkBT/:uToKliB@:SEyKxUGy/techcrunch.com/2018/01/17/crunch-report-apple-pledges-350-billion-investment-in-u-s-economy
There has now been a correction on a story I reported before. Spider-man will not be showing up in Venom but Peter Parker will be. As far as I know that is the scoop, of course it could change in the coming months. I will report what I know when I know.
Some of you may know that Amazon is looking for a city to host its HQ2. Kansas City and St. Louis were on the lists before but on the new shorter list of 20 they are gone. I think it would have been great to have an Amazon headquarters not far from where I live, that might help create jobs even 2 hours away. Guess it is not to be though, oh well.
Well, that is all I have for today. I will be back tomorrow, I hope you all have a great night or day, take care!
