Tell Me Something Good: Father Daughter Duo Open Up Free Bookstores All Over Their City

With so many people struggling financially lately because of the pandemic it’s so nice to see someone help out their community.

This father and daughter in Chicago had already started a charity back in 2009 called Books 4 Cause that takes used books and gives them out for free. After the pandemic hit this year, they decided to start taking vacant store fronts and turn them into bookstores. FREE bookstores. Where anyone can go get a book without paying anything for it.

This works so well on many different levels. Filling up empty store spaces so the area doesn’t look so depressing. Also reading is one of the most important things we can all do, especially the youth of America. So the fact they are making books available to people no matter what their financial situation is truly inspiring.

Tell Me Something Good: Guy Saves His Store From The California Wildfires… With Beer!

As if 2020 couldn’t get any worse, you’ve probably seen the horrific wildfires that are happening out west in California. As someone who lived out there for a few years and saw some fires, I feel so bad for all those people right now.

Even with a crazy headline like wildfire destruction there still is some good stories to come out of it. A guy in northern California stayed at the shop that he owns to protect it from a the fires, but he ran into a big issue when his water stopped working! So he grabbed the next best thing and used cans of Bud Light to fight the flames and saved his property.

If Bud Light hasn’t already contacted this guy to make his story into an ad campaign, I don’t know what they’re waiting for.
