If you think no one cares about bookstores or that people don’t read books anymore, this story proves you wrong.
This small book store in Detroit had the worst luck ever when they were robbed of $35,000 from people using fake credit cards. For a small business that’s enough to close up shop for good. Unless you have some VERY passionate customers like this store does.
The owner of the store made a GoFundMe page to try and get some donations going to keep the doors open. And boy did it work more than ever. Some people donated large amounts like hundreds and some just gave all they could even if it was just $20. In the end they managed to hit their goal and raise $35,098 to save the store! Incredible.

We’ve all done it at least ones. You skip right across the street quickly just outside of the white crosswalk lines. You jaywalked! Some places are more serious about it than others. But where did the “jay” come from?
Going back to the 1920s the term “jay” was a word to call someone an “idiot” or dumb person. So jaywalking by definition means idiot walking.
Be smart. Stay on those crosswalks.

We’ve all been there before. The worst commute ever. You’re running late, car breaks down, traffic, flat tire, whatever else making you late to work. A day ruiner.
Unless your this guy…
His name is Eric Akers. He lives in Oregon and got some local news attention after walking 33 miles to get to work after his car broke down on his commute. It took him 6 1/2 hours to walk to work. Now that’s dedication to your job. Then he worked a full 8 hour shift once he got there! Sounds awful so far.
But then this couple saw his story on the news and were so impressed by his work ethic that they wanted to help him out by giving him a car they no longer use anymore. Sure, it was a ’97 Honda but it still runs!
Amazing.

Today is July 11th. You know what that means! FREE SLURPEE DAY! Get it… 7/11?
The reason they named the stores that was after the original hours of operation. When they first started in 1946 they opened at 7am and closed at 11pm. Then in the 1960s they started staying open 24 hours like it is now, but decided it would be too much of a hassle to change the name because of how popular the stores were.
So there ya go. Enjoy your free slurpee.
