I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Nationwide chicken wing shortage sends Florida prices soaring By Asher Wildman Seminole County PUBLISHED 5:21 PM ET Jun. 02, 2021 LONGWOOD, Fla. -- On Super Bowl Sunday of this year, Americans consumed about 1.4 billion chicken wings. What You Need To Know Americans ate about 1.4 billion chicken wings on Super Bowl Sunday this year Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, though, the chicken wing industry has taken a sizeable hit The shortage has caused the price of wings to nearly double since the beginning of the year The U.S has the largest broiler chicken industry in the world. However, due to the pandemic like so many other industries the chicken wing industry is taking a hit and that could impact consumers wallets. Papa Bee's Owner Lorie Hamm doesn't have a problem finding customers, or ringing up the register. Business is booming, but it's not all good news. "Our sales are probably better than they were before COVID but as in better, what's better?" Hamm said. "The food cost is extremely high." According to the National Chicken Council, coronavirus outbreaks in meat processing plants, and a winter storm that impacted farms in Texas had a domino effect on the industry. "You can only cut up or debone so many chickens in a day," Rollins College Professor of Operations Management Dr. Kennan Yoho said. "Once that comes back online if you are not sitting on any type of inventory, there will be a back log." That backlog has created a weekly fowl bidding war. "There's 300 cases that are allocated for two counties I believe, they were gone in two minutes," Hamm said. At the beginning of the year, a case of wings sold for $70-90 a case. Now they are about $150 a case. Consumers are also seeing an increase. On average ten wings sell for about $11. Now Papa Bees is at $13.99 and that barely turns a profit. "You can't raise them too much, for the customers to the point they can't afford it," Hamm explains. "It's supply and demand, you have no choice with inflation or you will not make anything." As more and more states continue to re-open, Yoho said pressure is on nearly every industry to catch up. "You had a slow down, people brought down their inventories, now suddenly there is a surge in demand," Yoho said. Papa Bee's has the demand, but it's their bottom line currently getting cooked. According to food suppliers the chicken wing industry is expected to continue to take a hit for at least two more months. Papa Bee's is working to stay out of the red is by simply outselling their competition. They are hosting a wing eating contest and hoping to host 1,000 customers for a special event on Saturday, June 12.

Wikipedia Description: Penn Quarter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Penn Quarter is a neighborhood in the East End of Downtown Washington, D.C. north of Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. Its boundaries are not well established, but they appear to extend along F Street NW from 5th to 10th Streets, and approximately H Street on the north where Penn Quarter abuts or partially overlaps with Chinatown. Penn Quarter is southeast of the Metro Center shopping district. Penn Quarter has been rejuvenated over the past several decades, stimulated first by the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation (PADC) and later, following the recession in the 1990s, by the Verizon Center, a sports, concert and event arena that opened nearby at 7th and F streets in 1997 as the MCI Center. Penn Quarter now boasts a variety of entertainment and commercial establishments including museums, theaters, restaurants, bars, and contemporary art galleries. The area is also home to a popular farmers market and several food, wine, art, and culture focused festivals.

Revitalization

Penn Quarter's initial growth occurred under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation whose Pennsylvania Avenue Plan called for a mixed-use neighborhood. It was to include residences, offices, theaters and other cultural venues, retail, hotels, and restaurants in both new and renovated buildings framing new parks and plazas. Revitalization started with a number of developments west of the FBI Building to 15th Street, most significantly the renovation of what today is the Willard Intercontinental Hotel, and the creation of new parks and plazas, including Pershing Park, Freedom Plaza, and the Navy Memorial. Market Square, The Pennsylvania, and the former flagship store of Lansburgh's department store on 7th Street were at the forefront of the revitalization efforts east of the FBI Building beginning in the mid-1980s. The nearby Verizon Center, which opened in 1997, stimulated the revitalization of adjacent blocks to the north and east and the Penn Quarter neighborhood to the south.
Gallery Place at Night

Penn Quarter is home to many restaurants, cultural, and entertainment venues in Washington, D.C. On Thursday afternoons in spring, summer, and fall, the FRESHFARM Penn Quarter farmers market is open on 8th Street, just south of E Street. The Newseum is located at the intersection of 6th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. The building also includes offices and television studio space, The Source restaurant by Wolfgang Puck, and the Newseum Residences, an apartment rental community. The neighborhood is served by a variety of recreational and entertainment facilities including seven theaters, Lucky Strike bowling and several exercise clubs. Other neighborhood amenities include several coffee shops and a teahouse / restaurant on 8th Street; three salons with day spas; Penn Quarter Sports Tavern; the nearby Landmark E Street Cinema, which screens independent films; Regal Theater; and shops selling clothing, jewelry, ice cream, and books, among other things. Over the past thirty years the neighborhood has transformed from a sleepy, nondescript part of downtown into a vibrant 24-hour residential and commercial community.
